I can hardly believe that I won this gorgeous Schafer bow in the PBS Raffle!

The riser is Rosewood and Actionwood, and checkered by Dave Windauer.

The tips are Moose antler

The limb veneer is a really great looking burl

The bow is 60" and 51@28 and it shoot just great!

"So how does it shoot Bjorn? Boy, going from a longbow with a recurve grip to a "full" recurve.."

It shoots great, and it's a longbow-pic coulda' been more clear.
