Post by: Schafer on December 25, 2010, 01:55:00 PM
As a gift today for Christmas my dad gave me his Schafer Silvertip! I was very excited when i saw it as I unwrapped it. Now i just have to build up some muscle by shooting it, because it is 66#. However I am extremely happy. Thanks DAD(VTer)

Keep it as special gift,because this is the kind of things that create a bond from a father to his son.I am sure your Dad loved his Tip and he gave it to you something that will last a life and maybe you could pass it to your son.
Not many things can be so personal a so usable like a traditional bow,maybe a watch!
I am glad for both of you.

now what you need to do is send a pic of you and your dad to dave and see if he can laser engrave it on the bow ,that would be very awsome!

Dude, I couldn't be happier for you! Monster bow especially the weight. You'll slide into it like a good glove.

a word of caution, make sure you can pull and shoot it comfortable, not sure of your circumstances but you indicated that it might be a little to much poundage, some serious bad habits are started by to much poundage, but if you know that going in and work at it it shouldn't be a problem, The history of the bow should give you the incentive to do it right.

I have my dad's old Bear Grizzly, along with his original cedar arrows and broadheads.  I've been hunting with it this year, would be really neat to get something with it.

That's a great gift given to you from your father. Train for the heavier weight, practice a lot and it will produce for you.

Great bow, super Dad!

My son and I don't share dominant eyes so I can't pass to him one of my lefties, at least for anyting other than display. I'm hoping one of my grandsons will be left-eye dominant.

Its been little over 3 months and now I am shooting it with no problems. With it being 66@29 and myself having a 28.5 inch draw i thought I would have a problem with its draw weight. Now Im going to use for turkeys and deer and what ever else this year brings.

Picture of my Turkey set up with it.
Schafer Silvertip Recurve 62 inch 66@29. Carbon Express Predators II's at 30.5 inches and most likely 175 graing VPA Terminators up front.
