Title: I have been a Baaaad boy,LOL
Post by: Danny Rowan on January 23, 2012, 09:31:00 AM
I know, I know, I said I was done,LOL.  BUT, I was so impressed with my new Schafer "Love Potion #9"

SOOO, I traded my Cari-Bow Silver Fox for this one. it is with Dave right now being refinished, although it does not look like it needed it.

Then this one was offered to me and I just could not pass it up. It is a special edition that Dave did a few years ago, this is the Cape Buffalo Edition. Looks new and is a beauty.

Now I will have three Schafers on the rack along with my 2 Brack Quests and 1 Talltines.

I am very blessed.

Steve,

Sorry, none of them are going anywhere anytime soon.LOL

The one with two sets of limbs, if I remember correctly, the prarie rattler ones make a 58" bow and the water moc ones make a 60" bow I think both sets are 55#@28" and FF, do not have the bow yet so cannot verify the poundage for sure, but that should be close.

The special edition is a 60" and 58#@28" all striped ebony and FF.

Warchild, "Love Potion #9" will never be for sale, it will probably be buried with me,LOL.

Nice bows Danny.  I believe Dave started offering that Cape Buffalo Edition in 1999 or 2000.  I wanted one bad but had just graduated college and the price tag was just too much for me.  If I remember right he was only offering like 20 of those. It also came with a bronze statue of a cape buffalo that Dave sculpted.

Yes, you have.

But you can redeem yourself by sending one of those bows to me.

Do not know about the bronze statue Matt, but it has bronze antler burrs with cape buffalos on them.

Danny you have seriously good taste in bows.  Having   something that looks this good and performs as only a tip can is what traditional archery is all about.

I agree that they are made to shoot and hunt with, but I don't know if I could take such a beautiful bow out where it would get scratched dinged etc.  Man those are beauties!

That Cape Buffalo Edition is absolutely Beautiful.  If #9 was at Denton Hill last July, I looked at it.  The grip was a tad bigger than I like.  I like a smaller grip like the one with 2 sets of limbs.

Use them like they are supposed to be used.  I could never understand why people don't use beautiful bows.  I use mine and have no scratches or dings on them.  What, do people walk thru the woods hitting their bows against rocks and stuff??  It's a mystery to me:)

Awesome pics Danny.  I will try to get an update from Beth tomorrow.
