Post by: Michael K Miller on January 27, 2012, 08:17:00 PM
Got the news from Beth today that my bow was complete and getting put in the mail.   Been waiting since April, she emailed me a few pics of it but I don't know how to post them.  It should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday, can't wait!!!

Congratulations! There's nothing quite like having a new bow on the way and I can't think of a bow more worthy of the excitement than a Silvertip!    :thumbsup:

wow thats a cool checkering job,,,,, wounder if he could go around your initials the same way he did the shed.

Post by: Michael K Miller on January 28, 2012, 02:43:00 PM
Thanks everyone...The bow is 62" 66#@28, also has the antler base limb bolts. Dave and Beth were very nice people to work with, and very professional at what they do. I can't wait to get my hands on it.  Just have to figure out what arrows to go with now...I'm really leaning towards some woody's just for the "traditional" aspect of it.  I will bring it over to Mike Harbison next week and we will figure out what flys best out of her.


Thanks Mike for postingthe pictures for me

I'm betting that those veneers came out of the same piece of shedua that mine did  ;)

My riser is charcoal too.  Next set of limbs you get, get them backed with rattlesnake, it looks sweet on a black/gray riser.

Those are zebrawood veneers I believe...great looking bow!
Title: Re: New Silvertip in the mail (pics added)
Post by: Michael K Miller on January 28, 2012, 08:50:00 PM
Yes they are zebra wood veneers and the riser is charcoal stained dymondwood.

Post by: grizzlyxx on January 28, 2012, 10:02:00 PM
Very nice Bow!  I got the itch real bad for one of those silvertips.  If you want to shoot wood you can't go wrong with set of Mike Harbison arrows.  Works of art that happen to shoot good to!

Beautiful Bow ! If you decide to alum, I have a bow with the same weight at 29 in. Try 2219's with a 175 grain head, flys great, weights in around 620 grains.
