Title: Schafer Addiction
Post by: Danny Rowan on April 27, 2013, 10:31:00 AM
Yep, I am addicted. Everytime I see one for sale I have to look,LOL. And everyonce in a while one catches my eye that I just cannot pass up.

This one came on the market and I could not resist.

This one arrived a week or so ago, traded a Dale Dye for it.

Of course I cannot forget my loved "Love Potion #9"

And then there is my late twin's longbow that was given to my by his widow Kimber.

Danny, I know where you're coming from. Just got my 66" 1pc LB from Dave a few weeks ago. To go with the 62" TD RC and 60" 1pc RC. Love his bows, tried to talk him into a longer 1pc RC, "not at this stage" that's better than a flat out no. I'll give him another call in a bit and see how I go
Enjoy the new ones.
Cheers Dan

the prettiest bow I ever owned was a Shafer...I just had faster ones for longer distance shooting flat trajectory and so I had to move it out of the stalls.....I still love to look at them!

I really like that Love Potion # 9 bow.That new bow is really nice too.
In fact I like them all. Dave builds very nice bows and has a great reputation for service and being great people.
God bless you all, Steve

Shawn my friend,

I know the bow your addicted to and Abe's bows are top notch, I have two of his longbows, a Silver Fox and an Slynx and have owned a couple of his Taiga recurves and Featherhorn longbows. One of the first custom bows I ever owned was one of his Featherhorns.
