Title: Another Killer Silvertip from Dave Windauer,, shooting session review on Page 6
Post by: Danny Rowan on August 14, 2014, 01:49:00 PM
Got an email from Beth that Dave has finished my new Tip and it is in the mail to me.Wahoo! 56",macasser riser with koa flare, koa limb vaneers, sheep horn tips and sheep horn on the riser, plus a neat compass inbedded in the riser courtesy of my good friend Keith Zimmerman. This thing turned out awesome.

Gonna call her "Koa-dacious"

Thanks everyone, I chose all the woods for this bow, Beth had the macassar in stock as well as the koa for the vaneers and I had the koa for the riser sent to her. I cannot wait for it to get here, my buddy Keith kept raving about his 56" Tip so I had this one made as a 56". Going to Texas with me in November.

Post by: PaulDeadringer29 on August 14, 2014, 04:26:00 PM
Nice looking bow. What is your draw length? What is the riser length on this Tip? You don't see many 56" Tips, is Dave using a shorter riser or shorter limbs. Congrats, it really is nice.

I hope u love that 56".....I love mine.  And EVERBODY who has held it and shot it love it.  My buddy who hunts KS with me shot it and ordered a 56".  And I draw 29.5".

Enjoy the spotlight now because my decked out Tip will be here next week:)  Ha!  Just got a PM saying it was in the mail UPS.

That compass will help u find me next yr for our hunt in KS.

You have the nicest bows, Danny. And that's another one!
Very nice, I love the 56" part.
Title: Re: Another Killer Silvertip from Dave Windauer,, shooting session review on Page 6
Post by: Danny Rowan on August 14, 2014, 06:46:00 PM
Paul,

If I remember correctly Dave takes 1" off the 58" riser and 1" off the limbs to get a 56" so I guess this riser is 14"

Keith you dog, LOL, I have seen the pictures you sent me and I am jealous, LOL.
Title: Re: Another Killer Silvertip from Dave Windauer,, shooting session review on Page 6
Post by: Keith Zimmerman on August 14, 2014, 06:55:00 PM
Yep.  14" riser.  I think there are maybe 3 or 4 in the US.  Soon to be more.  Our next bows will be the firsts by Dave ever.  Only 10 more months for them.  Those will be our LAST ones.  Even Felix agreed.

And Mr.Rowan hits another home run!  Everytime the question of best eye candy comes up I immediately think of your silvertip known as "love potion #9".  I haven't entirely reconciled yet that one man should have so many gorgeous works of art exclusively to him.

Of course, sitting here waiting on delivery of my own custom bow doesn't exactly help the situation.

OH MY GOD!!!!

I put it together today and the pictures do not do this bow justice. and WOW, so smooth, I did not think a bow this short could be so smooth to my 29" draw with no pinch that I can tell. Only able to draw right now, cannot shoot cause it is raining, but I am impressed so far. To say I am happy is an understatement.

Finally got to get aquainted with her.

This bow is AMAZING! Put on a LeftysRus B55 string. Got the brace and nock point correct and went to shooting.

First 4 arrows out of the bow were dead center in the target!

This little bow is dead in the hand and quiet as a mouse, and SO smooth out to my 29" draw, I still cannot believe how smooth it is for a 56" bow, it feels like butter coming back. And the arrow hits with authority.

I could not put her down. Shot for over an hour even though I had just worked the mid night shift at work and was kinda tired.

Dave knew what he was doing when he designed this little gem.

The Tip Master Keith Zimmerman was correct in saying I would love this bow.
