Wanted one for a long time..........a Silvertip

ron w · July 22, 2011, 02:58:00 PM

so I sold my ACS a grabbed a Silvertip off the Classifieds. Most times they were to much money or way to heavy ,but this one was in the ball park for me. 60" 52# @ 29.5 with a checkered grip.Pics were on the classifieds, dark Bocote, non FF model! Well it got here today and all I can say is I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. I shot cedar, ash, alum., carbon and it does not care. Smooth and with a bit of tuning it will be almost silent. I have wanted one for over 20 years........and I am pleased!!

Ron,

Great score! Does this mean you are done buying other bows?

Ron,
Been down the same road you have. Just never took the plunge. When I lived in AL acouple of friends ordered bows from Dave and were totally satified. I shot their bows and really like the way they handled.

Congrats on the purchase.

Good for you. Are You going to take it out hunting this fall?

Ron, glad it worked out for you. Like I said, if you decide you don't want it, please let me have first crack at it because it is so difficult to find one in a lower draw weight.

Bring it to Denton Hill so I can try it out! I saw you were coming out on the motorcycle.

ron -
Good for you. I've never had the privilege of shooting a Silvertip. Hope to rectify that soon.
