What makes a Silvertip do what it does?

My son and I have a slight affliction towards them!

I am with Dave Pagel on this,plus the limbs design makes for a very smooth and progressive draw

I agree! Not sure why, but I agree.....I think?

And one more photo of my sons classic camo limbed tip!

Maybe its because they are the legacy of one of the greatest Bow hunters in the world. Dave has surely done Paul Schafer proud!

I got away for awhile to longbows and have found my way back to silvertips. I have had a ton of bows and I keep coming back to tips. They just shoot good for me and I ain't leaving this time :rolleyes:

Thats a nice PA buck. Pretty bows too. Grew up in Union county a few centuries ago.

I agree with Dave Pagel too.

Rick Welch built me one of his Dakota Pro Hunters.

It's got a great grip (with finger grooves like the Zipper) and it has center riser mass weight.

It is my most accurate bow.

Recently I was offered full price for it.

I don't think I can part with it.

Nothing is quite like a silvertip.
I personally feel they are the best hunting bows on earth.

They are magical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MISSINGINOHIO · April 19, 2014, 09:09:00 PM

Only bows on my rack now they have something about them .

Damn corrector! God Bless.

Having owned in excess of 300 bows in my lifetime, by every top end bowyer out there, all I can say is there are 4 bows on my rack right now, one original one piece TIP built by Paul and 3 custom 3 piece T/D TIPS built by Dave and I have a new one on order. They just do it for me.

overbo · April 20, 2014, 07:04:00 AM

An excess of 300 Danny. Come on, that sounds a bit conservative!

It still isn't for sale.

I owned quite a few and was struggling with TP at the time. Blamed bow and sold some beauties!!!! Luckily I keep a BW ebony 3pc Lb. I will have another curve someday.

Danny Rowan · April 21, 2014, 03:01:00 AM

LOL, Steve, yeah but everytime I try to remember them all I get a headache. LOL.

I won't go into details and brag on myself but I recently shot a bow belonging to Kat and the results gave me a silly looking grin that comes from a holy crap moment. Kinda like this.

What do you think the special sauce is that makes them what they are?

That explains it. Kat's bow just knows what to do like a well trained horse or dog. It is a beauty.

Attention to detail, good design and good materials.

But secretly he likes longbows. Just don't let that word get out.

Yes sir, Ken loves them Hills. I think it must be the grip
