I have 2 Blacktails but I don't have a Schafer,so that would be my pick!    

64 inch Schafer longbow

DDave

Hard choice I'd feel pretty thankful to own any of them.... Fine bows by fine bowyers but would say if I had my choice of the four it would be a Schaefer silver tip with zebrawood and ???? I'm wondering what a zebrawood and verawood riser would look like  

Well that is a great 4 to choose from.  Lucky to say I have one of them already.

I am dreaming of a Blacktail Snakebit and Silvertip!

Can you beat an combo of cocobolo, ebony, marblewood, bubinga, rosewood, koa, leopard wood, curly anagri, mango or kerilian birch burl?

Silver tip with dymondwood rosewood riser with grey, black, maple accent strip with crazy, multi-colored, highly figured mango limbs and grey sheep horn tips, checkered grip,FF, 62".

About to turn that dream into a reality hopefully!

One way to find out !   :D

Long time lurker, think this is my first post..

Wes Wallace Royal, cocobolo riser, osage accent stripe, yew limbs. Righty, one piece, on my "one a these days.." list.

Wes Wallace Mentor
riser: Cocobolo or Bolivian Rosewood
limbs: Bamboo core and Yew veneers with antler tips

Have had all of them and the Silvertip w/ the original riser is my favorite.

All are great bows but if you go with a Brack, which I love by the way, be prepared for a long wait, it will be well over 2 years. For me it would be another Schafer.

Black Widow

This bow has a great story behind it. I almost went home with it one year. I wish i did. I would love to have this bow built again in a 3 pc TD longbow by Schafer and some day i might have it done!

bocote 60" FF Schafer with checkering and engraved.  woodland camo limbs around 50#

I'm currently shooting my third Brackenbury, my dream bow. It is a Quest made to look like the old Gray Shadow w/purple heart accents. It's a joy to shoot.

I missed a groundhog with it today, my fault, not the bow.

If I had a TON of money, I would have them ALL, Plus a few more Widows and a couple Robertson's.  

65# Jack Howard Gamemaster Jet 66".........Might have Wes build me a 66" green one piece stealth....... not interested in the rest................

62" all coco or macassar 3 piece Mentor. Never owned a ST but have shot several. Owned BTs and Bracks but for me the Mentor was it. Got stupid though and no longer have the two I did own-so much for the quest for the perfect bow.

Schafer, fully loaded.  B&W ebony mix or Bastogne walnut and Koa or myrtle mix.  Sheep horn icing.  Yum, LOL

Schafer one piece, bubinga riser, yew lams.

I think these are some of the prettiest bows I've ever seen and the quality of crafsmanship is phenominal:

I wouldn't take it hunting, but it would be cool to have for just shooting around the house and at 3D matches.

Garrett,
I agree, but I'd be afraid to even touch one that gorgeous.  I'm guessing it's one of those that falls in the category of "if you have to ask how much it is, you probably can't afford it", lol!
