Looking for your opinions on Schafer Silvertip draw length in relation to length of bow. Dave's website says  58" takedown foe 25 to 27.5--What's your experiences on the bow stacking after 27.5 or is it smooth out  to where? THANKS TG'rs  

I pull 28", but can draw my 58" Silvertip to my ear without a hint of stack...

I shoot a 58" Tip and my draw is 29". No stack.  I shoot three under which for me means less finger pinch.

Split finger I get finger pinch on anything less than 62".

I draw 29" and find the 62" Tip very comfy...but used to have a 60" that drew nice too.  Sorry, never shot a 58" Tip.

There has been a beautiful Charcoal 58 " "tip" with green camo limbs   :eek:  floating among some of us here... For me at my 28 1/2" draw it was OK. However, I got a chance at a 60'r and it's way nicer at my draw    ... Hince, the "floater going around".  I sure wish the one I have now had camo limbs like that beauty did... But Quilted Tamo ash is pretty to the eye also.

Gotta watch it though, drawing past the recommended length can void the warranty...meaning something bad can be going on at those distances.

I've only shot a 58" at 26" and that's what I have on order.

I would really like to shot one of this "tip" bows. After reading about the man behind the bow I think I want one more than black widow I am 5'10" 27 1/2" draw. I like  short recurves I shoot a 55# reflex nomad t/d so with this much info what kind of bow should I be looking into buying I also need the web site to look at these bows. Any info would be great  thank Mike

I have a 60" and a 64" they are both smooth as butta'!

I have a 60" one piece, and a 60" takedown Tip. At my drawlength 28" like Bjorn said they are "smooth as butta"!

I have a 60" takedown, 54# at 28". I draw it to 30" and can't tell a bit of differance. Like Bjorn says "smooth as butta"! Jason

Dave,
I also have this 56" 3pc Silvertip, it has the same length limbs as my 58" and both 60"ers I used to own. It is as smooth as either of them. The riser is 13" long... a fine treestand or blind recurve.

 
 

You might call Beth at Schafer.  When I called to ask about a "test drive" bow she sent me one of Dave's personal Lefties to shoot for a few days. It convinced me to order a bow. Of course I don't know if they have a RH to try or even if this lefty is available for try.

Ah Froggy...there's those cool 56" Silvertips again!  I think you posted pics of one of these a few months ago (around August). I talked to Beth quite a bit about making mine a 56" instead of 58" for me. I decided upon 58" though. I'm going to shoot from an elevated rest and I fear the shorter sight window might make me a bit claustophobic?

I love the idea to own a Tip in 56".I think they can still build some.

You just had to post pics of that 56"er again didn't you Froggy!  

Yup--Froggy likes to dangle those carrots  

I have been shooting a 58" silvertip since 1984 and it is totally smooth at my 29" draw.  

Kevin,
No carrots at my homestead... don't like em   :D  

Froggy

For me it's 62" for 29" draw...

I have a 60"tip and can draw to the front of my ear with no stack...that is about 31".

I don't know what Dave does to those bows but they are some of the smoothest bows I've shot.
