My 3 Marriah Thermal recurves, and I am currently breaking in a Schafer Sivertip.  How will I decide?

Schafer

My name is Schafer. I was named after Paul Schafer and my go to bow is a Schafer Silvertip Recurve. My dad had it built in '99(I was 5) and he had Dave write Hand Me Down on the riser because he intended to give me the bow. I got the bow for Christmas of 2010. Since then It has been my go-to bow. Granted it took me about a month or two to build the strength to shoot it due to it being 66@29. At this time I can't think of a bow that shoots smoother or more accurate for me. So my Schafer Silvertip Recurve is without a doubt my go to bow.

Schafer, nice story.  What a great thing for your dad to do.

My original Schafer Silvertip 71@28. I shoot this bow everyday and can't get enough. Grip fits just right, smooth, fast, forgiving, and the list goes on. I don't have any desire to buy another bow until I can't pull this one back to anchor.

Danny!     :help:  They are even the right weight for me! In all seriousness though, that #9 is still the most beautiful bow I have ever seen.
