John,I bought last year a pair of Silvertips,they are very good hunting bow:great grip,balanced handle,accurate,forgiving,quiet and pretty fast.You'll see a lot of Tips fans up here.

I own two-and-a-half! Great bows! Just do a search in PowWow for "Silvertip" and another for "Schafer" and you'll get heaps of pictures and recommendations.

Love mine, well, Loved it, my oldest son seems to have high jacked it.

I especially love the checkered grip. Feels great in the hand.

Just picked one up from a fellow memeber, I can't seem to put it down, It shoots as good as it looks. After reading about Paul Schafer in the history forum, having a bow affiliated with him seems to add something special. Also, even though I bought the bow used, Beth and Dave answered any question that I had and sent me an instruction booklet as if I had just recieved the bow from them. Very nice people, I gave them the serial number and they told me everything about the bow. Can't go wrong with a Silvertip.

Been shooting 'Tips since 1982.

I shoot one and love it! They are super smooth, fast, and quiet. Awesome hunting bow. A one piece is on my list.

I love mine. The tightest groups I've ever shot are with my Silvertip.

Hard to beat a Silvertip. Very smooth and stable bow that will shoot with the best. Mine is all bocate and looks as good as it shoots. I strongly recommend a Silvertip.
