I have had a few silvertips over the years both Pauls and Daves, they are just great bows for hunting seem to always fit your hand perfectly and shoot where your looking.

I've been through a vast bunch of bows,and I am a Silvertip fanatic.Tons of great bows out there, but I have always been drawn to my Schafers. I love the history behind them, and the modern day team that builds them are the most down to earth and friendly people you'll ever meet. I sat on a select piece of exotic wood for over 8 years, waiting to be built into my personal bow of all bows. The decision came pretty easily, it turned into one hell of a Silvertip.

I own a couple of Silvertip recurves built by Dave and to me they are awesome in both workmanship and performance. One is a 60 inch in the other is 62. More than that though, both Dave and Beth are a pleasure to deal with. A couple of summers ago I had a chance to stop by their place as part of a trip. It was neat to see where my bows were built and chat with the guy who did it. I was even more impressed with the work that he does given the fairly simple setup he has. He is a true craftsman (as are many other top bowyers!!). While we were chatting Dave showed me how confident you can be in a Silvertip limb. This one had a flaw in it and had been hanging on the wall. Sorry for the blurry pic but you get the idea. I hope to stop by again sometime. Very nice people and a nice part of the world too.....Rick.

I've got one 'Tip I bought used several years ago, and along the way I bought another set of limbs.
But the other day when I was out at Dave's, those two bows of Felix's made me drop 200 bucks on wood for my next one. Except mine will have Macassar in the middle and B&W ebony in the swells. I'll order it with Macassar veneers and probably 50 Lbs. The hunting limbs will be 57# and backed with some kind of snakeskins.
IMO, there is not a better hunting recurve than a Silvertip. They're a great blend of speed, smoothness, ergonomics, and they're dead sexy.
