Title: The Life and Adventures of Paul Schafer, Master Bow Hunter and Bowyer
Post by: Terry Green on March 05, 2021, 11:04:34 AM: The highly anticipated book.... Silvertip: The Life and Adventures of Paul Schafer, Master Bow Hunter and Bowyer written by Robert Windauer is now available for purchase from the link below.

I am posting this for those that missed it when it was released. And for the hundreds that have registered since. This is a must read for any Trad Bowhunter, or any bowhunter for that matter. I know Paul made many switch to Trad during his journeys.

If you are new to Trad Bowhunting, this book will rev you up! If you are an established Trad Bowhunter, you will have a deeper appreciation of that our lifestyle is about.

Post by: FITTER on March 05, 2021, 08:37:13 PM: No you can’t!!! Funny thing.... I read incredibly fast. When I got the book I limited myself to so many pages a night. Kept to it. Once finished I read it cover to cover again the following day. :goldtooth:

Post by: FITTER on March 05, 2021, 10:32:07 PM: I’m much the same way.... but I enjoyed it that much. He was king of the mountain when I was a teenager ( a long time ago lol) and heard about his hunts and adventures. Now that I’m 51 I thought well this book may just undo what I thought when I was a kid. Nope..... he was a neat guy who was a master hunter.... and beyond that just a good person!!!

Post by: rastaman on March 09, 2021, 09:43:06 AM: I had the pleasure of at least speaking to him on the phone a few times when i ordered my first custom bow. He had his tragic accident shortly after i received the bow. I had been a casual Traditional bowhunter before that. He along with the Wensel brothers really helped to ignite my passion for bowhunting.

Post by: elkhunter45 on March 20, 2021, 05:00:08 PM: Paul was a great influence on me even though I never met him. I read an article decades ago about how he trimmed the lower 1/3 off a Bear Weather Rest to get it lower to the hand. He liked the rest because he shot vanes out of his Silvertip. This was because he wanted water proof fletching on his arrows. I have shot the Bear Weather Rest on my recurve specifically because of him. I have often looked down at the bow/rest combo in my hand and thought of him.
