I had one made by Paul that I sold when I went back to school in the late nineties (needed the money), it is the only bow I have sold that I regretted selling. The one I had was a 60" 65#@27", real smooth, no hand shock, and extremely fast. At the time I bought it in 1993 you could buy a used Schafer at any of the pawn or bow shops in Bozeman for less then $200, I paid $175 for mine and sold it for almost four times that amount in 1998. I own and have shot bows made by Dave and they shoot just as well, if not better, and the finish is definitely nicer on Dave’s bows. I have been holding out getting a new one until I can convince Dave to make me a two piece with the bow bolt or some other type of two piece takedown system.
