Finally got some pics of my new/first bow
« on: October 31, 2008, 02:41:00 PM »
Took me a while to get around to it but here they are.  It's a 54" Schafer Silvertip.  I traded a kimber 1911 for it.  I'd imagine I could have sold the gun for around $750.00 but I think I got a better deal trading for the bow.  I added the quiver (a cabelas buy) and some beaver balls to it.  I think it looks pretty sharp.

Yeah, I think they're elk.  He (Dave Windauer) has elk horn limb bolts available as well.  They're probably pretty expensive but I bet they look nice.

Is that 54" long, or 54 pounds? Just curious. I didn't know Dave offered anything shorter than 58" long....I think you made a good trade, especially if you're happy with it.

I measured it at 54" when strung tip to tip.  It's 57# at 28 1/4".  My draw is 25" so it is a little lighter than 57# for me.

Yeah, you're probably right on the 58"  I didn't know to follow the contour of the limbs when measuring.
