? for you Silvertip Owners

[maxwell]

I have owned an awful lot of schafers over the last 20+ years and I agree with Tim 60" will feel just a little smoother. I have three now 2 are 60" and one is 58"  and almost always I shoot the 60".  You can't go wrong with a Schafer.

Good luck,

Thanks for the responses.  Don't see many 60"ers for sale (compaired to the 58".  Mostly stand use for whitetails, so the shorter seems to be better.  Don't think the site window will make much difference coming from a 12" riser Fedora.

Thanks Again, and great to know such a wealth of knowledge is available here!!!

Now to find that "perfect Tip"

Ditto what Warden609 said.  I bought a 60" and draw 28" on a good day.

As been said , the sight window on a 60 is a little longer and I like it better than a 58.

For tree stand a 60 is great. I could see a 58 for a ground blind.

LOVE the looks of the 60.JMHO

I would go with the 60" one. It has a longer sight window,is a little smoother, and the one inch longer on each end should not be a problem. Bob

Never had the 60" bow. But got my 58" bow in and i pull 28 1/2 and have no problem with it. Very smoooooth pulling bows ,you will like!!

Terry,

I agree with a lot of what is being said here.  You won't find your answer written in these responses.  You'll have to decide for yourself by getting your hands on 58" and 60" bow.  Even then, you'll still be uncertain.  Both have their advantages.  You'll eventually own one of each anyway, so don’t sweat it   .  This is the one of those things you’ll debate for as long as you shoot a bow. I have a 60" & 62" Tip.  I draw a recurve 29" and shoot both lengths well, but with my big hands and wide fingers, will always side with the longer bow for real  shooting comfort.  58" will work just fine for your 28” draw, then you'll shoot a 60" bow and say, "wow, that’s much easier and more pleasant to shoot"!  I have also shot the 58” Silvertips and love them, they are sweet!  There are so many variables though, you have to compare apples to apples. Draw weight has a lot to do with it as well.  The heavier the draw, the more you’ll appreciate a longer bow.  Short “heavy” bows can be miserable to shoot.  Longer bows shoot nicer for all day events, stump shooting, etc.  Longer bows hold a little more stable, hence tend to be more accurate for the shooter (not always).  Having said all this, I preferred my 60” Tip over my 62” Tip this past fall.  Short bows definitely carry nice and are a dream in tree stands and ground blinds.  You want the 58”, that’s what you should get…we’re splitting hairs here anyway, either length would be appropriate for you!   Call if you would like to talk more about it  (608) 798-1103.

Good luck,

Kris
