Tim: I'll say it... I'm jealous! (gorgeous bows)
How consistent do those two bows shoot?
Are the poundages the same?

Good looking bow but I will never be able to shoot it backwards like that! Mike that is a sweet to, how did you like lonewolf stand?

[Mike Burch]

Tim Golder, sweet looking bows you got.

Bishop, thanks again for the lonewolf stand. As my luck goes, 2 days before I got it, I blew out my left knee at work and I had to have surgery on my MCL and LCL in that knee, so I didn't get a chance to try it out. I'll give the lonewolf stand a good workout this year here in the Piney Woods of East Texas.

Thanks for the compliments on my bows!  Yes Rich, both bows are within a pound of each other. 55 and 56 @ my 27 inch draw.

Like many of you I've had a slew of bows but in the past two years the only bow I've shot was my Schafer. So much that I have a brand new 3 piece longbow that I received in August that has never been given a fair chance.  

The grip of the Schafer is extremely consistent and both of these bows (ff models) are very quiet and quick. There are so many great bows out there, I just like the look and feel of Dave's bows...always have.

For years I fought the off the shelf or elevated rest battle, I just didn't like the look of a rest. I still don't care for the look but they are sooooo forgiving and you will shoot better.  I've had rests on both my bows for the past two months and their going to stay! The one thing I do like is that I can fletch up my Heritage 150's with 3 vanes and they fly identical to my feathers. That is huge plus if I go away on a hunt. I hate worrying about my feathers getting wet.  I've tried all of the feather protectors and they do work but you still have to be careful not to lay your bow down on the feathers and heavy rain will eventually take it's toll on even the best silicone treatments. 95% of the time I stick with feathers but the option of vanes is there and it's nice.

Thanks, Tim, they are both beautiful.
Between the vanes, and the arrow rest, I think Paul Schafer would be pleased!

tim glad you said that about the elevated rest.i just put one on to test before i give my final order to beth.man i was surprised i thought it might be just me having a good couple of days.bob palmer who told me how to set up my bow with the rest said it would make a difference.bottom line the tip will have elevated rest.

Hey Keith.......I think Bob's been shooting a Schafer longer than anyone I know, it's got to be close to 20 years and I've never seen him with another brand bow!

Both of my bows are tillered to be shot off the shelf and both tuned great once I put the rest on, so I'm not sure how critical it is to have Dave build the bow with the idea that a rest will be used. Just a thought.......I also told Beth I'm not sure whether I'll use a rest or not.
