The medium checkered grip of the one piece Silvertip does it for me every time!
Besides, Beth and Dave are both great people to deal with!

I'm returning the loaner lefty tomorrow to Beth and Dave at Schafer. It did it's job. I'm convinced to buy a Schafer Silvertip.  A couple of fine folks have contacted me!  I'm going to wait a couple more days this week to see what happnes in the "new to me" world before deciding whether to order a new one now or buy the used now and inevitably order a new one later.

The loaner has an arrow rest instead of shelf carpet. I shot it from the rest. Of course with the same "Eye" it groups quite high but the important thing is I can shoot nice groups with it. I took it to the 3-D range this afternoon. I have to remember to "look" a bit lower than when shooting from the shelf. When I remember I got a nice "kill" and windage was rarely an issue. Three times (out of 22) I forgot and looked at the target the same as when shooting my shelf bows -- I spent somme time behind the target on those shots!

I've learned a lot about what's possible with these bows this week.  I only wish I had known about these bows (and others) sooner.  I probably wouldn't have bought a bow or two that I currently own.

This experience also has me wondering about arrow rest vs. shelf.

Good luck, new or used you can't go wrong with a Schafer!

Bowwild,   shooting off a rest is how Paul Schafer shot.  He said it allowed him to shoot 4 fletch vanes and in any kind of weather.

Yes. They are that good.

nuff said.
