Why is the SHAFER spelled different ways? on each side of the bow.

That looks like a Schafer Silver Ghost which was a collaboration between Paul and Damon-Howatt Archery (the trad. line of Martin). Paul Brunner sold them through ECO Outdoors back in the '80s. If I remember right, Damon-Howatt laid them out and Paul put the finishing touches on them! They were decent bows for sure!! I think someone refinished that one and spelled Schafer wrong     :knothead:

Here's some pics of one...

I've never shot a Scafer, but like the look of the riser and grip!

Well time to go for the classifieds again  :D

I owned a Schafer Ghost and that looks exactly like one. They were a much cheaper version of the Tips. I sold the ghost and some time after the sale, the buyer informed me that the tips failed on it.

Thanks for all the input. I learned quite alot. It sounds like it may possibly be a re-finished
Silver Ghost. I have a few bows but this is my go to. Maybe a new Silvertip in the near future.
