Silvertip Setup

[A.S.]

I just ordered a new Silvertip about a month ago. I got impatient a bought a used one from a fellow Tradganger this week. What brace height do you ST fanatics find works best?

Right now, this bow has a Bear Weather Rest on it. I've never shot a raised rest, but thought I'd give it a try. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. This one will keep me busy until my new one gets made! What a sweet bow.

My brace height is from 7 1/4 -7 1/2.  I also shoot an elevated rest.  The bows that Dave makes to shoot off a rest come with the Bear rest.  I have 2 silvertip takedowns; one that Paul made for me, and one that Dave has made for me.  Both brace heights are about the same.

I have an older one made by Paul. I was told by the previous owner to start at 8". I found it likes about 8 1/8 to the deepest part of the grip. I'm not sure where others measure to. It had a rest on it when I got it and shot well with it, but I took it off just "because" and it shoots great off the shelf too. I don't think you'll be disappointed in your tip.

Mine is 7 3/4", measured to the inside of the string. I shoot it off the shelf.

I've Been Shooting 'tips since 1982. best brace heights for me have been 73/4 " for dacron and 71/4" for FF ! Quiet and stable. Good luck and have some fun, they are great shooters!

Gee... I need to sign up for that bow of the month club...  :D   Allen that's one beautiful bow.  See ya in a couple of weeks.  Jeff

Dave made mine for me in 1998.  My brace height has always been 8 1/8". Thats with a Dacron B-50 string. Measured to the deepest point of the handle.

Ok another question. What is the correct string length for a 60" Tip? This used one needs a new string.

Jeff, I got her dialed in pretty good today---look out ATAR!!!

[Tim Schoenborn]

56" String

I find the brace height on all my FF 60" tips to be perfect at right around 7 1/4 to 7 1/2...........

Super quiet and super fast

Thanks Tim, I finally got the Paul Schafer Tip sent off, hope he likes it.

 If anyone has limb pics, I would appreciate them also. Still a little undecided on the ones for my new Tip.

check with beth to see if they have any limbs already made that you could live with. cut my order time down to 4 months wich is a lot better then 10 when your like a little kid waiting for your new toy. should see mine the end of this month cant wait

I was told by Beth that a 60" tip takes a 55" string and that is what mine uses.

Guys, I just called Beth to make sure. She said the Dacron 60" takes a 55" and the FF 60" takes a 56".

Hey Bill M, what kinda woods are you getting in your new Tip???
