Thanks Lin it was great to see ya at Blade

Thanks everyone for the kind comments

Does anyone know do Schafers like a stiff arrow

[Warchild]

Yes they do. I shoot a 56# Tip and it shoots 60-65's like darts. I have owned 4 Schafers and they all have taken one 5# increment in spine higher than the weight of the bow. By the way, I can't tell you how jealous of those camo limbs I am!

[bowtough]

I want one!

[Ulysseys]

Those camo limbs are insane - I can't wait until its on the classifieds    

[Blueridge]

Great looking bow , love that old style camo!!

[Margly]

Congrats:)
The Schafer bows are awesome!

[BWD]

Real nice...looks like a fine looking lady without a lot of make-up on. You did well.

[maxwell]

Great bows, you'll love it.

Well it came today

I threw a string on and grabbed my Fedora 560's arrows which I alwats keep a bare fletch one around and this was the first group 15 yds not tuned right out of the box

   


First thing I noticed is how well made this bow is

Beautiful checkering rather heavy in the hand compared to my one piece's but real smooth and stable for a 58 incher

Was very pleased it liked my other hunting bows arrows and on the chrono was spitting 185 FPS

Added a quiver some limb savers, fur silencers and limb tip hair and took off the rug rest and put on a nice piece of seal skin and this dogs ready to hunt

Real happy thanks Dave and Beth

Thank you all for looking and your kind words

Another beautiful Silvertip!    

Congrats!!

[JParanee]

Took a break and finished up with this as my last 3 shots at 15 yds

 

It is a wonderful thing when both bows you plan to hunt with will tune to the same arrow

My 560 which shoots 195 fps with this arrow is 10 fps faster than the Silvertip which I could care less about but my point is different bows feel different but like the same arrow always amazes me and never happens for me and I am always making arrows for a new bow

They are about the same weight with in a pound or so

I have a Buffalo that might get put into the rotation but 3 bows are alot to hunt with for me t least and as much as I like the Hoyt I cant get awat from the wood

So I do believe due to its weight the Fedora will get used for pushes and drive and general stalking and the Silvertip will go to the trees and blinds but who knows the silvertip might get run pretty hard this year    

The Fedora

The best part is shooting that beauty.  Hunting with one is just fun!
