Ray Hammond,
I am the proud owner of that Silvertip now. I bought from KnifeRiver over a year ago. I've since added a set of 78# limbs and absolutely adore that bow.

Sergio~

Great analysis! You are blessed to have been able to share some laughs and shooting with The World's Greatest Bowhunter!

Ray! look at the biceps on him

heavy bows were his specialty..look at the loose grip on that bow too, if that aint perfect form, I dont know what is!

Mike that is one Sexy Beast! I wanted an exotic riser and the FF option but they won't put a warranty on a FF exotic, so I went rosewood diamondwood on the FF bow. I need to get my riser checkered!

Tim:
You are right. It is special to know that Paul crafted the bow and that Bart hunted with it. I would like to use the original limbs but one has a slight twist. Not that I could draw them anyway, as they are to be in the 90 lb range. It will be neat to hunt with it some day.

Anybody writes "Schafer" or "Silvertip", I start drooling.
What a great thread this is.

I have a 25th wedding anniversary coming up, and have been dropping hints about a "silvertip"..

Let's keep this thread going. any more photos of Paul?

Rich LaBombard · « **Reply #126 on:** January 11, 2007, 10:11:00 AM »

And to Sergio, thank you for posting that description of shooting with Paul. amazing.

I'll try and scan some pics of Paul over the next couple of days when he was very young and post them for tradgangers to view.

Very nice bows. I sold mine as I prefer my Marriah Thermal and Habu, but the Silvertips are great.

1/4 away, thanks for the photos, beautiful example of a dressed up silvertip, keep them coming.gonna have to apply some snake skin to my bow, looks great.

Bob Palmer · « **Reply #133 on:** January 11, 2007, 06:17:00 PM »

1/4 away, Georgeous bow!!! Love that Charcoal riser!!

Here's most of my Sivertips...I love them all but my favorite is the original Paul made me back in '89 (3rd bow from the right). It's quite a shooter! I have a 58" one-piece that is not shown....a truly worthy weapon for those that have not shot one!!! Light weight mass but a real heavy hitter! Ckeckered grips are a must!!!

SilverTip · « **Reply #134 on:** January 11, 2007, 06:24:00 PM »

purdy good bows, be sure to get the dymondwood riser if ya go with the silvertip. its a really stable shooting bow. i own 6 of them. 3 by Paul and 3 by Dave. they just kept getting better as i ordered them.

Bob, Thanks. It was after seeing your bow with the charcoal riser that I bought mine. The snakeskin limbs that are on it make a 60" bow. I also have the original limbs that make a 58" bow. They are yew with antler nocks. Awesome bows to say the least!! Fred

Heres my new to me, freshly skinned Tip.

I did it myself following the skin along in the how to section.

sunny hill archer · « **Reply #137 on:** January 11, 2007, 07:35:00 PM »

I knew I'd screw up. The riser pics are upside down. Oh well.

Arrow4Christ · « **Reply #138 on:** January 11, 2007, 08:33:00 PM »

Wow, I posted this thread expecting to get 6 or 7 responses!!! lol any doubt I had about ordering one has been ERASED! LOL Sergio, out of pure curiosity, do you know what arrows and broadheads Dave Windauer is shooting? Snuffers maybe :D

Tyler Carlson · « **Reply #139 on:** January 11, 2007, 08:49:00 PM »

Dave shoots the wood grain looking Easton aluminums and Zwickey broadheads as far as I know.
