Silvertips?

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Hi Craig;
        I believe Dave is shooting swaged 2018 Aluminums with 4 Blade zwickey eskimo's and 4' shield cut vanes.

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Michael; Great looking Silvertip!! Very nice skin job,too scared to attempt it myself yet! See you also shoot 3 fingers under, elevated rest and Snuffers  . Great Combo.

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Craig; Any luck selling your adcock ?? I,m working on the Pics. Back at ya soon.

[Tyler Carlson]

Craig; the shield cut vanes Dave uses are Marco vanes, in case you were wondering.

Sergio; If I can do it anyone can. I promise  

[Arrow4Christ]

Sergio, it's on eBay now and I have an offer on it if it doesn't sell there, so I'm set up  :D  bow's already ordered.

[Arrow4Christ]

Sergio, what are your opinions on the 4-fletch? I've heard that it would slow the arrow down considerably, and that worries me a little. I was thinking of doing it with 4-4" shield cut vanes in a 60-120 pattern.

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Craig;
     4-4in. vanes at 60-120 will work just fine. For years i fletched with 4-51/2 in. banana fletch installed at 60-120 with such a tight helical that they almost wrapped around the shaft on 2216's, i had to file my jo jan fletcher with a lrge ratail file to get the extra helical. I used to practice out to 80yds and had no problems with arrow speed! Now that i'm older and need glasses i only practice out to 60yd.

Sergio, do the shield cuts make extra noise? I talked with my father some and he thinks they'd be noisier than parabolics  :(

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Craig;
     Absolutely NO NOISE at all In any Shape!! I've shortened them in, parabolic,banana and shield ,no sound from any cut! I just like the look of shield cut and I think they steer a little better.Pics soon.

[Arrow4Christ]

I made a 3-fletched shield cut Axis arrow with vanes. I need to finish it up then tip it with a Snuffer then I'll post pics  :D

A question for the guys with multiple Silvertips. Are the limbs tillered different for shooting off the shelf vs an elevated rest?

[Carcajou]

Bishop~

In response...Yep.

[Bishop]

It looks like the rain vanes for me if I want to try vanes!

[Arrow4Christ]

Mike, did you get those stock limbs I told you about?

[Bishop]

Mike I use a Delta when I use a bow quiver. It's the Fred Bear quiver that most vendors sell. It has large thumb screws and I take it off on the stand. The only time I use a bow quiver is when I'm packing a stand the rest of time its a home made GFA type. For me if I have to shoot with a quiver on the Delta has been quiter than the Kwikee.

[Bishop]

That Delta is dang near as slick! Part of the fun of ordering a Silvertip is the 10 month wait!
Boy am I getting full of it!

[SERGIO VENNERI]

Hi Mike; I guess you didn't get my response to your email. sorry having computer problems off and on, am in the process of deciding on Apple or pc for a new laptop!?
      I use a kwikee quiver on most of my Silvertips and LOVE it!! I also take my quver off while on stand.As for the tiller difference shooting off the shelf or elevated rest, I personally think there is no difference because the most you could probably move it is about 1/4 inch and that amount has never made any difference with me.I Shoot a damascus Glove and triple serve my string for finger comfort.I should mention that for my 58" one piece 'Tip ,that I have never shot, i have a bear spring arm leathertop 4 arrow quiver for it.

[mighty mouse]

mike, i use the kwikee kwiver on my silvertip recurve. i like to take the quiver off too and thats the best one for me. on my tip LB i use the thunderhorn boa and keep it on all the time.

[Lee Viv]

I too use the quikee quiver.  I ahd Dave tap my silvertip for it!
