Bowdoc:I was shooting that old personal bow of Paul Schafer's that I "inherited" after his death. I've left it exactly as it was in it's beat-up condition so as to retain all the character developed through the high mileage over the years. It's a 60 inch T/D, built by Paul for himself and his friends as a back-up bow on any hunts. It's marked at 70 lbs. at 28" but most who shoot it think it's likely a little more than seventy. I was shooting Cabela's SST carbon shafts and field-testing the new Woodsman Elite 150 gr. screw-in one piece broadhead on this trip. BW

I was shooting a McCullough Griffin 58" 53#@28 all black glass, 28 1/2 inch Beman ICS Hunter carbons arrows painted all white, and a 250 grain Team Tippit forged two blade broadhead that just slips into a Beman shaft.  

As a side note:

I have a short 56" all black bow bolt Griffin called the "Gnat"

Now I have a 58" all black Griffin called "Mr Big"  :)   Doc
