Silvertip Longbow 3 piece take down

Any thoughts on this bow, I am considering ordering one. I had a 60" 3pc t/d Longbow Tip but it was a bit squirrely for me at times. Anyone have a 62" they would care to comment on? Thanks

I ordered a 60" 53# at 28". I'd be curious also.

Hey Kevin, I just got a 64" a couple of weeks ago. The bow came out 53@28. My draw length 29". I got a checkered grip which I think really sets my bow hand for the shot. She's a very consistent bow. As with most of my bows, she's more accurate than me. All of my buddies that have shot her think she is very well behaved and wouldn't mind owning her. Not a chance... She's a keeper. Hope this helps. Here's a pic.

Hi Kevin,I just luv that 60" longbow I got from you,it's quickly becoming my favorite,the only thing I can't understand is why I have to shoot a heavier spine woodie with a broadhead than I do with same grain field tip,none of my other bows are like that.I'm really kickin around buying a heavier set of limbs for it.I only draw around 26" and it fits me perfect,It shoots great for me all the time,I wouldn't think twice about ordering another one.

wvtradbow may have provided the answer. He draws 26 inches and the 60-inch longbow works well for him. If you're drawing 28 inches or more, IMO a 60-inch longbow is too short, unless it has an extremely reflexed riser like a Shrew, for example. I've found 64-inch td longbows to be the best for my 28-inch draw. Good luck.

Orion,I think you're right,but,all my friends that shot this bow didn't have trouble with arrow flight,the only complant was the small sight window on a shorter riser,I really think that comes down to shooting style (that's a whole other thread). Bill

Well done guys, thanks for the input. I was able to try a 62" Demo that Beth sent to me and it is perfect! I will be on the long list of new orders for a 62" 3pc longbow shortly. I draw 28" and I think the 62" was the answer.
