Well Allen, I'm sure Bill will have some special shot selections for you this comming Monday night.  Dial her in real good....  If you get her tomorrow, Dan and I will be scouting around Earlysville.  Give a hallar, we should be out of the woods around noon.  See ya soon.  Jefro

Nice going Allen-  I have one coming in a week or two, I have no idea what it will look like.  I told Dave to indulge himself with Beth as official approver.  It has the same spec's as your's  60"  
49-51#  @ 27"..  What ever happened to the Morrison?

Congratulations on the Schafer,  I've had a bunch and have loved to shoot all of them.

Thanks again everyone.


Billy, if that's the case, I guess I'll just have to start working out more!

Maxwell, the Morrison lives in France now.

Hope to see pics of your new one soon.

Congrats.  I'm expecting a call, soon, for my riser order (for my extra limbs).

Yours is a beauty!

After a lond weekend, the mail lady finally came through today!  All I can say is wow, wow, and wow!!

The bow came out just as I had dreamed....Dave did a flawless job.

The draw weight ended up 50@27, and she really rips an arrow.


The only issue I have right now is hitting to the right with it. I've been shooting an ACS for the past several months, so I'm hoping my eye and bow arm will get accustomed to the recurve again (even though I'm a gapper). My groups are awesome, just a few inches right, however the distance right seemed to be decreasing as the evening went on today.

Heck, I almost Robon Hooded one with it already.  :bigsmyl:  

I think she's a keeper!!

Congrats, Allen!!!  I'm waiting to get one back from a re-finish job.  Have to admit I'm a little envious after seeing yours!

Hey Allen,

Been away all weekend and didn't see your post.  The bow looks "great"! I remember when you ordered it....seemed like yesterday...LOL!

Looks like that ACS is going to finally have some competition for the leading role.  Let me what you think after a week or so of tinkering and shooting.

Take care buddy!

The bow looks GREAT. The wood combos are wonderful. They even made me drool over it. Glad it is built backwards. I will not be up late looking for it in the classifieds.
I am sure you will get it tuned in.
Let me know what arrow combo you end up with.

Hey Allen, It's OK if you can't "dial her in" before this weekend.  I've learned to handle getting beat on the range, but when you're shooting a brand new bow, you've gotta have some flyers now and then, right?  :pray:  
"Shooting a few inches to the right".  Hmm, most of us have the same problem, except it's a few inches to the right, then a few inches to the left, then a few inches high, etc., etc.

See you and your new "mate" on Saturday!

Joe VT, the Chechen really matches the grain in the marblewood perfect. It has some beautiful grain when you look at it close.

Chris....it's a real shooter!!

I just took off the elevated rest and set it up to shoot off the shelf. That took away the problem with hitting to the right. It's shootin' great now. I may be able to tune it to the rest later, but I have a 3D shoot this weekend....so I need to get it going now.

I am jealous for sure.  I ordered one today and will have to impatiently wait for the months to slowly drag by.  My fault, however.  I had one of Pauls bows I picked up 2nd hand back in the nineties and made the mistake of selling it.  Granted it was a bit heavy for regular shooting and my shoulders.  It was in the upper 70's at 27" and I draw 28.5".

Beautiful bow you got there, and with that, I will go back to my waiting--

I just have to keep going back and looking at that bow.

It's a beauty Allen....not quiet, but almost as pretty as another one I know of....of course, that opinion may be a bit biased   (:
