No way I passed on this Schafer
« on: April 15, 2007, 09:07:00 AM »
this bow was in the classifieds for less than 9 hours and disappeared. People wondered what happened, and my friends wondered how could I email them a picture of the bow in my hand the day after. I drove 240 miles roundtrip to get it from the hands of Maxwell himself (who drove 100 miles r/t      :readit:      
64" 63#@28 w/ Imbua veneers, I believe

I don't even have to concentrate on a spot. The bow seems to know the spot already!       :archer:      and you're talking about smooooth!!
60#@27" it zipped one of my 580gr turkey arrow at 178fps
FXE: good idea. but I have to find out what kind of music would make it  shoot better

The limbs are imbua veeners probably over action wood limb  core.  The few times I shot it I sang brown eyed girl Van Morrison song the bow seemed to like it  even if my friends did not. La la la la la la la la laaa-d-da   la-d-da.   Give it a try.

Alex with a hybrid? Is the sky falling?

Beautiful bow buddy. Now we have to see what kind of turkey medicine it has.

Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

alex, SWEEEEEET schafer, even if it is lefty..haha! that imbua looks like an awesome veneer. dave sure knows how to put together some beautiful wood combo's on his bows. just a spectacular bow and even a better shooter i'm sure.

p.s. if that bow was a righty i would have raced you the 200+ miles for it!  LOL!     congrats on the bow,               mike

BTW, since alex declared 4/15 the "schafer holiday" i propose that everyone use their tax refund and give themselves a special present, just like he did.  great idea alex!!!!!!!   i'm thinking new limbs for starters...........
