I'm Looking for Scafer Silvertip pics
« on: August 03, 2010, 08:37:00 PM »
I'm considering a Schafer Silvertip. Their website doesn't have a lot of pictures, especially the entire bow. Can any of you share pics. I'm looking for 58" lefty.
Thanks

Is this riser walnut action wood? What are the limb veneers? I wonder if they will use antler burrs provided by the buyer...I have lots of them.

Very nice thanks for sharing!

Beautiful bows!

The checkering does look very comfortable.

Hess, what wood is that highly figured riser?

Thanks for sharing guys -- you are moving closer to dropping the string on a ST.

Roy,they use 2 different ways to install the riser bolts.If you want to use your antlers bolts choose for the Dave pagel's style,because often they opt for Mojo Rising style that requires different knobs.

These pics are just what I needed to see! Thanks for the info and advice. I expect the test drive to arrive today. If I like it I will call and ask Beth to send pictures of different wood combos.

Just went thru this myself.  Beth sent me a ton of pics.  Current wait is around 9 months.

Here's my other 'tip.

Thanks for the pictures  folks.  I have done a lot of Trad Gang searches and seen many more pictures. I also contacted Beth and she sent me several also.

I ended up ordering a Silvertip -- now I have to wait until April, 2011.

I'm still scrounging around a bit to see if I can swing buying a used one to tide me over. A couple of fine folks have also contacted me about this but I haven't decided to buy a used one yet.
