A real long story short - Back in 2001 just married I sold my very first custom bow, a 64" 62#@28" Schafer Silvertip. I regretted the day I sold it and have thought of that bow many days over the last 9 yrs.
Well I work as a deputy Fire Chief and one of my younger paid guys told me that "hey Kevin's uncle has one of your bows." How do you know it is one of mine I replied??? He says it has your name on "custom made for Jason Baker" This man LIVES in the town I have now worked for for five yrs. My bow has been gone for 9 yrs, and that bow could only be THAT bow. He went on to tell me that he wanted to sell it back to me. This individual I actually knew but had not spoken to in forever. I sent message that I would pay him whatever to get the bow back - well he came in today with that old bow and I paid 100 bucks for it.
I could not be more tickled
, Apologized to my old friend (the bow) she is going on a hunt Monday then back to Dave for a refinishing. My current bow is a Schafer Silvertip built exactly like this first one but at 55#s. So now I have two!
The bow now has a new nickname of BOOMERANG!!
