Silvertip Arrived 7 Days Ago

[Bowwild]

I posted a few days ago that two long-awaited bows arrived last Friday.  I promised pictures of them.  Here are the Silvertip Pictures.

This bow is the TD Recurve, LH, 58", 53#@28" and 47.6#@26". It is FF compatible with Rosewood Dymonwood in the riser with Macassar Flares.  The limbs are veneered with Myrtle from Idahocurt. The limbs are tipped with elk antler (sheds from what will be new PY World Record -- sorry can't help myself). The checkering is Dave's own and I had a Bear 18mm compass installed.

This is only my 2nd custom-ordered recurve.  My other bows are stock or or inventory bows or bows I've bought from other Trad Gangers. I ordered the bow with the flush allen bolt limb attachments and the Schafer knurly knobs.

I am tickled beyond belief.

The bow is very sweet shooting!

I'll likely pull that shelf rug off the bow when I'm settled on the Bear Weather Rest. I'm liking the Weather Rest pretty good right now.

Should be some good mojo in those antler tips...

[meathead]

Those are beautiful limbs.

Love it.

Thanks folks.  I waffled a lot on a few items:

1. Whether to have the bow drilled and tapped for a springy style plunger rest.
2. Antler on the window back and around the limb bolts.
3. Exotic or Dymonwood around the flares.

Eventually, I decided on a bit more simple so I reduced the antler. I wanted FF and the Dym is required for warranty-sake. I love the plunger springy in my "The Stick" and believe that's why I shoot that bow best.  But it seemed such a violation of the Silvertip to put a big ole hole in the riser.

Beth and Dave are terrific to work with. They tolerated all my questions and provided pictures of verious combos as I contemplated the woods in this bow. I was especially grateful they were willing to contact IdahoCurt when I saw those myrtle veneers on PowWow a couple months ago.

Several of you were a great help as you shared pictures of your bows and flushed out various wood combinations. So when you ask questions about possibilities, know that some of us are lurking and poaching various ideas.

Very nice indeed!!

How does the grip section of the handle compare to a Bear Supreme TD? Enquiring minds want to know.

Jeepers that thing is sweet!  Yep.  Dave and Beth are a class act.  Can't wait for our Silvertip shoot at Denton Hill.
