Wanted one for a long time..........a Silvertip
« on: July 22, 2011, 02:58:00 PM »
so I sold my ACS a grabbed a Silvertip off the Classifieds. Most times they were to much money or way to heavy ,but this one was in the ball park for me. 60" 52# @ 29.5 with a checkered grip.Pics were on the classifieds, dark Bocote, non FF model! Well it got here today and all I can say is I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. I shot cedar, ash, alum., carbon and it does not care. Smooth and with a bit of tuning it will be almost silent. I have wanted one for over 20 years........and I am pleased!!

Ron,

Great score!  Does this mean you are done buying other bows?

Ron,
Been down the same road you have. Just never took the plunge. When I lived in AL acouple of friends ordered bows from Dave and were totally satified. I shot their bows and really like the way they handled.

Congrats on the purchase.

Ron, glad it worked out for you.  Like I said, if you decide you don't want it, please let me have first crack at it because it is so difficult to find one in a lower draw weight.

Bring it to Denton Hill so I can try it out!  I saw you were coming out on the motorcycle.

Good for you. I've never had the privilege of shooting a Silvertip. Hope to rectify that soon.

Saw the pictures over in the classifieds.  That's a great looking bow!
