I bought mine in 1992, and have hunted exclusivly with that bow since. I would highly recomend the checkered grip.

Oh yeah, the bow in my profile picture is not the bow that I killed the deer with. The deer and my Silvertip wound up in different vehicles so I grabbed my old Howatt for the picture. Just thought that I would head that one off at the pass!!

I wish I had some pics of mine...  She's all black with rock maple on the line through the riser, and the limbs are backed with rattlesnake.

60# at 27.5", and it sends a 520 grain arrow (at 27") a very quiet and stable 183 FPS.  I've got another set of limbs that will be ready in November.

I've shots PILES of other recurves on the 3D scene, and there really is Schafers and all the rest.  you might find beautiful fast bows, or forgiving, stable bows, or even quiet and fast bows.  But a Schafer recurve has IT ALL.  They're the mistress in a french maid outfit of the bow world  ;)

The only legitimate gripe about Schafers is that you really do need to have each set of limbs fit to your riser.  Dave says that will change soon...

I love mine.  Like others have said, it looks good and it shoots good.  What more could you ask for?

If you can make the TBW rendezvous in Packwood WA next weekend??? Look me up...I'll be in the small white scamp trailer... I'll bring a 60" 56# S-tip for you to shoot some... just bring a "drool rag" as I hate handling a slick bow   :coffee:

Someday, someday, I will have one though I have never shot one. NEVER do you see a group of archer's, hunters or collectors brag-gloat-praise- drool over a particular make of a bow. Bear, HH etc. have their followers but the Schafer's..........  :pray:

Well mannered, nicely appointed, pure class, but try before you buy.  Like all bows, the grip seems to be everything.  Schafers just don't fit my hand properly.  I so wish they did!

Always learning,

Be careful of Gene!  He's got some nice stuff:)  He may try to sell something to you at a good price!

I have two originals take downs both 60" one is shedua with green camo limbs horn tips 68# and the other is cherry stained with realtree camo limbs 67#. I had three other originals (wish I still had) and one of Daves. The one thing I can say about Schafers is that they looks like hunting bows and feels like a hunting bows.
