Tip meets Texas heat
« on: August 17, 2011, 05:51:00 PM »
I got my new Silvertip longbow in today and talk about pretty and fast. WOW. Even though it was 109° outside I had to shoot her.
 
 
 

After a few practice shots, I had her tuned in pretty good.

I enjoyed my stay last week in San Antonio. Averaged 105+ every day.  My students did not melt and we even brought a tidbit of rain with us... what is that you say...  what is rain?

Great looking bow and some outstanding shooting....

I'm jealous, wish I could shoot that good!

Donald, that is a sweet looking bow and some great shooting! It has been a summer to remember here in Texas. In Tyler so far we have had 61 days  100 degrees or above. 20 days 105 degrees or above and we had 47 days in a row with triple didgets! It is 102 outside right now and we are still forecast to remain this way well into next week! I am ready for fall.   :saywhat:

Donald, I don't think it will work for you. Really worried about the severe numbers of arrows that you'll have destroyed because of it's ease of shooting...better pass that one along to some other unsuspecting soul.
Nice bow and arrow combo!

Right there with you in the heat here in Oklahoma Donald!

I went out to shoot tonight (Only 99 degrees today...) and took one shot with a Snuffer on the end... Center punched and as I counted my steps on my way to the target I got to 32.  Figured that was good enough for the day!  ;)

 
 


Very nice looking tip!  I can't really help you with a name, I don't seem to name my own bows... Unless they name themselves...  The Silvertip Longbow is one bow I haven't gotten my hands on as of yet.  How does it compare say to a Brack Non-Typical, ACS-CX, or Shawnee?

However it sure looks like you and her really seem to be getting along pretty well!  Great shooting!

Donald,

You and Jeff seem to be having some problems getting your arrows to hit where you want.    :D  I try to aim at spots all over my target to keep from hitting my nocks -- that's my story and I'm sticking to it.  :rolleyes:     "[dntthnk]"

That is a great looking bow that seems to work extremely well for you. Congratulations. I look forward to seeing you, but I think I will wait until the weather cools off both down there and up here where Jeff and I live. I definitely want to shoot that bow and Danny's new one too -- the twin Tips.
