I have had my Schafer Silvertip for over ten years, and I finally decided to send it back to Dave Windauer to get refinished. I initially planned on sending it last summer..but a prolonged work stoppage(6 months) due to contract negotiations at my factory caused me to put the project on hold! I finally went back to work in January..and spent weeks trying to replenish the bank account. About three weeks ago, I sent the bow back to Montana....
I had Dave do a complete refinish, checker the grip, reduce the weight(getting older), and include antler knobs....
All I can say is I am completely amazed at how talented Dave is....!
It came in the mail today, after only three weeks! Mind you, to me it seemed like three months!
I would like to thank Dave for doing an amazing job, and especially thank Beth, for putting up with me during the last 9 months of emails....It was definitely worth the wait!
It is 58", and now the weight is 54#@27", down from 57#....some pics:
It's like Christmas! It will be with me at the Baltimore Bowmen Traditional Classic in May!
