Thanks a bunch!

In the same boat, ordered in August and think about it every day. I have never owned one but Bill Webster (maxwell) thinks highly of them and there was a thread on here about the "tips" and it got me fired up...

4.  Mine is due in March.  I later became aware of the double carbon option, and added that.  I'm not sure that was available at the time I placed my original,order.

My bros 1pc I designed is due next month.  After talking to Dave and Beth, no double carbon.

I just mailed my 1pc to get refinished.  Its a 58" 55@28 I think. Not sure if its marked correctly.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

The assumption  is often made that a one piece Silvertip is a recurve...the truth is Dave makes some great longbows...I had a 62 inch one that he no longer makes that was as good as any of the forty or so bows i have owned...if I were you I would at least ask him about doing a longbow with some carbon...my understanding is that carbon works better with longbows...I believe ordering one without his amazing checkering would be a mistake
