Charcoal riser/ zebra limbs 2007

A Original Paul made Schafer 64" w/ two sets of limbs. Walnut dymondwood riser, checkered grip. 54@28 Zebrawood set has antler tips. Camo (early Realtree) set is 57@28. This bow I got from the original owner, he recieved it in Dec 92', the month before Paul was killed. Has to surely be one of the last few ones he did...

Being extremely opinionated as I am- I'm gonna state my narrow mind here. Can't get my aesthetic ar$^#* around a takedown tip- they just don't work at all for me. Kind of like a takedown Dale Dye. Now a one piece tip [or Dye for that matter]- well, that's a completely different matter. They be one of the sweetest simple designs in the realm of archery.

My absolute compliments on 3 beautiful bows! The one piece bow is almost always aesthetically superior to the TDs. Nothing like uninterrupted flowing lines of beautiful woods.
That said, I'm trying to figure out wood combos for a 1 pc 'Tip coming sometime this summer. I'm working on a theme of "simply gorgeous" for this one.

Opinions being what they are, I agree the one pieces are beautiful, no breaks in the beauty lines I call them. But in the fact if you travel to hunt, or if you want different draw weights in the same bow... the 3pc's are the ticket. They both have pros and cons. I for one would like to own a one pc Schafer one day, but the takedowns are my pick for a hunting bow. Looks ain't never killed anything, unless you have seen my ex wife..LOL.

The pictures are terrible and the riser comes out looking like pine. I haven't got finish on it yet But I am going from a one piece of Paul's and so far the risers and grip are almost identical. This is the first one off the form so I used a piece of locust I had laying around the shop. The next one will be fancier.

That IS your bow, my friend. I sold it to Don Rowan a couple years ago. I took the pics of it as shown. BTW...this bow is called the Brochure Bow. I bought it new off the table at Denton Hill and it was featured in/on the Schafer Bows brochure.

Hi,
The first bow I showed is a 60 inch. The last one is 62 inches. The riser is longer on the 62 than on the 60. I can tell a difference in the way they shoot. I hunted with the 62 this year and killed a nice buck with it. A year ago I took it to Alaska on a moose hunt. I didn't kill a moose, but I was head-shooting snowshoe hares to supplement our diet. These bows are...to put it simply...REAL hunting bows.

I remember when I was looking for a new bow at the ETAR at Denton Hill back in late 90s....I ended up with a Habu but the next best shooting bows for me were the Silvertips, Robertsons, and Blacktails.
I think I will still own a Silvertip or Robertson soon to add to my small collection...Unless I get a Bill Stewart first.
Great bows
keep em sharp,

Bow # 2 Macassar Ebony with sheep horn tips , and knobs 63 @ 28" Have an extra set of limbs for the Macassar that are 70# @28 Bow #3 Made by Paul 72# @ 28" with Camo limbs Bow #4 Made by Paul 59# @ 28 wood grain limbs Yep - I like those Silvertips, not to mention that Dave, and Beth are a pleasure to deal with.

Felix, I can't really compare them on performance or shooting qualities yet. It's been a brutal winter here and I've not had an opportunity to really shoot much. For traveling, nothing beats the td. I only bought this bow because I intend to use it right here where I live and hunt. It's my "local bow" now. One noticeable (and surprising) thing: this bow is a bantam weight recurve. Maybe it's the shedua, but it only weighs ounces more than my 64" 2 piece longbows.

I like the look of the polished horn. Horn overlays on the limbs would have really set it off....but it's sweet the way it is, Kevin. Congrats! Beth and Dave are a pleasure to deal with!

The checkering is an option. He does it on other bows as well if you send him the riser.

If that beauty you are showing with the quilted tamo-ash veneers is 60" and 56#@28.. I think I was just holding on to it minute go... Did Thomas Burns get that one from you? If so, it's mine now!! Looked really close at all of the grain and I'm just about positive it's the same bow.
Thanks' Thomas... with my 28 1/2" draw, this shoots nicer for me than the shorter 58" Dark Charcoal Riser one with the green camo limbs... but boy that Charcoal riser was a sure a "looker" and those camo limbs were oh so nice.

Here's mine: 58 inches, 55 pounds at 28 inches but I draw 29.5 so probably shooting about 61 pounds...
Rosewood dymondwood riser and camphor burl limb lams...shoots like a dream.
No blood on it yet. Hunted with it one season. Plan to bloody it up this spring for bear or turkey or this fall for whitetails.
Got it to shoot out of treestand or blind.

I just talked to Dave on the phone today regarding a used Silvertip longbow and he says that his website is getting a bit outdated. Maybe all he needs to do is establish a link to this thread. Totally amazing bunch of bows.
He also realized that he has now been building these bows for as long as Paul did. Great bows from great people. I would love to own a bow one day from each of them.
My name is David and I really do have a problem.

I have been communicating the last two days with a wonderful lady @ Schafer Bows, really knows her stuff and is very patient plus understanding ! Riser so far is Meccassar with a Black and White Ebony flare, not sure of the limbs yet, but, whatever is decided upon will be Awesome!! (62", 62# @ 30 draw, TD, FF) All of these GREAT Silver Tips on here have convinced me that there is no way to go wrong dealing with a company and people of this caliber... Now I just have to wait for ten months to pass.
Can't wait, Zeus

I just realized I've read this thread several times looking at all the beautiful tips and debating wood choices for a one piece I have on order...and never posted a pic of my own.
62" cocobolo riser with ebony stripe (non-FF), limbs are either zebra or stained elm...pretty either way. Antler tips and overlay, and the nice checkered grip. A classifieds treasure.

Forgot to add Kudu overlays on the front and back of the sight window and Limb Tips. And a compass in the riser. Riser is Maccasser with Gaboon crescent. Accents are Bocote to match limb overlays and limb bellys. The limb core is Bamboo. Limb wedges are Bocote. Standard checkering with elk antler added.

moosehunter,
lots of choices for veneers and really boils down to the look YOU want,some like contrast,some like snakeskin's and so on...........I personally like my bows sorta plain and think black glass limbs look nice with a charcoal riser. Having said that.......my all-time favorite combo was this bow,charcoal riser with quilted maple veneers stained charcoal.........it gave the limbs a natural camo look.
Good luck!

Keith, Was good to meet you at Marsh Hill, bigger pleasure when you let me fondle one of your outstanding bows. You have a great eye for bows and you can shoot them very well too.... Monkey balls baking wasn't hard to take either. My tip should be here by August so I will be working hard to get back to my anchor, a Tip needs someone who can shoot better...

Just received my Silvertip from Dave. It's a mate to my current 1pc but is 5# lighter draw at 50@28". Done in a more traditional appearance, black glass, bubinga riser, accented with moose antler tips. Pictures don't do it justice. It's very nice looking and shoots identically to my old one, same arrows, brace height, and nock setting.

These things are all gorgeous. I wish I had one, they are functional works of art. And I like the antler burr riser bolt caps, but don't they catch on every weed, twig, and vine out there? These may be better for stand hunting rather than stalking all day. I'd probably skip that feature for that reason ONLY. Nevertheless, someday I'll own one I hope.

Another beauty! This thread gives a view of the improvements in woods and design over the last few years.

Cacciatore, One great thing about the Silvertips is that Dave and Beth have been doing this since before Paul's passing and put their heart and soul into every single bow they produce. Works of art and high performance is found in every bow. You can get a range of options that is virtually unlimited and every bow shoots as well as the next. The quality is second to none. I have one ordered as well and am obviously anxious to put it to the test once it arrives. If you are seriously considering having them make a bow for you, you will not regret making that decision. Yes, there is a long turn around time at the moment, perhaps as much as 12 months, but from all those I have talked to who I know own Silvertips, not one had anything even minor to say against these bows and all had nothing but praise for how they look and shoot. You can see Zman has quite the collection of Silvertips and probably the best looking one I've ever seen. The one I have on order is not as elaborate as some of his, and I won't put words in his mouth, but I would be willing to bet he would say they all shoot equally as well regardless of the wood composition and options. Amazing quality.

Zman & Cacciatore; Sorry for misinterpreting the thread. Did not mean to go off on a tangent there and certainly did not mean to insult anyone's intelligence. Thanks for setting me straight. ((I will chalk it up to mental fatigue from not being able to stump shoot this winter)). Thanks again. MTQUIVER

Zman at least you got yours. Beth mailed mine the same day as yours. The zip code I found out was off by by one number. Mine went to a town 35 miles east of me yesterday and to a town 25 miles south of me today. Hopefully it will be at my post office tomorrow where I have them holding it and not sending it out with the carrier. Has been a long wait, I am ready to get it.

For sure the woods and design doesn't dictate performances. One of my best shooters is the charcoal simple riser.

Well I finally got to pick up my new Silvertip this morning. Shoots great. Went down in weight from my 52pound to 46 pounds on this one. It is 60' 46@28. Macassar Ebony riser, zebra wood limbs, smooth sheep horn on tips and front of riser.

This is MBogo. A gift from Comanche. I sent it back to Dave to have it refinished. Dave added Eland limb overlays and an Eland riser overlay.
Its 60 58@28. Limbs and riser are Macasser. Limb tips are Cape Buffalo. The bow is a Special Edition 1/15. The Bloodwood in the riser and overlays goes well together with the Macasser.
Thank you again Danny. U are a wonderful friend. Love u bro!

Boy, Dave really made M'Bogo look great, she was fine before but adding that Eland sure makes her pop. You are welcome Bro. She belongs with you. You made the first kill with her. I think the same of you my friend.

Wow if you guys can shoot as good as those bows look I'm surprised that there's any game left to hunt.

I should wait for MTQuiver to post his own pics, but here is a sneak peek at his new Silvertip. It's Macassar ebony and black & white ebony with sheep horn tip overlays.
