Try downloading from your own puter. Pat doesn't like the image storage places since they harbor too many viruses.

Thanks for deleting my GIANT photo Phil. Now back to commemorating Paul Schafer and the Windauer's in this thread. Too bad we lost so many great photos in the original thread. I hope many of those who contributed to the original thread will see this and dig out some pics of Paul from their hard drives. Thank you to those who have contributed thus far. In a few days it will be the 25th anniversary of Paul's passing, and I believe this will be a great way to remember him. Post them if you got them.

Here's another pic with it in the foreground. The one in back is a 64" built by Paul, 66#@31.5" (about 57#@28")... the smoothest bow in my collection and my favorite to shoot... I was blessed to harvest a decent buck with it in November.

Ha Mingo! My previous post was from January, several months before you gifted me the 1 piece
Folks, John (Mingo) converted me to shooting recurve about 5 years ago and I've never looked back or enjoyed shooting and hunting more since. My best friend of about 40 years has also gifted me a couple of original Schafer's (as he eluded to here)... here's a pic of "my" 64" original takedown & it's twin 60" 1 piece... both great shooters and I will be forever grateful!
Although, if you want to know the truth, I believe he gifted me the one piece as payback to me for dragging his buck out of the woods (pictured above)... #whatahog, #300poundfreak

Honest to goodness I shoot every one of them (time permitting). It's a rule of mine if I own a bow it has to be hunted and take an animal with it. I've killed deer with every bow on the rack except a 62in longbow built by Dave. Good news is I have the rest of Oct and Nov to put her to work! Simply love the Schafers and love how they shoot even more!

I just found a Tip with the same camo pattern as my Tall Tines. Both bows were built for the same guy. I have no reason why he built both a Tall Tines and a Silvertip then sold them so soon. I think that it is a hoot to have both of them. The camo really fits with the country that I hunt in. I forget the name of it. I call it cactus camo.

This morning I put a spare set of Tall Tines limbs on the short Schafer riser. I haven't shot it yet but it feels pretty good and looks pretty good considering the profile of the top limb butt is different. I can't see that side of the bow anyhow when I'm shooting.

Dave asked for my riser I dropped it off just this week, so he can match up my new set of limbs. I ordered an actionwood with camo cloth inlays. excited to get a new set of limbs at a lighter weight. Wahooooo,. Cannot wait.
currently my phone does not take pictures, but looking at switching to an apple phone so it streams with my hearing aids, if these big events happen about the same time, I will post photos.
