Last year I bought an original Paul Schafer takedown off of ebay. It was painted camo by someone at one time or another. I hunted with it but no shot opportunities. I sent it to Dave over at Schafer Silertip Archery for a complete refinish. I got it back last week and all I can say is wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what it must have looked like when Paul sent it out in the late 80"s. It is a total priviledge to own and shoot this bow. Thanks Dave for such a beautiful job on the refinish Paul would be proud !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks great! What are the specs? Love my Silvertip’s. I have an original take down and a very early one piece. Plus 6 that were made by Dave. He and Beth are great to work with.

You have a flatter finish than what it was originally. I think that it looks better than new.
