Nice bow. I like the camo limbs.

Great googly-moogly man, you done used up all the bandwidth with that life size picture. ))))))) May want to resize that. I don't even know how you got it on here.

Yeah, im using a server called imgbb. Trying to resize now.

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

Zmonster I resized your picture in my above post.

Dang!!! Great Tip!!!!

TTT for a great thread ...must be from photobucket but I couldn't see any pics on the old thread

David's & Zmonsters pics are better quality... here's a pic of my flock of Silvertip's (& 1 Kodiak TD)... I guess you could say I have a weakness for Schafer's

I’ve always liked the camo limbs. Great looking bow!

Great tip bldtrailer... love the old school brown camo

Here is my 2013, limbs are backed with my very first pair of hunting pants. Riser is plain walnut dymondwood.

My Charcoal riser/snakeskin (over yew) limbed 53#er. Great bow, wish I still had it.

Heres Old Rosie, the first Schafer that I had custom made for myself. Good bow, 52# @ 28, 60" amo. Rosewood with another set of 60# limbs thrown in. Both sets of limbs had antler tips and like all of my Schafers, checkered grip. That grip is the best in the business.

The "Huntin pants" bow in action. Probably the oldest deer that I have ever shot. Her teeth and hooves were wore down badly, probably wouldn't have survived that upcoming winter.

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.

Love that retro camo. And warchild, great idea on the old pants.

Thanks for sharing the photos. Great looking bows. Lance

My only custom, '87 Silvertip, 64# @ 30", build for me by Paul. I can't believe he's been gone 25 yrs. Ralph

My new tip and with my favorite woods what a great bow backed by the best people in the buisness ...Beth and Dave!

Sorry forgot to rotate pic

Stickman's Bow

Great looking Tips! Stickman, I have a riser that looks very similar to yours, although hard to identify your woods in the photo... mine is walnut diamondwood w/charcoal flare and quilted maple limbs.

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.

56" 45@28 but I draw this little guy to 30" with no stacking that I notice. All Macassar ebony, compass, checkered grip, smooth buffalo horn overlay and tips and silver inlay turkey feather!

They are beautiful looking bows.

Anybody have a pic of the high grip . Have a one piece on order with it .

I love the original ones!

How did you get your pants under the glass on the limbs. Did I miss something?

God I love Schafers

They shoot good too

They shoot good too

Damn I didn't mean to do that

New 60" silvertip. Double carbon limbs with canebrake snake skin. Double cresent riser. Sheep horn tips. Checkered grip with leaf acents. Great shooting bow.

62" 58 @ 28 Non FF

Own 8 originals and 7 of Dave’s. Gifted another 8 or so to brothers interested in crossing over to the poetic world of traditional. Oly, you should of highlighted the one piece original with the original takedown! Simply the best bows ever made - period.

Ming

HOLY SMOKES MINGO! WHAT A BUCK!

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

That’s good stuff my Brutha!!

Had a chance back in the day to get one off Paul but didn't do it now not sure if I would wait 2yrs plus and shell out that much money. Should have pulled the trigger when i was younger and selling off my motorcycle collection. Love seeing the pictures so keep them coming.

My Tip with Russian Olive veneers.

Nice bows guys you got me thinking ??

Wo, Journeyman good looking Tip. Must have set you back $2600.00 or so

Couple of Originals

Couple more tips

My stable of originals. Love these bows!

Bloody Delta

I know a few of those bows!! See you in MN next Sunday - ps I have a giant lined up for you!!!

Best,

Mingo

Well unless Oly takes him before you get here!!!

Best,

Mingo

Wow delta that's gorgeous. I like 1 pieces. Wheres Zman? Keith has some really tricked out tips too.

Some Beauty's keep them coming.

Just saying (-:

Mingo

Wow! You guys got some serious hoarding of Tips going :)

WOW!!! You guys have some beautiful tips. I really regret selling mine. I'm gonna put up and ad to trade a magnificent Custom bear TD for a nice Silvertip......hint.

I am afraid that ZMAN has thinnered his collection.

I only have two, one each TD and one piece made by Dave. Both made from the same billets of wood, cocobolo and koa in the riser and koa limb veneers. Sheep horn overlays and tips, antler limb bolts on the TD and checkered grips on both.

Some of you guys have awesome collections of Silvertips.

Easykeeper thoes are beautiful bows!

Those are beautiful Easykeeper. I still miss the 62" Tip I sold you a number of years ago.

My 62" Silvertip T/D Longbow.

Great looking bows guys! I'm looking for a original or a 62" 3pc recurve if anyone wants to get rid of one!

Mingo, share the love! Sell us some of those bows!

ProAlpine

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!

Best,

Mingo

Limbow, I really liked that bow you sold me. I liked it so much I thought I better get one made just for me. I sold it to help fund the pair I posted above. If I remember right it went to a guy out east somewhere.

EasyKeeper

Give up the complete herd photos / we need pics!! ProAlpine has me contemplating to kick one out of the flock!!! (-;

Ming

That's not right. Everyone should own one, not one should own every one. ;)

I'm piecing one together as I was dumb and sold the four that I owned. The limbs came in last Saturday and the riser should arrive this morning. Will it be ugly or nice? I'll know in about an hour.

Oh, I still have some left:)

Wish I had my first oneback!

Beautiful tips!

Show yours Keith they are bad to the bone as well. Wait till ya see them.

Another pic of my original previously posted, 64# @ 30".

Beautiful bows! but I'm "spinning my wheels" trying to get an answer! RIP TG. TLM

I can't see some of the silvertip photos , anyone else?

I can't see a lot of them either

i hate you guys! i just sold my last windauer ( i still have a silver ghost) and now you got me wanting a camo limbed schafer haha. beautiful bows guys. its really hard to top looks of a schafer imo

Wow,great looking bows.Would really like to get an original Paul bow with the camo limbs.

Those camo limbed bows have always done it for me. Love the old school camo Patterns

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.

The Schafer and Tall Tines are very similar in looks.

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.

Two very nice deer Pat! Good shooting!

52# @28" 60AMO Silvertip. Bow has cocobolo and macassor ebony flare.

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.

Livin the good life oz

I’m looking for a lefty trade or purchase.
