Title: MY SILVERTIP WHAT A BOW
Post by: Traditional-Archer on June 29, 2007, 10:40:00 PM
DO ANY OF YOU NAME YOUR BOWS OR BOW. I GOT MY SCHAFER SILVERTIP ON THE 10-TH OF APRIL TWO DAYS AFTER EASTER. I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL TO GIVE THE BOW A BIBLICAL NAME . I WAS THINKING "THE RESURRECTION",WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ? GIVE ME SOME IDEAS IF YOU WOULD.

THE BOW IS A SILVERTIP TAKE DOWN RECURVE 58" LONG. IT HAS A ROSEWOOD RISER WITH CLEAR GLASS. A CHECKERED GRIP, FAST FLITE SNAKESKIN LIMBS, ANTLER KNOBS AND ANTLER OVERLAYS.50LBS@27"
A SECOND SET OF LIMBS SNKESKIN,SHEEP HORN OVERLAYS,61LBS@27"

DAVE AND BETH ARE THE BEST, GREAT PEAPLE, VERY HELPFUL AND FREINDLY. THANKS DAVE AND BETH YOUR THE BEST WHAT A PIECE OF ART YOU MADE ME DAVE.

I AM TRYING TO GET SOME PICTURES POSTED. BIG RON HUNT ALOT IS TRYING TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT HOW TO POST PICS ON TRAD-GANG. I JUST CANT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET IT DOWN YET, POSTING PICS THAT IS. SHOULD HAVE SOME IN THE NEAR FUTURE

As for Biblical names for bows, although I never named mine:

"Providence" would be my choice...

Terrific looking bow there, Bruce! I'd say I've got about 9 months and 1 week to go before my Silvertip arrives! I'm looking forward to it!

Congratulations Michael; Yu just purchased the best recurve  available today! I own a bunch of them ... don't want my wife to have a number! LOL. It is by far the most accurate shooting recurve that i have ever shot and I shoot mine out to 60 yds routinely. Have fun wuth it and put some " toe nails in the air" !

Man, that's a nice bow!  Silvertips are about the only high-end recurves that I've never shot; I've never even seen one in person.  Like to try one someday.  As for the name, why not "The Fourth Horseman?"  (you know, death?)

Awesome bow! I have one on order, about 8 months to go. Keep the Silvertip threads coming, it helps pass the time!!

Really nice bow! I'm sure a lot of people will want to handle that bow at the upcoming shoot.

I shot a Silvertip before I knew what a Shaffer bow was.  Stopped in to see a friend last fall at his shop and we started shooting his bows,  I picked up his a Great Plains LB.  He then handed me his recurve to try out.  That was the most impressive feeling bow I had ever tried.  Not that I've shoot any high end bows but it was obvious this was a cut above what I was used to.  Many times over the winter I kept thinking about how nice that bow felt in my hands.  Went back a couple of months ago to see for my self just what that special piece of work was.  Great bows for sure.

I had a chance to shoot a Silvertip for a couple of days, and it was "stunning" to hold, shoot,and simply admire from every angle.

I truly wish Paul Schafer was still with us.

How about " Sonrise" for the Easter message and the unique reddish hues in the wood
Title: Re: MY SILVERTIP WHAT A BOW
Post by: Traditional-Archer on July 01, 2007, 09:48:00 PM
Thanks everyone,
I really appreciate all the great come backs.

Thanks Mark the bow weight is on the first pg first column.

Sonrise thats awesome how about risingson I think thats it, it fits the whole.

I am blessed just to be able to shoot one arrow,
God is the archer we are the arrows. Like the master archer he trys to straighten his arrows daily, he uses the best ones he has. not one goes to waste.

Absolutely gorgeous bow!  You can hunt with that bow for years and years.  Dave made mine for me in 1998, and I still love it.

Risingson works for me. My bows usually must "earn" a name. Like my "procrastinator" Silvertip , which I have killed many deer with on the last hunt of the season.Not that I'm picky, just happened that way
