What...another Silvertip thread?

[Bob Palmer]

Thinking about getting another Silvertip! Looking for some thoughts and experiences!

First, anybody out there have any experience with the short riser with long limb 60" Schafer TD? I understand it is the 58" bow riser with 62" bow limbs....any strung up pics?

Second, I was first thinking a a replica of my original Schafer with a Walnut Dymondwood riser and camo limbs....but now, I'm leaning towards a FF riser with with some sort of exotic limbs....anybody have some quilted maple limbs pics they would like to show off? Any other cool limbs?

Last, anyone have a Midnight Ebony Dymondwood riser...how's it working out? Pics?

Thanks for your help!!!

Hey Bob,

My fancier Silvertip has a walnut dymondwood riser that will accomodate ff and it's spruced up a bit with these russian olive limbs that sport kudu tips. I can use my antler limb bolts to add another touch.

Tim, Would you have a pic of these limbs on the walnut dymondwood riser? Fred

Tim,
   I have owned both short and long riser tips. On the 58 incher you give up sight window. I would say you get used to it but its not my first choice. I like the longer riser set for a 60 inch bow. For me it is much more stable in hand. I just came into a 60 incher dacron and at least for me I actually like it more than ff. It is quieter and more forgiving and very easy to tune, could not be happier. Good luck tom

[Bob Palmer]

Keith, I've been considering curly or quilted maple for limb laminations as well! I just got on the list last night...Beth sent me some bow pics and the choices are way too many!!

I have bows from 59 up to 68 lbs @28".
Can't do Pittsville...kids have me busy the entire weekend!

Here is some Russian olive, and zebra.
The 60" short riser combo is may favorite followed by the 60" med riser. I think the longer limbs are quicker, they both point well, and either has plenty of mass to be stable for me.

THEM there is purty

[Bob Palmer]

Keith, I don't think Dave's made an ugly one yet    

Lost, What limbs are on the riser with the Antler knobs?

[Lost]

Zebra wood.

The maples are real nice, I had a set of quilted maple and they sure were pretty. I'll look for some pics..

BOB do you shoot off a elevated rest like dave or off the shelf?
