I reckon this is the place to share my joy for the day. For many years, I've been a devoted fan of the late Paul Schafer. Paul was one helluva bowhunter and a top notch outdoorsman. If you do a search, you can find some real interesting old videos of some of his hunts for brown bears and mountain goats. TradGang has a bunch of his vids posted. I've wanted a Schaffer Silvertip recurve since forever.

Today was my 52nd birthday. I don't know how she(my wife)pulled it off, but when I hit the the coffee pot this morning, there was a little note attached to my usual coffee cup telling me to take a look on the back porch. When I opened the door, there hung a brand spanking new Schaffer Silvertip that I unknowingly spec'd outquite some time ago.What a bow and what a women!

I can feel the magic in this bow. Man I can't wait until the NY bow season opens so I can feel the magic of carrying a Silvertip in the magical October woods. I'm one lucky SOB I tell ya!
