Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles What does 223AI mean?

It's been in the works for a while. Another 60" Shafer Silvertip. However this one is one of Dave's new Exotic Wood risers, with a flared center. I hate to say it, but they look just like a Robertson Stykbow recurve, except with a slightly chubbier riser. It's B&W Ebony on the swells, and a gorgeous piece of Macassar through the center. The limb veneers are Macassar too. Probably around 48-50#'s on that set of limbs. Whatever it takes to shoot the various .500 spine carbons. The hunting limbs are going to be 57-58#'s with the new Super E glass in black, and backed with rattlesnake.

[bleep], the wood for the riser took me 3 hours to pick out of his last shipment. Veneers were about another 2 hours on another trip. There's 300 bucks worth of wood there. It'll be close to a 1800 dollar bow by the time I'm done. It pays to live in the same town as your bowyer


Speaking of cool bows... If you're window shopping... Dick Robertson has the Wolfer 3 piece on the drawing board. There might even be a prototype getting built here real soon.
