Title: Anybody know the wait time on a new blacktail?
Post by: slayer1 on January 23, 2017, 06:30:00 PM

I didn't really wont to bother the bowyer, until I figure out what I really want. I'm trying to weigh out all my options. If anyone has ordered one recently can you please share the wait time? Thanks.

6-8 months the last time I heard from them.

I believe the website also says 6-8 months

If a person is RH there are always some beauties, not just the sculpted ones, on their website.  I bought my first Sitka that way (LH). I ordered the 2nd one.

I love those stained maple burl risers. The granite green almost got  me in line again...but I resisted.

I just ordered 2 of their bows, they should be ready in August of this year, so about 7-8 months.

Thanks guys. There is an Elend on the web site that I have been eyeing. I have a 29.5" draw. It says that it would accommodate a 30" shooter. Weight is perfect. I may just sell everything else and by this one. How do they shoot? are they quiet?

I've got one on order now and it sounds like it will be closer to 8 months rather than 6.

If you know you want one, get your down payment of 250 started. You will have no less than 3 months to change your mind and they will call to reconfirm your particulars before they start. I would say that if you're looking at a T2 or some type of special edition, may require more of a commitment up front so they can order the wood.

I wouldn't worry about bugging them. They will be happy to answer all your questions.

I called Alan with a question about a used Snakebit I had bought. He eventually transferred me to Norm. At no point did I get the impression I was bothering them. They take great pride in their bows and it shows.

I called them today. They are 6 to 8 months out on a new bow. I ended up buying one of the stock bows. I cant wait to get it! I hope I can shoot it!
