I chose Cocobolo and Bolivian Rosewood. 64" 55lb @ 28. I am very impressed with the way it shoots and of course how stunning it looks. I am pleased beyond expectations.

Best looking bow made...and they're "killers" too!
-
Blacktail Bows are know for their beauty, people don't realise that they are first incredible shooters and performers. Great looking bow by the way.
-
That is a sweet looking recurve. How long was the wait? I have one on order. Hopefully, should be here in Oct/Nov timeframe. I chose a 1pc with Cocobolo and Wenge with Cocobolo limbs. Ken

I shot some 3D with Norm last week and got to shoot the new longbow he has available. A sweet shooting bow to be sure!

Matching woods to the riser. Keeps it elegant I think.

Originally I was looking to do the Cocobolo with colored Myrtle, then I decided on going with a darker looking bow. Walnut is only offered with the Legacy series so Rosewood is the closest to Walnut. It was a nice surprise to see them complement each other so well.

Looks a lot like mine. I sent it back for the satin finish. It used to be glossy. The new finish is much tougher than the old glossy finish, I think. And what a shooter, I have tried to replace it with other bows but every time come fall, or in this year's case spring, the Blacktail remains my go to bow.
-
Great looking stick!

Thumbs up!
I love mine.
Everytime I see a photo of a new BT I want to order another...
Last year I was quoted 8-9 months-
Got it in 6.5
-
So good to hear your impression, Newhouse, of the longbows they're making now. I have one on order and should be here in a couple of months. Have an Elite VL and it is awesome so if the longbow performs the same, I will be one happy shooter. Good people with whom to deal.
-
Congrats on the new Blacktail. They are addictive though. I own 3 of them and they are shooters.
-
Norm builds a beautiful bow.... How can you not appreciate that one?... Congrats brutha!
-
Can't have just one? I found that out myself especially when you get bit by the snake.LOL
Had 5 and sold 2 back to 3 magnificent bows.LOL
-
very nice! I waited 13 months for mine several years ago.
mine is cocobolo and bocote.
-
Beauty!
-
Great looking bow, that second picture in the sun really shows the grain and colors, very nice.
I have my fourth Blacktail on order now, the last one took 18 months, this one 7 to 8 is what they are saying.
Good shooters, and I think the best looking bow made.

Very nice looking bow!
-
Nice .....whats Norm use for core wood on the limbs?
I have a Wes Wallace Mentor, cocobolo riser w/yew limbs.
One word of caution Cocobolo will darken very quickly losing some of its beautiful character with the aging.
-
Man, that's a beautiful bow
-
Very beautiful bow. Just can't get around the price though.
