Title: Just recieved my new Blacktail Recurve
Post by: Liquid Courage on June 19, 2015, 09:15:00 AM
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
