Black Tail Bows

[McDave]

I wonder if it might end up being a trend in the industry?

 I talked to South Cox a minimum of 4x on my Riser build….can you imagine doing that 100x a day?

Whereas, he could build a bunch of different wood combos and just put them on his website where they get gobbled up faster than they can make them.

 It might be worth pulling the trigger now if a guy has been debating this….

Yes, I agree.  While I have bought some stock bows, I really enjoy the collaboration with the bowyer when he is making a custom bow for me.  Even some fairly large companies, like Black Widow and Bob Lee, are more than happy to work with you to ensure that you get the bow you dreamed of.  While I would tend to want to deal with companies that continue to offer this service, I certainly don't begrudge anyone who changes his business model to maximize profit. 

In the course of our lives, I’m sure we've all had to adjust our buying habits to accommodate changes that companies make.  For example, after many years of having to do without Trappey's jalapeño black eyed peas, I recently discovered that I can buy that, and other locally discontinued products I like, from Amazon.

I've been very happy with the 66" Elite VL they built for me 15 months ago. It took a bit longer because of a 7 week shut down due to Covid, but was well worth the wait. Perhaps they've never caught up because of that. Their stock bows look great and seem to sell fast, but the 28" draw length would be a deal breaker for me.

They are beautiful bows no doubt! Never seen one in person but man the pics I e seen are works of art for sure.
