I've had my Blacktail for 10 years now. Guys used to say..."I'd be afraid to hunt with a bow THAT nice!". But I bought it to hunt with and not hang on my wall. The best hunting bow I've ever had in my hands.    :thumbsup:   Bocote and Cocobolo.

Mine is a 64" and 60# @ 29".  You'll love the new bow!  The Bocote on mine has darkened over the years.

Yes...the $9,750.00 number is perplexing.?? I come from the world of custom flintlocks. For 35 +years. A custom long rifle in that category are getting into rare air. There are some, but not a lot.! 5 G's on a bow would be considerable! However, anything is worth on any given day what someone is willing to pay..jmo...BTW....the silver and wire inlay on that custom bow are very well done?? As was the carving. Perhaps I'm being a little to critical on my estimation.....nice.....

I know Blacktails are nice but My Wes Wallace will run with the best of them in looks and performance at a fraction of the cost   Just saying.
