After 25 years of Bowhunting, I finally ordered one!

A Blacktail Columbian Longbow...

Over the years, I've always wanted to order a Blacktail, but for some reason or another, I didn't. Well their new 3 pc just pushed me over the edge and I sent them my deposit last week.

A closer look of the riser (all images from Blacktail website).

       


Here it is unstrung and at brace.

I'll be back in about 6-7 months to post my images...    :D

Very sexy stick!

What's the wait time? (nevermind, I just saw your 2nd post!)

Here's a side by side comparison of the Columbian longbow risers. I almost pulled the trigger for the 1pc when it first came out.

Nice choice. I shot a few of their bows at Compton last June. I was definitely impressed. They were super nice folks to. Congrats on your new bow it's beautiful.

I appreciate all the kind words Gang!!!        


The wood choice will be a surprise to all of us.         I just gave him my price range and asked him to choose.

Thank you! Agreed, the customer service from both Norm and Allen has been exceptional! In my opinion, they have a really good warranty as well.
