Congrats Ryan! That's going to be an awesome bow! I heard they have tweaked the design, any idea what sort of speed these bows are going to do?

Looks like it should be pretty quiet, with that mild r/d design.  Congrats in advance Ryan.

Thank you! Not sure about the speeds, but I'll be more than willing to chrono mine when it arrives.

I agree! I just saw that you just received a SWEET longbow! 3 pc longbows are my favorite!  :thumbsup:

I'll be sure to post pics and info when the bow arrives. Please remind me if I forget to post the speeds based on my specs.

Man,

That is a great looking bow!!
For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Good for you Ryan,those Blacktail are some of the best looking and shooting bows. Attention to the details is second to none and great performers.
I had 6 recurves and still own 3, planning to buy a Sitka.

Great to hear from you Felix!

If I buy another recurve, it'll have to be a 56" Sitka.     ;)

When ordering a Blacktail today, does the customer have a choice on whether Norm makes the bow or the guys in Indiana? This is not a knock on the Indy guys. Peace

That's going to be a really nice addition to your stable Ryan. Looking forward to seeing you back on IG and images of the new Blacktail in the Hawaiian Hills

Thank you! Sorry, but I had to delete my Instagram account, only on Facebook these days. I've been way too busy.

Aloha!

Blacktails are beautiful bow's, I'm sure you will really like it Ryan. I'm looking forward to shooting one at Kalamazoo at the end of the month.

Now I know of two bows that should be finished about the same time. I placed my order last week too.
I have the Elite VL, and Sitka now. The Columbian will be my third Blacktail. Great bows.
Mine will be 66" with Wenge and Bocote riser, and yew limbs.
Congrats on your order.
