This new BT Sitka.
Beautiful lines, beautiful woods and excellent performance. Better than I can extract.
Being an artist my self Blacktails just appeal to my eye more than others out there and there are some awesome bows being built by many bowyers.
Yeah it cost a bit but I have no kids and at 64 life's getting to short to hunt with an ugly bow weather I kill anything or not with it.

I hope others post theirs.

My current favorite is my new Primal Tech bow! It's just a quiet, smooth draw, comfortable, repeatable grip and such a natural shooter for me. It's obviously beautiful as well.

A close second is my Bear take-down. The only advantage it has over the PT is that it is a "tool free" take-down. (Although I'm sure that I'll be able to get some different bolts and make it tool free also)

WOW..... That thing is sweet, I always wondered if they shoot as good as they look. You definitely not hunting with an ugly bow! I would be scared I would beat that thing up in the woods.

A 20yd group last weekend. Wish they all were this good.
Norm builds them just as tough as pretty. Certainly not just for looks. I've dropped my Elite VL

more than I care to admit and a couple times on concrete. Barely a scratch.
Get you one, as long as you don't tell the missus how much it cost.

yep, don't want the wife knowing I'm even thinking about buying a new bow never mind what I would spend on a Blacktail. I just bought a new bow a month ago and can't wait to see it be replaced with something else. I've put a few hundred arrows through it trying my best to like it but more I shoot it the less I like it. Not sure if a Blacktail would be in my wheel house but just want to see what's out there and how people like them.

Looking at a Sentman Razorback.

This one is a toss up. I have owned probably 100 different custom bows. I just like trying them all LOL. I have a 62" Schafer recurve that is as smooth as they come and shoots amazing. My go to bow though is a Tall Tines. It kills everything I shoot at and is tough as nails. Long bow wise the best I have ever shot was a Caribow Silver Fox. It is no slouch in the looks department either.

Probably just confused you more.

I really like my Bear Ausable longbow. I wouldn’t replace it with another longbow, but I may drop the coin on a Blacktail recurve. I currently have a Hoyt Buffalo and it’s ok.

Currently have the longbow on the left. This along with my other Big River bow, a 50's style recurve are my primary bows. John makes some incredible bows. My MOAB is in semi-retirement and the PBS auction KOTA has yet to see action.

The only 3 piece that I've got is a Stillwater Aberdeen recurve made by Gene McGlashen. It's super smooth, quiet, and fast. 60", 57@29.
I'll try and get a picture up at some point.

My favorite 3 piece is my Thunderhorn longbow. Not only is it a looker and a shooter but it’s also dead quiet, smooth, feels great in the hand.

RodL · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2019, 08:32:00 PM »

This is my favorite, 3pc takedown longbow, #47@28, 62". This bow is dead quiet when shot, and the grip fits my hand perfectly. It was built by Randy(crittergetter) at Primal Tech Bows.

Steve Jr · « **Reply #13 on:** April 23, 2019, 08:58:29 PM »

Wowsers Rod ...... Randy built you a beauty !

I'd really like to have one of these;

It's a Dryad "Orion" in Bocote(?).

As i draw 28.75", i'm not sure which riser length would suit me best (preferring to keep the bow smoooooooth). Keeping the weight down around 50lbs @ 28" would be nifty with those speedy ASC limbs they're sportin'.

Since i'm spending budget this miss. doesn't have, i'd add an extra set of limbs - 25-30lbs would do nicely.

While dreaming, i'd also like a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range as well....since that's about as likely as my shopping list above!

Thanks Steve, you should see it in person!! Buckeye Burl is an amazing piece of wood!

My first handmade bow was an Aberdeen. Sold it to a buddy. Working on getting it back.
