Just bought a Blacktail Elite. 47@ 28
Can't wait to get it ! Anybody have opinions on these ?

I’ve had three black tails. So far the VL Elite is my favorite. It was a very consistent, stable bow for me. Fast flight?

They are great bows. Built to last and beautiful, easy to tune, quiet and pretty quick. I recently got one of their 3pc Columbian longbows and love it.

I am assuming it is a FF model. It is brand new, better check that out before I make a bad mistake. Would think all new bows would be able to use FF string material. I will post pictures when it arrives.

Blacktail bows started to use FF strings many eons ago. They make a step farther, they will provvide you string lenght, serving size and also loops sizes in their user’s
Booklet. Enjoy a fabolous bow

I just picked up a three piece off the classifieds. I love it.

Norm started making all his bows FF compatible around 1997.
Do show us photos of the bow once you have it.
I've had three Elite VL's and now a Sitka.

Nice bows for sure... I have two and both are FF!

I currently have two Elite VLs and a Snakebit. My favorite is my 66" Elite VL. Very smooth and being cut 3/16" past center, makes it very forgiving of stiffer spines. Its hard to believe you will be disappointed. They shoot as good as they look.

I bought my first Elite VL around 2000. 14 month wait, and totally worth it. I have a second lighter weight Elite VL, and also recently got a Columbian T2 Takedown. I absolutely love ‘em.

Congratulations!!

I've owned a LOT of custom bows over the years. When it comes to beauty and craftsmanship Norm's Blacktail's are in a league of their own

Cyclic-Rivers · « **Reply #18 on:** November 21, 2019, 07:42:18 AM »

Hey gary, some solid opinions above from people who know what they are talking about. I've always wanted to shoot one of norms bows. You'll have to bring it to a shoot.

Sure thing Charlie, maybe we can find something this winter
