Norm is like a god. Not THE GOD, but a god. Awesome looks, and great shooters too. Congrates on a fine bow.

She's a beauty TJ! Love the grain on the limbs. Great wood combo. How long did you wait? Now you can say it was worth it! Enjoy!

Stunning!
I'd love to get hold of one of Norm's bows, eventually.

Snag, when I ordered Norm told me 12-13 months.  It was a little over 9 months.  Just a guess but I'd say the economy has brought on many cancellations for custom bow's.

TJ, 9 months would put my order being filled near my birthday. Great present! I hadn't considered the effect the economy would have on this too.  
So, how does it shoot? When I picked mine up at his shop Norm gave me some 80-85# ACME arrows to go out and try it. Couldn't believe how great those arrows flew out of that bow!

Snag, I've shot some 2016's and 3555 Gold tips out of it.  I think the 3555's are going to be good after the string settles in and I tune it.  I've always heard they like a stiff arrow.  But I've got to try what I have on hand first.  I know you own a couple Blacktails so If I can't get them to fly absolutely perfect I will P.M. you for some advice.

It sure is smooth to draw and the speed is more than I'm used to.

Thanks T.J.
