Just want to let everyone know that one month has passed since I ordered my new Blacktail three piece takedown. I was on the waiting list for several months, not with Norm, but with my wife. I currently own a Hoyt Dorado, and this is a great bow. I shot a few Blacktails at a couple of local shoots and was immediately bit. I had to have one. The feel of the bow and the groups I shot were unbelievable. My grandfather was a carpenter, and my dad was a 60s tournament archer. His bow of choice was a Wing Archery Recurve in Brazilian Rosewood. There is something about a nice piece of wood that captures my eye. I guess it is genetic. Well, the other day my wife set up a golf course with some flags on sticks in our huge backyard. She asked me to play. No offense, but I don't play that game. She was playing with practice balls, and most of her shots were between 15 and 30 yards. After her begging me to play, I agreed that she could drive, or putt and I would shoot the stakes with my Dorado. I did extremely well. I was hitting her stakes almost every shot from whatever yardage she would assign me. I was using judo points to keep the arrows from digging. She then decided to hit some flyers and tempted me to shoot them with flu flu arrows. Never hit one but if they were pheasants I may have had a fire lit for cooking. I told her not to challenge me again, jokingly, and she said I may not need the Blacktail on order. OOOPPPPS. I had to backtrack fast. I have been told that this new bow is my 21st anniversary present at the end of the month, birthday, Christmas, Valentine and Fathers Day for the next year and not to expect anything else. My wife is great, but is very conservative with hobby money. Well, I will never brag on one bow when another that is the "dream bow" is on order. Let this be a lesson to all you guys.
