That's good information for wait times on current orders. Looking more for wait time on orders placed a year ago.

Norm is very good about getting back to people. Just send him an email and he will reply promptly.

Talked to him the other day and he was going to be gone for awhile on a trip. So if he dosn't respond right away thats why.

Last I talked to him, a week or so ago, he told me bows ordered early June would be completing this month and mine (mid June) would be finishing the end of the month into mid August.  As stated above, he said he'd be hunting 1 - 10 August.  Hope this helps.

I would count on it being right at 15 months from the time that you ordered it until you receive it. I ordered my Snakebit on January 6th 2009 and it was delivered to my door on April 1st 2010.

Well worth the wait........and less than a week after receiving it I was back on his list for an Elite VL.

cyred4d -
You were exactly correct. I sent Norm an email and I got an answer back within the hour. And oh man am I excited. He said my bow should ship in Early to Mid September and .... this is the part that get's me... Norm said "I look forward to making your bow. I've got some really fantastic Snakewood in stock." Can you imagine Norm saying something looks fantastic? Oh boy...

Go to the following link and click on Snakebit Bows.  You'll see some sample pics of the Snakebit bows there.  The primary wood in the riser is Snakewood.  He also foots the limbs with Snakewood.

I'll save you a couple clicks. Here's my Snakebit;

   

One of the finest bows ever built.

Sounds like your ready for your bow Bill. What configuration did you go with? The Elite VL I had at Denton Hill performs every bit as well as my Snakebit. Norm's got it goin on!

Bill,you'll be lost on your Snakebit.They are for sure the most appealing bow ever made secon only to the Bighorn special edition 2000,that had the ebony and snakewood as well.I received mine in April after some 16 mos waiting.

You got the right idea String Cutter. $100 down and make payments monthly. It'll be paid off before the bow ships!

I could never wait that long for a bow. Way too many others out there with a lot shorter wait time!

Somethings are worth the wait!

Take grand babies for example. I'm told they are worth the wait.

I guess I'll find out if and when she arrives...lol
