Norm called the other day.
« on: October 20, 2010, 11:05:00 PM »
Norm called me the other day to let me know my turn in line for my blacktail is just a few weeks away. I was patient but now knowing I am that much closer I am anxious to say the least. You other blacktail fans know how this is. Help keep me patience over this last part of the wait.   :help:

Waiting on a Blacktail (or any other great custom) sure tempts one to violate Grandma's admonition not to wish one's life away!  

I've happy for you and even happier that those of us on THE list will move one notch north!

How long you been on the list, I put an order in last December for my second Blacktail, just wondering if he is still in the 13 to 15 month time frame.  Getting a Bow from Norm is kinda like waiting on Christmas, you know it's gonna come, but there is nothing you can do to hurry it up.  It,s worth the wait.  R.W.

That call is torture, extreme torture!    :biglaugh:   But now there is light at the end of the tunnel. The bad part is after you have decided on the woods you'll wonder what it will really look like when you get it in your hands....how am I doing Helo? haha  
Take a deep breath. You are about to receive one of the finest (I believe THE finest) recurves being built anywhere in the world today! You lived just fine without it for how many years? A few more weeks will be just fine.....sure glad it's not me! haha  I've got 10 months to go.
I look forward to seeing it Helo! Congrats.

I got the same call last Thursday as well. Tic, Tic, Tic ---- I can't wait.

R.W. - I got on the list last October so we're looking at 12 to 13 months. Just like Norm told me.

On Monday I placed my order with Norm for a one-piece Blacktail Snakebit w yew limbs and accents.  He said he was about a year out.

I have a TD Elite VL to help me get through the wait.
