I got a "Sneak Peek"
« on: July 17, 2011, 09:16:00 PM »
As most of ya'll know.........I already own a very beautiful Blacktail "Snakebit" and have had it since April Fools Day of 2010. About 3 days after I recieved my first Blacktail recurve, I put myself back on Norm's list for an Elite VL with two sets of limbs.

I am a very patient person......and I do just fine "up until" I get the call to finalize exactly what I want with the bow. I, once again, opted for the gloss finish and this time I even had him checker the grip for me. Norm emailed me this evening with a "sneak peek" at what I will have in my hands before the end of this week.

The bad news is........that I work 7 days on and then 7 days off and most likely it won't arrive in time for me to be able to shoot it until after the 27th of this month.

But..........I should be able to have all the drool cleaned off of it before then.

Don, do you ever clean out those other gorgeous bows that you bought while waiting for this one to get there? Now I realize that while you were buying some great bows that they were just holding your place in line for Norm's bows!   :laughing:  Can't wait to see the pics. What weight limbs are you getting?

In my opinion, Norm makes the most beautiful bows in the world -- maybe even the most beautiful wood products in the world! He is a true master. And the bows shoot great too.   :notworthy:  I ordered my Snakebit with 45# and 55# limbs, and it is absolutely spectacular.

Mike,

Nope........I only "clean out" the ones that I don't shoot consistantly. I can always get another bow rack built.  :bigsmyl:  

One set is reverse footed and one set is some real nice myrtlewood veneers I had IdahoCurt send to Norm for me. 45# @ 29".......and 52# @ 29". As soon as I can get the picture uploaded to photobucket, I'll post it. Grandchildren are keeping me busy at the moment......its "bath time".

The picture is before the final buffing out on the gloss finish, so it'll look even better after he's totally finished with them.

I wonder if the myrtle is from the batch that South made my limbs from. Any way, if it is from Curt is is amazing veneers. Have fun with bath time!

Most likely it is.........I think I remember you getting yours around the same time I got mine.

Anyways..........bath time is over.

And here she is......
