I've been anxiously awaiting this package for about 15 months now. Today was the day, the mailman knocked on the door and handed me this.

I've never seen a Blacktail in person, but have heard only good things about them. No... only great things!

Congrats!

So, where are the rest of the pics???

Don't open it Don! It's a trick. Send the box to me and I will check it out for you. Besides, don't you have to work for a few days. Be a shame to let it JUST sit there!

Well......Matt, you weren't entirely "wrong". It is a recurve, but there is another set of limbs that goes with it. They are all myrtle, but the ones that I had the chance to take some pictures of today are cocobolo and myrtle.

More pictures will follow, if I can find the time to put the other set of limbs on her tomorrow and snap a few pics. The myrtle on the footed limbs isn't to shabby either, but the other set of limbs are "very nice" also.

Thanks......everyone, I am going to have to send one of the footed limbs back to Norm because apparently something was loose in the box and knocked a hunk out of the finish on the belly of the bottom limb about the size of a pencil eraser.
