I have to admit, I find those feathers to be ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.  Snag, you got any of those?

I don't know how functional they are but I love the looks.

I love that bow and if I had the money for a bow like that I'm just goofy enough I would probably hunt with it

That is one great looking bow.  Norm has outdone himself!

If I could afford one like it I sure would own one. Just out of my price range. I'd have to sell a truck load of veneers to be able.

I've got an older Blacktail Elite, I'm betting this one shoots as beautifully as it looks!    :archer2:

the craftmanship in the bow is obvious.  This must be the most expensive bow on the market though.  The Legacy series is $4500 plus!

I like women w/ a lot less makeup but Norm did all the work himself? Then I can appreciate it so much more.

Very fascinating and well crafted bow!  Truly functional art.  Unfortunately where my taste is concerned it resembles a fine shotgun far too much I shoot bows to get me away from firearms LoL.  

The arrow fletching is quite a sight.  Very neat!  

A great example of what artists and craftsman can do when they can just go with it!

Only thing missing on that riser would be a coo-coo popping out on the hour!

Looks like some of those German carved ornate coo-coo (?) clocks

That bow is crying let me kill something and the arrows want blood on them. Peacock wing feathers are good for fletching. Really cool set up. If I had it I would hunt with it.

I'd buy that bow in a second and make it my bow fishing rig!   :bigsmyl:    :bigsmyl:

WOW - actually makes those Bighorn annual limited edition bows back in the 80's/90's seem simple.  Very cool.
