Title: Dressed for the dance...
Post by: A.S. on February 02, 2016, 02:12:00 PM
My new Blacktail that is!   I just put the finishing touches on it.  I added a Thunderhorn Lynx quiver.  They do such a good job at matching the leather to the colors in the bow. I have never been disappointed in any quiver that I have bought from them.  The rubber straps act as vibration dampeners, they really work nice.

And to top it all off, a brand new dozen arrows from Gary Hall at D&M Custom Arrows.  I have always been a do-it-your selfer when it comes to just about everything. After getting to know Gary over the past year, and seeing his beautiful work....well, I just couldn't resist!      :rolleyes:   I went with Beeman Centershot 600s, with PINK!!   :jumper:  

I hope to get it out on some 3D ranges VERY soon.

Loving those looks.  One of the prettiest bows I've ever seen. BTW that cedar string you made for my TC is gorgeous.

Alex, that Natural Cedar color in Fury is great. The string on my bow here is brow, Nat. Cedar w/2 black strands. It matches the woods in my boq perfectly.

Wow Allen!! Great looking bow, quiver, arrows and bow string. I especially like the contrast between the ebony and myrtle. I too found that my new Thunderhorn Lynx matched my bow colors perfectly. It's gonna hurt when you lose an arrow that pretty. How's it shooting?
Title: Re: Dressed for the dance...
Post by: DanielB89 on February 02, 2016, 05:50:00 PM
if they give awards for prettiest bows, you should win that one easily!  Let's hope you can shoot half as good as the bow looks!  ;)

Post by: Hopewell Tom on February 02, 2016, 05:51:00 PM
The whole set-up is beautiful.
I really like that quiver. I've been looking at a number of 4 arrow bow quivers and that may be the one I try.
Thanks for sharing.

The bow and quiver match very well. They are beautiful!

Michael, it shoots fantastic!  Tuning was a breeze.

I worry more about busting one of these pretty arrows with another arrow more than losing one. Guess I need to learn to be more careful.   :dunno:

Yep, I think you can walk on any 3D range with chest out and head held high! Or you could just be you. A handsome pair they are.

Wow, beautiful setup, Allen.  Much nicer than that "soulless" bow you were shooting in Baltimore last year.  Bring it this year. I have a new to me Blacktail I'll bring along.  Take care - Jeff

Too Cool Allen.  I hope Danny and Bill Play nice at the next shoot.  Hate to see those boys RobinHood one of those beauties.  Just my luck it will be me.  Woops... there goes the Cool Springs discount on strings.     :knothead:

Post by: highlow on February 05, 2016, 03:52:00 PM
Yeah, dem 'der Blacktails sure are one purty bow. Nice quiver too. But I couldn't in good conscience shoot those arrows. Too nice to lose or break, but that's just me. I'll look for that setup in Baltimore this year. You might also consider coming to the Whittingham shoot in Jersey the last weekend of April. Not that far from VA.

Thanks guys!  I will definitely be carrying it at Baltimore.  

David, I have never thought of attending Whittingham, I will look in to it.

Jeff, I worry more about scratching my bow on our bunny hunt next weekend, than tearing up a pretty arrow.  Both would probably make me shed a tear though!   :scared:    :scared:

Sweet set up man! It will look better with blood on it!

P.S. That string you made for my '62 Grizz looks great and makes the bow shoot 100% better    :notworthy:

How could Norm make such a beautiful bow and then put the shelf on the wrong side??!!
Quite a bow! Best of luck with it.

Beautiful.  Might be tough to hunt with.  The deer will sneak past you sit looking at your bow.

nice....love the quiver too...didn't know they made that model.

Terry, it is my favorite quiver. I have bought several of them.  The rod connecting the upper and lower parts is adjustable for different length risers.

Like we talked on the phone, I really love Blacktails and your wood combination is outstanding!  A very nice touch with the quiver and string and the reverse footed limbs was a good call.

Positively gorgeous, Allen.

Keep up the good work on your strings.

I have several and love them all.

Scott, I was pretty proud of myself that I resisted the urge to order one of the T2 Special Edition models from Blacktail.  I would be afraid to carry it out of the house.  They do incredible work, no matter which one you choose.

Looks great Allen. Can't go wrong with norm and gary.  Your strings add icing to a beautiful setup.

Post by: YORNOC on February 13, 2016, 03:12:00 PM
Maineac has a point....you might just have to buy another one. One to draw the deer in and drool, the other to shoot while they are tranced.
Very impressive. I regret cancelling my order for a Blacktail many years ago.
That was just plain dumb.

Micheal, Gary's feather work is very impressive.  The splices look seamless. Way above my talent level for sure!
