I was fortunate enough to contact Mr. Patton at the right time as he was finishing up a brand new Black Feather, which matched my specs. perfectly. I received it on Saturday and have shot it a bit and I must say this is the most forgiving longbow I have ever had. Smooth as butter on the draw and no shock whatsoever. She is 62" and 49# @ 28". Mr. Patton had added a stabilizer adapter, which made the riser a bit larger than I prefer but this was a small price to pay for a real shooter. Beautiful Cocobolo/Myrtle riser with figured Myrtle veneers and nice limb caps/tips to match the riser. My pictures aren't the best and do not provide the justice this bow deserves.

That is a good looking bow! I passed one up on the classifieds. I wanted a 64" and it was 62". I wish I would have went ahead and got it.
-
I like dark brown bows a lot. This one sure looks nice.
-
I know a couple of people with Elmer's bows and they both have had great success with them. Good luck!

Doug, Congrats, she's a beauty!

I just picked up a crow mag and I love it. I was told that Mr. Patton was no longer making bows. But it looks as if he is still in business. Very nice bow, love the wood combo you got a nice one enjoy

Very Nice!

Not to step on/high jack the topic but,
I have a Crow Creek - Black Feather - 62" - 48# @ 28" - not as pretty as D. Keys bow but is in great shape and looks/shoots great that I will sell. If interested shoot me a PM.

I think he makes of the nicest looking 3 PC longbows.I had the Crow Creek Mag and the Black Feather.Both were extremely well made with excellent fit and finish.
Good luck with her!
-
That is a beaut!
I hope my wife doesn't see me drooling over that because I just bought a new bow... she may not appreciate me getting all worked up over another bow!
-
Thats a beauty!
-
Sweet bow! My buddy Knobby shoots lights out with his!
-
He's not really in business. He originally started that Black Feather a couple of years ago. The original buyer didn't want it after completion, so Elmer remade it. It's a beautiful bow. Hold on to it. It may be the last Black Feather made.
-
Just to clarify
When I say "not really in business" I mean that he doesn't take a bunch of orders. He can't get in the shop frequently enough to pump out bows like some demand. It can take him a while for one.

Beautiful bow.
