G'day guys,
Well I see Blacktail bows have released a new model, a 3 piece take down longbow. Not that I need another bow - I have two really nice 3 piece recurves as it is - but... they sure do look nice!
Has anyone given one a test drive? Bought one maybe?
If I was to order one it'd be just a standard bow for me... I'd be way to frightened to even shoot some of the bows that company put out!
Cheers,
AK.
Profile looks a lot like the Morrisons I had.
Those do look nice!Well this may cost me :D
I love the looks of the design. It reminds me of my t/d Horne Brushbows.
I seem to shoot better with a recurve and have a Sitka on order now.
Wow! That there is some sure pretty bows :eek: :scared: Haven't been to the site and that sure was an eye opener :eek:
The profile on that bow is sweet!
Reminds me of a Rivers Edge
I just shot his new takedown last week and it's definitely a high performer. No hand shock, quiet, fast shooting, a dream bow for me. He will tweek the one piece to look like the 3 piece so it will perform like it to. Plus for a guy who always shot 64" bows it was exciting to shoot a 62" with such ease and success to so I'll be getting one this spring.
DAMN! that guy has some serious skills doesn't he! I was just on his site and....WOW. Unreal. rat'
I thought I was done buying blacktails.....have a takedown and 2 one piece recurves....this takedown longbow looks really nice....
Out of all the bows I've owned and shot over the years Blacktail have eluded me...
Might have to change that.
And for those who like ease of tuning; the sight window is cut 1/8" past center. The site originally said 1/16, but was updated to 1/8".
Man, I have to start saving my change for one of those. I really like 3 piece longbows.
Hey, mate! That's the spirit!
I didn't get a chance to shoot it, but it sure looked sweet! Here is Norm's personal bow.

That's a cool picture Ryan. Those are some great looking bows for sure!
Thanks for that Ryan... They sure do look nice!
Thank you Rick! We had a great time chatting bowhunting.
Al, I might spoil myself this year! ;)

What is the wait time on these?
If I'm not mistaken about 6-8 months on a custom order.
Here's their contact email. info@blacktailbows.com
Do it, do it!
If you're ever down this way again Al, a few of the local boys have blacktails you could shoot.
And we'll squeeze in a Sambar hunt too.
Anyone else have some recent photos/order updates??
Oh. No.
I just received a new Blacktail riser (built for an older set of extra limbs). I wasn't interested in the older D-bow design, but a R-D longbow? My wife's gonna kill me... :scared:
...I'm also on Mike Treadway's list for a Black Forest. Guess I better see what I can sell out of the safe!!
I am so financially screwed LOL. Another damn bow to get. LOL
