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. [email protected]

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
