This is a 54#@28" Blacktail Elite VL, cocobola footed with bocote and bocote veneered limbs, accents are bloodwood and ebony and I think satinwood. It shoots like a champ! My attitude is a lot better when coming into work when I can find something like this on my desk! But yesterday was a looong day. I was wanting to get it strung up and shoot it so bad!
Sweet!
That is smokin' hot!!!
Nice looking bow, and I like how the wood on the front side is a natural camouflage look. Should be a lot of fun setting that one up.

Nothing prettier than a Blacktail, and yours is a really nice one!
Allan
The dog always tries to upstage the bow! lol
WOW, that looks like a great place to work!! Nice bow as well.
Tim
Thats exactly what I do when I don't want the mrs. to find out about my purchases...send them to work so that I can sneak them into the house. :D
Great looking bow, Norms work is first class.
Congrats. Tim
Swwweeeeeeeet! :bigsmyl:
Beautiful woods Snag!! Keep it away from that doggy he wants a chew!
Beautiful !
Bjorn, what he is looking for are those antler limb bolts! He loves to lick them...just a little taste of them...while I am around!
Great looking bow Snag. Congrats!
That may be the most beautiful bow I have ever layed my eyes on. Great choice of woods. I would say to send it down, but I only shoot 47#@28". Thanks for sharing. Ken
Nice looking bow Snag-how many is that now? I have a similar problem. When I find a make/model I really like I have to get a backup, then the backup becomes a first-stringer and I need another backup, ad nauseum. Nice problem to have, hope she shoots as good as she looks. Grant
Nice lookin arrow slinger there Snag.
Just received an email from Norm, think that I will take a run out to the coast and visit with him and talk bows. Norm said that he would also like to come and visit with me and see what I do at my artist blacksmith shop. Pretty sure that I see a Blacktail one piece recurve in my future.

Very Nice... Enjoy... Jeff
"I will not order another bow....I will not order another bow....I will not order another bow..." :pray:
Nice bow Snag ! I sure do love Bacote , to me its the best looking wood there is .
Mike
Hey Snag,
How many Blacktail's do you have now? I suppose that it is not necessary to ask how you like them?
All the best,
Oberon
Snag, that's a very pretty bow. Bet is shoots better than it looks. Frank
I'd almost switch to shooting right-handed for a bow that sweet.
Oberon, this is my second Blacktail currently. I have had others that just didn't work for me in poundage that I have had to sell. That's the problem...I sell one and another one pops up and bites me!!! lol I would love to see your blacksmith art! I love that stuff. I have been looking at some to hang on the wall and maybe a sign for a vacation cabin...?
JC, just keep saying that...lol...didn't work for me.
Grant, that is what is going on now. My other one is hanging up while the honeymoon with this one is in full swing. For some reason the other one I keep coming back to though. I think I will keep these two because I now know what I should be shooting, as far as, poundage is concerned...who am I kidding! lol
Hey Snag,
If you want to see my work look at my website

Hope you enjoy.
Oberon
Oberon! Wow, you doing some fanatastic things down there in Oakland! Love the elk fire screen! Did you cast the heads or is this all forged?
WOW!!
I love these threads where people come and post pics of their bows.
That is one BEAUTIFUL bow you have there....Congradulations on acquiring such a treasure. I bet it is gonna bring you years of hunting enjoyment and stories. Heck it'll do that even if you don't take anything with it. I'd be happy just to carry that bow on my arm in the woods even if I didn't have any arrows to go with it.
Seriously though, thanks for posting pics. That's a bow of a lifetime.
Nala
That's a beauty! Congrats! ;) :thumbsup:
:wavey:
Thanks for the comments guys. When things come together and you hold a bow like this in your hands...well I just feel very blessed to be able to use it.
Awesome!
Very nice
Thanx Snag, all forged.
Oberon
That is PRETTY and a work of art!
Thanks for sharing.
Snag, is this in addition to the one you have on order. I thought I remember reading you had one still 9 months out or so?
Beautiful bow.
Burnsie
Yes Burnsie I admit I have a one piece on order. I ordered this before I came upon this one.
Thats one sweet a## bow.
man that thang is purty.don't go draging it around thru the woods none.that would be a sacrilege.lol.have fun and enjoy.robert
Hi Robert! I'm not one to baby a shooter. But I will take care of it out in wilderness. Small dings give it character! It's just the first one that I will shed a tear over. lol
