My 66" Blacktail Elite V/L TD recurve. Riser is Cocobolo footed with Shedua separated by Myrtle. Limbs are bamboo over laid with stained red elm veneers. Limb tips are cocobolo.

Here's a thread from last year I looked at quite a bit when I was trying to choose for my bow.  Seems like it had quite a few pictures on it, but some of them may have been deleted by now.

I hope to be posting some pics of a new one before much longer!

Good luck!
