Anybody out there enduring the wait period on a custom bow? I'm in the middle of week 2 waiting on my new Lost Creek longbow. Feel like a kid waiting on Santa.
Let's hear about the bow you've got on order and how much time you have left in your sentence!

Waiting on a new Zipper SXT Evolution. The wait wasn't bad until about a week ago. That's when Bill told me my limbs were glued up and my riser was roughed out. :eek: Only problem is I leave for Dallas next tuesday. So the bow will probably arrive during the 2 weeks I'm gone. :banghead: At least I have a good reason to come back. :biglaugh:

Darren,
Touch base with them. I paid for a bow in full, up front. The bowyer usually doesn't have that happen, so it kind of fell thru the cracks. Most bowyers are used to some portion up front, the balance due on completion. When they see "Paid In Full", they may think the bow has been finished and sent. My bowyer was very apologetic and moved my bow to the top. As they say, "Feces occurs!!"

Waiting for a checkmate hunter II should get it around June or July. I bought one off of the adds here and had to order another after shooting it for a week . Chad is great to deal with! I am sure that the one I am waiting on will be as great of a shooter as my curent checkmate.
We all know it wont be our last waiting list to be on for bows though ;-)

Am I patient? probably more than most. Am I frustrated? A little. Sometimes I want to trade the bow just outta spite. :archer:

Waiting on a Foley custom recurve. After watching all my buddies go through numerous waits for various brands of bows, I finally took the plunge.
I've heard good things about Ron Foley's bows, but I'm ordering this bow without ever having shot one. Kind of a different way to go about it, but it adds to the suspense :)

60" 54@28 Purpleheart I-Beam/Kingwood riser, actionboo limbs, black glass on the back and brown glass on the belly.
It's been a long wait for this bow. I originally placed my order back in 4/2005....waited two years and when my name was up I had to pass due to being out of work at the time. So I had John push me back on the list. Called John at the end of Feb. and he said that I could expect it soon. Finalized the specs and just waiting.

I should have a Seigeworks GenIII around the end of the month. My first new bow. The wait has been taxing to say the least. Also waiting for some test arrows to be made. Everything looks to be timing out about right. Just wish I didn't have to wait a few weeks for my REAL arrows to come in after I test the bow and find out what is needed. Should all be worth it in the end.

I'm two days into my wait for my new "Sonic Flight" 3pc T/D longbow from Herrmanns Archery. I was supposed to be done but, I've heard so many good things about Fred's bows, I just had to have one. :D
But, unlike a lot of you, my wait is only going to be about a month. :D :thumbsup:

The bowyer gave me a nice discount for his tardiness and I have a really good bow that will last me the rest of my life. I'm shooting it really well too!

I ordered a bow from American Longbow 9 months ago and payed for it in full up front. I was told the wait would be 2 to 4 months. 31/2 months ago I received a call from Schulz saying my bow just had to be sprayed and would be shipped at the end of the week, that is the last I heard from him. I tried to call and his phone was disconnected . I sent several e mails that he refused to respond to, at this point I have no idea if I will ever receive a bow. I don't have a problem waiting but when a guy won't respond to you and has his phone disconnected you have to believe you are getting screwed. So you guys that are waiting and in touch with your bowyer consider yourselves lucky

Ater seeing a picture of BT Elite posted by cacciatorre I checked em out. I imagine I'll order one in next week or two. Norm said he is 13 months out. I can't decide TD or 1-piece though. I really like look of 1-piece and convenience of TD. Anyone have both Blacktail (TD and 1-Piece)care to compare? The Rose Oak Super Wildcat will be my only 1-piece to date.

At this point it has been a bit over 13 months.. hope to get one of the bows by summer and the second sometime shortly into summer.

I was about to wait 15 months on Blacktail Elite VL. However, someone (lefty) that ordered one changed their mind. I found out last Friday, bought it on Monday and received it this past Wednesday. I love the bow! One-piece, 62", 50.8# @ 28 inches, 46 at my 26 inch draw. Cocobolo riser footed with Myrtle and same patteron on limbs. The footing costs $150 extra. The grip is my first checkered grip (free option) and it feels amazing!

The feeling waiting on a new bow, especially when the due date is upon you is something. It is almost embarrassing... the anticipation. My wife (32 years) thinks I've gone completely nuts but I think she gets a kick out of the kid in me coming out.

I am waiting for a Howard Hill Archery "Tembo." The order went in at the end of March and it should be here mid May. Not too bad and it will be my first Hill.

Now I'm waiting on 2 but one is already made. I just need to get it paid for...lol Funding is sometimes a pain, maybe I need to sell something.???
I'll wait to disclose the second one until it gets here. I've already posted about the Mohawk Classic #2 68" and (46-50)@28.
Congratulations on your beautiful bow Jerry!!
God bless,Mudd

2 years on a bow that was promised for a 5 month wait. Thank goodness there was no deposit. From what I can tell I am still on the list & did speak with him 6 months ago. I was told at that time I was next. He will be surprised when he calls to say its done & I say forget it. Mike

Just orderd a ILF longbow from Bob and a Centaur from Jim and will be sending a deposit in for a Blacktail next week.
Things have really turned around for me since the divorce, by the grace of God my life is really headed in the right direction.
I just love these custom bows and cant get enough of them. :thumbsup:

I got the call from Big Jim one week ago today that he was starting the build on my 2pc Buffalo. Sleeping now with visions of Dalmation Ebony, Ziricote, Bamboo, Gemsbok, and Beavertail coming together to become a functional work of art. Life is good!
