I have a Crow Creek Mag. It's Elmers short riser. The Blackfeather is a longer riser. Very nice bows, smooth, quick and quiet with no hand shock. Elmer is one of the best bowyers I've ever dealt with also.

Here is his Photobucket gallery of different wood combos if you haven't seen it.

Elmer is one of the nicest guys that you'll ever talk to.......and be prepared to chat for a while if you call him. He builds a very high performance bow that isn't hard on the eyes. I wouldn't hesitate one bit in having him create me another bow....sight unseen. He has an eye for what "looks good" together. Here's a few pictures of a 62" Blackfeather that he built for me.

I have 2 blackfeathers and they shoot better than they look. They are my favorite bow. They have 0 hand shock and they are fast. I love the finish on them it looks like frost and holds up well. I plan on owning another.

I've owned 3 Crow Creek Blackfeathers (62, 62 and 66").  I've found the 66" works best for me, and it's my go to bow.  All are made to be around after you and I kick the bucket.  I have no problem recommending the boywer, or his bows.

I have a blackfeather a crow mag and a dalton.  I love the way each of them shoot but the dalton is my favorite.  It is so light I think Elmer should have called it the "Crow Feather".  It is a 1 piece and I had to ship it when I flew home last year to hunt.  However, the blackfeater was broken down and fit in my suitcase.  

That being said if space is an issue the blackfeather or crowmag will easily fit the bill.  Can't go wrong with either one.

Once in a great while you will find one of Elmer's bow on the TG bows for sale section.  I got my blackfeather and crowmag that way.  Finding someone willing to part with their Crowcreek bow seems to be pretty hard to do.  I'm thinking there must be a reason why.
