Title: New Blackfeather Recurve limbs
Post by: tradspirit on August 16, 2010, 08:57:00 AM
Elmer Patton (Crow Creek Archery) made a gorgeous set of new recurve limbs for my Crow Creek Blackfeather r/d, t/d longbow.  I posted some pics on the *********** and have attached a link so that you can see the workmanship and quality that has made Crow Creek and Elmer's creations so desirable.   :thumbsup:

The bow is an incredible performer at 52#@28in.  Elmer is a super bowyer and has now become a personal friend.  Check out his site for more information.  Here is the link to his site:

I saw your earlier posts and contacted Elmer to make me a set as well.  When I bought the bow originally he wasn't building recurve limbs for the Blackfeather.  When I found out that he was, I jumped on it.  Sure glad I did.  He really is an artist and a super bowyer!
take care,
Jim

I just called Elmer yesterday and asked him to build a set for my Black Feather riser.  I shipped the entire bow to Elmer for him to refinish.  Now he's going to build a set of matching recurve limbs for me to boot!   :)  

Here's a reminder pic of my Black Feather:

The limb bolt pads and limb tips are birdseye maple and ebony.  The ebony on the limb bolt pads will be angled as on the riser.
