About a month ago, I called Elmer Patton and placed an order for one of his Black Feather longbows. I mentioned getting a plain "blood and guts" type bow to keep the cost down. Well, since I placed the order,and with my birthday approaching, my son contacted Elmer without my knowing it, and ordered an upgrade. So, here I was expecting a plain bow,and our three kids picked up the price difference to surprise me with an upgraded model. What a surprise, and a great gift. And I must say,great kids,too!
Here's the bow that was delivered yesterday. Cocobolo/figured myrtle riser, with burl myrtle over actionboo limbs. Both riser and limbs have ebony accents. 60" long and 56@28".

More pics! Elmers attention to detail is amazing. I need another of his 3 piece bows. Shooting a "Dalton" 1 piece right now, fantastic bows.
Nice, hope she is as sweet as she looks. Good luck.
Man that thing just look fast! What a beauty!!

I just got back from it's initial test drive, and I must say, it is a sweet shooter. It was too windy to do any tuning, but I think I'm fairly close already. And thanks for the compliments on the bow, though full credit goes to Elmer for his craftsmanship. I'd never even seen a Black Feather until mine arrived in the mail, but I'm certainly impressed.
And "yes", we must have done something right in bringing up our kids. The upgraded model looks awesome.
unique bow-takes a lot of looking
Great bow, and even better kids.
BEAUTIFUL,,,CONGRATS,,,ENJOY,,,
Beautiful bow! I have one of Elmer's Daltons. You won't be dissppointed. Enjoy!
