Title: Meet "Black Lightning"
Post by: Danny Rowan on June 30, 2012, 10:27:00 AM
I have owned three Blactails and just traded for this one. All of my others were 60", this is the first 62" Blacktail I have owned. The one thing I did not like about the others I have owned was the grip, seemed to be too sharp if you know what I mean and hurt my bow hand after shooting for a while, the grip on this one is perfect. I have had her for about a week and just cannot get enough shooting her. Smooth as silk out to my 29" draw, she is B/W ebony footed with gaboon ebony in the riser and limbs. 57#@29"

I am a very happy camper and she is becoming a very good friend. Named her "Black Lightning" cause some of the streaks in the B/W ebony in the limbs remind me of Lightening bolts.

Blacktails present their own mystique however this one seems to present something a little more unique.

Congrats and pleased to hear that you two are consubstantial.
