As of yesterday, I'm a bow carrying member of the Blacktail Snakebit club! (Thanks again to R.W. Mackey!).
Just thought I would show mine off. Now I just have to get my shoulder healed to I can shoot it! :banghead:
How many other "members" are out there??

Nice! I think that's the first Snakebit I've seen with macassar ebony. Pretty snakewood in your bow.
I'm an aspiring member and should be a full fledged member in a couple weeks or so. The first 18 months went faster than the final two weeks...lol.
Allen,2 lefties reside here!The Snakewood is so personal that no 2 bow are alike.Excellent shooters and I rate them in the top ones I have owned.
Fantastic Allen!
Thanks guys! Felix, I knew you had two. I was just in awe when I opened the box yesterday.
Tod, don't worry...it's well worth the wait.
The grip on this bow is probably the best I have ever held.
Barry, I built an 8 strand Ultra Cam string with out Double Katz silencers, and she is as quiet as any recurve that I have owned. ;)
Well Allen,I need 2 of those strings for my Snakebit 1-60" and 1-62".Please say Barry I pay you directly then you'll adjust with him;single Kats,to be 7 1/2" brace.Black and red.Thanks
Very nice bud!!
Congrats, Allen! Beautiful bow :thumbsup:
I have one with two sets of limbs. The myrtle is the tiger stripe variety, as your's also appears to be. Easily the most gorgeous bow I own out of my four dozen beautiful custom bows. Norm is a great guy, an outstanding bowyer, and a woodcrafter supreme.

Allan,
With a torn up shoulder you are still buying. You are incorrigible,lol. Another beautiful bow.
Man it's gonna be hard dropping that beauty down a rope from a treestand banging it all all the llimbs on the way down. Then it will surely bounce off one of the limbs and bang into a metal step, sticks or ladder and leave a love mark on it. When it happens buddy don't cry, its a character mark not a ding.
Great looking Blacktail.

I can't shoot, so I may as well trade bows Tom!
TJ, this one is so shiny, I don't know if I can make myself take it hunting. It may just have to be 3D bling!
Wow thats a beautiful lefty. Congrats Allen
A.S. hey buddy if he is that close to see the glossy finish, you would have him in the back of the truck taking his final ride!!!!!! good luck BEAUTIFUL BOW!
:thumbsup: Congrats Allen!!
Very nice bow hanging in that Pin Oak! Congrats to you.
See that telephone pole in the background? The biggest live 8-point I've seen was standing just too the right of it last year in early November.
I dream of the day I get snakebit. Absolutely beautiful.
Beauty!

That is awesome Roy! I hope you don't mind me borrowing your pics. It is rainy here today, so I didn't want to take her out and get her wet!
Welcome to the club Allen. Another fine looking piece of work by the master. I agree Norm's grips are the BEST!
