Recently received my brand-spanking new Columbian longbow from Norm and Alan at Blacktail. 43# @28 and 62". Sweet shooting and all the other usual superlatives apply. This model has just recently been re-introduced and wondering if any y'all (http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah164/dmmorr2/062_zpsud9diht5.jpg) (http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/dmmorr2/media/062_zpsud9diht5.jpg.html) have one and if so what might be your impression. This bow handles a wide array of arrows and (http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah164/dmmorr2/061_zpspucumxgu.jpg) (http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/dmmorr2/media/061_zpspucumxgu.jpg.html) (http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah164/dmmorr2/055_zpsil3tpswb.jpg) (http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/dmmorr2/media/055_zpsil3tpswb.jpg.html) spines.

Forgot to mention the woods combo. Riser-Bolivian rosewood/highly figured myrtle. Limbs-bamboo with highly figured myrtle veneers.
Very nice!
That is a beauty. Best of luck with it.
My friend has one that is now too heavy for him, yet he refuses to sell it.
He keeps thinking he can get back into it.
That is loyalty.
Absolutely lovely. Enjoy that beauty!
Good lookin' stick!

That's a beauty! I have an Elite VL on order. I can't wait!
Very nice! Good luck this season
A very attractive bow!
I have been eye balling these myself. Love the look of that bow.
Real nice looking bow. Congrats.
She's a beauty, congrats!
My girlfriend just told me that I get the same look in my eye when look at bow pics here, that most guys do when they "read" Playboy. I took it as a compliment. :bigsmyl:

Glad Norm brought back his longbow.
Awesome!
Glad for you.
Great looking bow. If I didn't have one of his previous Columbians I'd be ordering one of these.
very nice looking bow! you can't get much purdier than a Blacktail, and they shoot great, to boot!
Geez.... now i am in serious trouble!! That is a gorgeous longbow.... i want one!!!
I would sleep with that bow!
I haven't but I've come close. :bigsmyl:
That is a beautiful bow. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope to see more of it.
Very nice....... :thumbsup:
I have a feeling you will Jon. Not sure of the actual definition of "mojo", but this bow has it.
