Just bought a Blacktail Elite. 47@ 28
Can't wait to get it ! Anybody have opinions on these ?
I've had three black tails. So far the VL Elite is my favorite. It was a very consistent, stable bow for me. Fast flight?
They are great bows. Built to last and beautiful, easy to tune, quiet and pretty quick. I recently got one of their 3pc Columbian longbows and love it.
I am assuming it is a FF model. It is brand new, better check that out before I make a bad mistake. Would think all new bows would be able to use FF string material. I will post pictures when it arrives.
Blacktail bows started to use FF strings many eons ago. They make a step farther, they will provvide you string lenght, serving size and also loops sizes in their user's
Booklet. Enjoy a fabolous bow
I just picked up a three piece off the classifieds. I love it.
Norm started making all his bows FF compatible around 1997.
Do show us photos of the bow once you have it.
I've had three Elite VL's and now a Sitka.
Nice bow....Congrats
Nice bows for sure... I have two and both are FF!
I currently have two Elite VLs and a Snakebit. My favorite is my 66" Elite VL. Very smooth and being cut 3/16" past center, makes it very forgiving of stiffer spines. Its hard to believe you will be disappointed. They shoot as good as they look.
I bought my first Elite VL around 2000. 14 month wait, and totally worth it. I have a second lighter weight Elite VL, and also recently got a Columbian T2 Takedown. I absolutely love 'em.
Congratulations!!
Only opinion I can offer is those puppies are gorgeous 👍

I love that myrtle too Chuck!
I've owned a LOT of custom bows over the years. When it comes to beauty and craftsmanship Norm's Blacktail's are in a league of their own
Hey gary, some solid opinions above from people who know what they are talking about. I've always wanted to shoot one of norms bows. You'll have to bring it to a shoot.
Sure thing Charlie, maybe we can find something this winter
I had a all myrtle BT, both riser and limb veneers. I sold it and regret it. It was a very nice recurve and a joy to shoot.
If you read this and have my BT let me know if you want to sell it back to me :pray:
here it is, I am very happy with it
another for some reason I can only post one pict at a time
looks like Bocote and yew on the limbs, not sure about other riser wood
Purdy!!! Nothing like a new (or new to you) bow.
Might be Shedua with that Bacote in the riser.Enjoy!
Nice looking stick!!!! If you decide to go with the antler burr limb bolts, let me know. I have a set a took off my Blacktail I would make you a great deal on!!!!
