I received my Blackfeather from Elmer Patton yesterday and got around to taking a few pics. This is a 62 inch bow and is 56lbs at 27 inches. This is my first custom longbow made to my specs and sure is a sweet shooter. Thanks Again to Elmer for working me in his busy schedule. :thumbsup:

The woods are Bocote and Ziricote and the 2 arrows side by side were at 20 yards and the low one was at 25 and a different angle. I am still tuning but can already tell this will spend some time in the bush this season. Life is GOOD... LOL

Wow!! Great looking bow Ron!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Congrats Ron!! Great looker for sure!!<><
Nice bow!! I have one Elmer made me a while back with recurve limbs and later had him make me some longbow limbs. Sweet shooters for sure.
Very nice!!!
Oh Man Ron, that is a beaut! And you even had it made to my exact specifications! :saywhat:
Hey Ron... Hope she shoots as nice as she looks. :bigsmyl: I'll have to get a closer look when our paths cross again. Jeff
awsome!!
Vary nice Ron, does Elmer have a web site?
As nice a looking bow as any I have seen...congratulations!
What a pretty and nicely shaped riser.
Elmer is low tech bowhunter97. About all he has is a phone. He still builds every bow by hand.
OOOOOooooohhhhhhhh!
Great lookin bow Ron. I love that wood combo! Always have!
Ron,
That is really a great looking take down longbow. Like "the Ferret" said, a very nicely shaped riser. Supper wood combo also. Nice shooting.

Wow Ron, that is sweet!! Light enough even I might be able to pull er back, say, maybe next ATAR?
Congrats!!
Really good looking bow Ron, 2 of my favorite woods. Looks like it shoots real good too. If you get tired of it let me know.
Real nice bow Big Ron ! I really like the lines of the Black Feather and your wood combinations are great. Hope it lets the air out of many whitetails this fall.

Looking good Ron. Just think, it's my fault you bought that pretty bow aint it? Elmer is making me another one now. They are addictive.

Mike
Beautiful bow Ron, looks like you can sho nuff shoot it too.
Very nice bow and good shooting too. Congratulations!
JC, I wish I could shoot it that well on a regular basis but hopefully it will come with time.
Mike, I already have two more coming this month, I hope. Can't have too many bows...Right?
Dave, I will keep you in mind but I doubt this one will go anywhere.
Thanks again Fellas.
Ron I'm glad you like your new bow. I hope it has many kills in the near future. Dad is never satisfied with his work, but I guess thats what keeps him building them one at a time. I sent you a email with a few questions. Looking forward to hearing from you.
