Silvertip vs blacktail one piece recurves

[Gdpolk]

I'd try to find a used one to shoot for a bit before buying a new one. Having owned both briefly I can say the craftsmanship of both were outstanding and in the same league. However, I didn't like the grip on either bow that I had. It wasn't "wrong" but it just didn't work well for me.

Don't let the grip on the Blacktail scare you off. Every Blacktail I have owned has a modified grip. They have nailed it for me every time.

Ken, care to elaborate?

Woodpuppy,

What types of wood is your bow? very beautiful.

GWild, it's cocobolo and myrtle. The limbs are also myrtle with the tips footed in cocobolo. Boo cores.
