I'd have to shoot it before I'd consider buying one.

I haven't owned one, but I have had the opportunity to shoot one 62"/62#.  They have nice tapers and nice craftsmanship.  Not the highest performance recurve I've ever shot and the grip is a traditional modified target style handle that I'm not a big fan of.  The shelf work is extremely nice - possibly the best since Bighorn Custom.  It did shoot nice and the hand vibration was minimal.  I'd rate it better than the Black Widow and just a touch behind the Asbell/Bighorn Custom.  That's pretty darn good company if you ask me.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Never shot one but I think they are generally regarded as one of the best recurves out there. Certainly beautiful.

Norm is a great guy, known him for years.  Get your order in now and you'll have it all paid off when it finally arrives.

I'm officially jealous!   :tup:  What wood combo are you getting?

Maybe some day I'll get a one-piece Blacktail or heaven forbid....a Snakebit!   :IBCOOL:
