Made the mistake of stopping by his shop while on vacation. :rolleyes: Had to order another. #1 is just like yours. This one will be more contrasting woods. I went with highly figured Myrtle footed with Coco and the limbs will be Myrtle with Coco tips. A little more light/dark. Same weight so I can switch back and forth with ease. 66" and 57@ 31. I just heard from Norm today and it ships next week :yike: 18 months. Kinda like having a baby, only longer. :chuckle:
Pics to come!
It will look alot like my youngest son's bow...myrtle and Bolivian Rosewood.

yeah, 6'6" with a 6'8" wingspan My oldest son is 6'9" with a 6' 11" wingspan LOL he does shoot traditional,,,,,and when he shoots his compound, let's just say there a little bend in his bow arm. :chuckle:
What kind of arrows you shoot? Probably can't get woodies long enough? I'm building myself a set of doug fir that are footed with wenge, they were 34" to start with.

Those are going to be beautiful arrows, Tree Killer, and they will pack a wallop!

I want the blacktail mainly because that's what I intend to hunt with it. I hope Norm would build me one as magical as TK's obviously is.

Well now I just talked to Robert of Black Widow Bows for the helluva it and he almost got me convinced to buy one of his Cocabola and Yew backed recurves. I'm so torn between that and the Blacktails Snakebit I'm at the point to flip a coin between the two. The Black Widow is a little more expensive so it's gotta be better right?

Grip and delivery is the only part where I believe a Widow has the advantage. If you can remain patient I'd still go with the Blacktail. Their limbs are just soooo much better IMO.

I'm sure it had more to do with the man behind the bow, not the bow itself :chuckle:Norm makes one of thee finest recurve bows around! They shoot just as nice as they look! Have had mine for 8 years... 64" 60#@29" Bocote & cocobolo

Anyone own one? sure thinking about ordering one,they look nice
If you order a new Blacktail, all the packaging that comes with the bow has one of my buck photographs on it. :)
