    Gifted Bows

    Well, my client closed on his new home right after Christmas and he asked me to stop by today to see something. Arrived and he presented me with these two bows, BEAR Grizzly and this takedown. He didn't know much about it, other than what he paid for it.

    At 28', what do yall think pounds would be?

    Takedown has "Custom for Curtis Horton," 45# @ 30" 64" Elite.

    That custom bow is a Blacktail!!! Those are fine and expensive bows!!! The Elite takedown recurves retail starting at $1300!

    If it’s 45#@30”, then it will probably be 39-40#@28”

      Thank you sir. I'm guessing I could order more limbs for it as I progress?

        I’m not sure that you could anytime soon. I have read that they are backed up for several years on custom bow orders, and as of Jan 1st they have ceased taking any new orders.

          I just looked on their website and it says they are only taking custom orders for the Legacy series bows. Those bows start at $4500!

            Wish I had clients like yours! That Blacktail
            Should be a fine shooting bow.

                  I just found the previous owner it was made for and will be reaching out to him soon to get some history.

                    That Blacktail is a dream find, let alone a gift! That is awesome!

                      As of this year, Blacktail will not build limbs for the Elite. It is a discontinued item. That is a nice bow. Should be about 40lbs at 28". That bow very well could have been built by Norm himself. It has some age on it.

                        Sweet. It's a smooth draw and feels good. Going to try and shoot both sometime this week. He has a hard case for the BT and said he has to dig it out of storage this week. Dawgkllr and I are going on the Shoot Out and thinking I will take these and try a stalk or two.

                          I need a better class of friends. None of mine ever gifted me a bow. Heck, they usually just eat all my food and leave.
