Just wondering who has one of the latest Blacktail longbows, either one piece or take-down? I have a Blacktail on order and am very interested. I have always had recurves but want a longbow. Curious as to the shooting characteristics and looks. Please post pictures if you have one. Thanks!

I'm a recurve guy too, Blacktail recurves in particular. The new three piece longbow really has my attention though.

I've been thinking about ordering the three piece Columbian. I'm just waiting until I hear some reviews. I currently have the one piece Columbian and it's a good shooter so I imagine the three piece will hold its own.

I would buy one simply based on my phone conversations with Alan and Norm. They only build great bows.

I have a 3pc on order, so can't comment just yet. In my discussions with Alan, the design of the 3pc lead to a modification in the 1pc. My 1pc isn't the same as the one being produced now . . . I do know my 1pc is very smooth and quiet, and like with all of the Blacktails, are built to perfection!

I shot one a couple weeks ago here in town. Absolutely gorgeous bow. I shot about six arrows is all so hardly a comprehensive test, but it was dead quiet and dead in the hand. Very nice!! Looking forward to seeing the takedown.

X2 Stringmaker. I'm a longbow fan and had been waiting a long time for them to build one in a t/d. On the build list now and looking forward to it!

Well, this is an older thread. So, I will say that I now have owned a one piece longbow for a number of months and love it! It shoots smooth, quiet and nearly as fast (in my judgement) as my recurve at the same weight. The truth is I have never owned a bow that I could shoot so well! It is forgiving to an amazing degree. I like it so much I now ordered a take-down longbow. They, like all Blacktails have proven to be amazing bows!

I posted last summer the picture of my new BT longbow! Love this bow! I own 3 recurves and ordered this longbow because I am a BT junkie! It shoots great, smooth draw, fast and just a GREAT bow! I managed to shoot a antelope with it last fall and a buck here in WI with it! If and when you get one, you'll fall in love with the workmanship and looks! Its a GREAT BOW! Norm and Alan are both Great People to work with! Met both of them a the BPS Banquet in Madison, WI and now know why thier bows are great! Great People!
Enjoy Your New Bow and Good Luck
this fall!
PS: Mine is 64", 54# @ 28"!

Can anyone compare to other 3 piece hybrids, such as ACS, Silvertip, Morrison, Robertson, etc?

Hi Paul, At PBS I should have brought my Morrison and a chrono. Bet we could have found some spot to shoot. Any chance you'd come to Ojibwa's shoot?
I was contemplating a Blacktail, but went with a Raptor, because Border could make the grip almost ILF sized. Blacktail was a little too beafy for me. That said I'm still interested, they are beautiful.
Paul, what's your poundage. My Morrison is 50 at 29, and 53 at 28.
