10 Months.............
Well, I'm waiting again. I just ordered a Blacktail Elite. 10 months is a long time to wait on anything. I guess you can't hurry quality. I decided to order a one piece this time. I never even unstring my take down. It's cocobola and chechin (footed riser) with yew limbs. 62" 50 lb @28" JRW, you've convinced me! Can't wait! Dick
ps. Sorry Chad.

Heck, no reason to apologize--lol. Sounds like a gorgeous bow, and Norm has a great reputation. The wait shows he is busy, which is a good sign. A friend of mine shoots a Blacktail and really likes it--bet you will too!

Dick,
I consider the Blacktail one of the top 3 prettiest recurves available.
Of course, my Trails End Medicine Point is the prettiest of all. :^)
Seriously, the Blacktail is beautiful. I'm sure you will love it.

RE: 10 Months.............
Dick,
Lord willing, sounds like you might have it in time for hunting season.
You're more patient than I am. Eight more months until WI deer season, and ten months until I get my head mount back. I'm starting to get anxious already.
At least I can start shooting carp in April or May.

Sounds like a beautiful bow, congrats on your purchase. Believe ME, the first few months will be slow, but it will get better. I waited 10 months so far on my OL Adcock and have 2 more to go. I conversed with OL a few days ago and it should be right on time.

Well, it looks like my wait will be over in another two months. I talked to OL the other day and it looks like all you guys ordering the the three piece bows has slowed him down a bit. This brings it to 14 months. No hurry though. The guy has some real demand for his bows.
