Come on in and sit a spell. There's a seat for you around the campfire.

Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.

Dennis, have you had the opportunity to shoot the Blacktail yet? Inquiring minds want to know. If that thing shoots anywhere near as good as it looks, you're gonna be needing new arrows soon!

Yes, I have. It's smooth, quiet and fast. The bow is only 46@28 and so far 2018 aluminum shafts (.464 spine) are too weak. I'm guessing I will need a 300 or 400 spine for this bow. I'm also waiting for some wood shafts Paul Jalon with Elite Arrows, who's going to send me some spine appropriate arrows to paper tune with. It's a fun bow to shoot for sure.
