Sitka Series

---

The new Sitka Series bow is our latest addition to the Blacktail line! 

Specifically designed for those who prefer a shorter length bow, the Sitka is ideally suited for tight shooting situations such as tree stands and ground blinds.    

The Sitka bow is named in honor of the beautiful 'Sitka' Blacktail deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis).  Sitka deer are characteristically smaller than their larger cousin the Columbian Blacktail deer (Odocoileus hemionus colombianus). Like its namesake, the new Sitka bow incorporates a smaller 16" riser (compared to the Elite VL's 19" riser). The new riser design allows archers with longer draw lengths to comfortably fit into a shorter length bow if desired. 

Recommended Sitka Series Bow Lengths

• 56" Bow Length is best suited for a 24"-28" Draw Length
• 58" Bow Length is best suited for a 26"-29" Draw Length
• 60" Bow Length is best suited for a 27"-30" Draw Length
• 62" Bow Length is best suited for a 28"-31" Draw Length

The Sitka design maintains all of the best characteristics of the proven Elite VL, only in a smaller (shorter) package.  Like the Elite VL, Sitka risers and limbs are built with a wide selection of premium hand-selected, exotic hardwoods from here in the USA and around the world. Sitka Series bows utilize a composite veneered limb system incorporating standard tapered and laminated Bamboo cores. They are backed with clear glass for a stunning combination. 

This Sitka bow configuration is also available in upgraded versions.  See T2 Special Edition, NABG Series, ABG Series and Legacy Series bows.

Limb & Tip Options

A variety of limb veneer and tip options are available on your Sitka custom bow.  

Limbs:

• Standard: The (standard) VLimb includes 'single-species' wood veneers of your choice on the belly and back sides of your limbs..  
• Footed: The (optional) 'footed' limb incorporates a striking 12" section of contrasting wood species at the tip-end of the limb separated by an inlay accent stripe to match the footed riser. 
• Reverse Footed: A 'reverse footed' limb is available with the footed section (at the butt-end) of the limb.

Tips:

• Plain: The plain tip incorporate a 'single-species" of wood as the decorative face of the reinforced limb tip composite.
• Striped: The striped accent tip enhances the appearance of the limbs dramatically, incorporating an inlay stripe into the tip detail (that matches the riser accents).
