A Trip To Black Widow

[Takeem406]

Had a chance to visit Black Widow today!

I've been fumbling around with a Hill style longbow for a while (years) with dismal success. I really thought shooting a traditional bow was supposed to be hard!

Well the guys let me try a few PL longbows and I couldn't believe how awesome of a shot I really am when I have a better for me bow! Couldn't miss! I was consistently shooting soft ball sized groups at their little range. Previously this week with my Hill style my groups at 20 could barely fit on a pizza box.

I tried a few curves but I really liked the familiar light feel of a Hill style. If I ever find a used curve I'd snatch it right up!

The "Toby" grip felt great and they had a two piece in a 54@28 62“. A lot lighter than I'm used to, but this bow is so much faster and smoother. They had a 60# but it was a 64" and I really don't want that much length. I can't believe how still in the hand this is! Very little shock! Also these draw a lot better! My 60#'s I've had draw very hard, it's a lot of work to get back to full draw even mid summer and shooting a lot. But that 60 they had was significantly easier.

Can't wait for spring bear back home!

Thanks for the pics. All this helps to get me through to turkey, bears and morels.

Black Widow has been around for a long time. They have been very consistent on what they do. Nice bows.

Yep, fun hunting with a work of art.

Nice! I'm hoping to make a trip down there once I convince my wife that I need a trad bow again haha!

I'm curious...did they have many lefty's there to shoot?

It has been quite a while since I have been there, but yes, there were several lefties to try out. These are some nice shooting bows for sure.

Cool place for sure. I used to live close and I had the guys build me a pchx several years ago. Great bow but I just never really warmed up to it.

Quality people and a quality product. I have been there quite a few times and had several bows made. All top notch.

Yep, she's a fine bow! I can't shoot this well at 20 with my old bow I've had for the last year!
