Title: AN OPEN LETTER TO BLACK WIDOW
Post by: Roger Norris on January 04, 2017, 07:36:00 PM
Dear Black Widow - Please, if you have any decency at all....do not bring a KB one piece model in Greenleaf, right handed, Asbell grip, 58 inches long, pulling 60# a@ 28" to the Expo in Kalamazoo next month. Thank you.

Love Always,

Rogers Wallet

Love it, Roger!  

I've been thinking something similar, but for Steve Turay.  If he brings a 64-66" Superior with red glass back and belly, dark riser, locator grip I may not be able to resist!

Have you shot his new Ramer? Holy smokes....a more forgiving longbow you will not find. I have several Northern Mist bows, the Ramer could replace them all, in my opinion.

Let me answer that by telling you this story:

When we had been married about 7 years, we built a house. As we were moving in, a truck pulled up to deliver my new 30 gun vault.

Lori said: When we were first married, you had a shotgun, a deer rifle, a handgun, and an old recurve your Dad gave you. Now you need a 30 gun vault and a room designated as a "hunting room" that is full of arrows and bows....what gives?

My Answer: When we got married you had a couple pairs of shoes for work and a pair of tennis shoes for the gym. Now you need a walk in closet. Maybe we shouldn't talk about this?

We have been married 31 years and have never discussed it again.    ;)

Sounds like a match made in heavon... the marriage and soon to be new bow!!!!....but how many new pairs of shoes equals a new black widow? Just curious for future reference.   :biglaugh:

You're such a pushover Sledge. Heck, if they wanted to be ruthless, they'd have a basket of ice filled with Guiness cans and some pepper shooters on a platter with toothpicks to use as a bait pile. They may as well call their taxidermist right now and order up a slight facing right form (for an extra large noggin however).     :D

Well, they tried to fool me. They didn't bring one at 60#, they brought a 58#'er....HA! It takes more than that to trick me out of a new bow!

All kidding aside, this bow is beautiful. Smooth, quiet, fast....as I shot it, I was brought back to when my Dad first handed his Bear Super Kodiak down to me. I love this bow....more pics to come. Thanks Roger and Toby!!!
