I'm not familiar with that bow, but I'd try about 8".

Dave, Here you are. The top bow is my 1976 Wilson Bros. Black Widow T-2600, the bottom is my 1975 T-1300. I found my manual on the '75 and it shows 9-10" for the 65",  so I think it's close for the 1976.

Lok at the grip and limb butts. Lay one riser on top of the other. They are the same

I know virtually nothing about the Black Widows of the Wilson Brothers era other than the fact that they made the bows....I was not expecting the bows to look anything like that....thank you so much for educating me...now of course I have no choice but to try to feed my addiction

Dave, I collect them all. You know how you have a couple of special bows that you won't ever sell? I have several (out of 35) that fit that category. My favorite is this 1964 Wilson Bros. Black Widow HF. It's 58" and 40#@28. It's hard to see in the picture, but, the riser has 5 different laminations in it. It is very petite (unlike the X series target bows), that's why I took the photo next to my 2010 rosewood PMA-X shooter to show scale. I hope you like it!  (http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb366/outpostdave/006.jpg)
