Title: New Widow PLX...PICS!
Post by: Al Kidner on April 18, 2008, 07:44:00 AM
Well when I landed home the other day it was a quick G'day to the family then onto my collection of waiting mail.

Magazines, bills and other items were pushed aside as there was a long box from the fine crew at Black widow.

Here was what was inside...

My new Black Widow PLX KingWood T/D, 66# @ 30", 64" bow and one smooth looking lady.

I really like the nocks;

I also had the older LAG grip put onto this bow as it suited me more;

And the last one;

The attention to detail was as expected, 10 out of 10. And the smoothness of draw had me wondering if it was ten pounds lighter. I was wondering why I had not ordered a new Longbow sooner.

Kind regards,

That's a fine looking bow Al!  Will you have a chance to take her out for a little walkabout while you're home?

That's got to be one of the best looking PLX I've ever seen!

Al, if you get a chance, can you take a couple of side pictures of the LAG grip and post them?

I wonder if BW could build the new style lock it-sock it T/D with the LAG grip??

Congrats!!

Mike

This bow says it is a take-down. I was also curious what takedown system did they use? The older talon system (which has been good on my BW's) or the newer locket-socket version.

Hi all,

Raw hide, this bow is the new T/D system withe the LAG Grip. I'll try and get some side pics, I'm away for the weekend visiting friends. When I return I'll post again.

As for hunting, well I've four weeks off so there is a few trips planned there. Talk to Don, Denny there is something in the wind for you two over here in August.

Hi all again,

Here are some pics of the LAG grip on my new bow. The Takedown system is the new "Locket-socket" and I'm sold on it. Very strong and so simple to use.

Hey Alan, congrats on the new bow, it sure is a looker. I know just how you feel as I just got an early birthday present (bd is in August) yesterday. Black Widow PSAX Kingwood and Osage.

From one Alan to another we are two lucky guys.

Al, very nice bow.  I owned a PL and couldn't get used to the grip.  I sure would like to try one with the LAG grip.  Looks like it would fit me better.  Very nice wood as well.

Whittler you better put some pics up quick.  I gotta see that combo...Mike
