Title: show me Black Widows in Tulipwood
Post by: Big_Al on July 08, 2008, 03:16:00 PM
I've been debating ordering a Black Widow Tulipwood PAX.  I got bewitched by the one reviewed in TBM and I'd love to see what other Tulipwood Widows look like.  Anybody have pics?

Here's a Tulipwood riser.

Kinda tough to tell but it's a pretty blonde wood with nice looking reddish streaks though it.

Hope this helps.

Otto, I was hoping to see the PSA-X riser in Tulipwood.  It's hard to choose between the PSA-X and the PA-X.  Do you have a picture of the limbs?

Here's a collage of the Widow I'm currently lusting after:

Big_Al.

Mine is a PSA-X riser.  The limbs on it though are osage with copperhead skins on em.  Pics of the limbs are in the other "Exotic Widow" thread that's still going.

If it was me....if I KNEW the #'ge of the bow I wanted and wasn't worried about another set of limbs or the take down feature, I'd go with the PA-X model.  In fact, that's what my next Widder will be.

A.S., got any pics of the riser?  I'm curious to see if all the Tulipwood Widows look good, or if the one I'm drooling over was just an extra-pretty one they sent to TBM.

Terry, what type of grip is that on your PLX?
Title: Re: show me Black Widows in Tulipwood
Post by: T.A.C. on July 10, 2008, 10:40:00 PM
Ben, Thanks!

Charlie, the grip is the old LAG grip that I prefer to the standard PL grip.

Thanks Greg,
Its even got some mojo - the first two arrows on the string (even before I put a nockpoint on it) claimed two rabbits! Altho I didn't even see a deer this past season when I was hunting with it.

Big Al, sorry I've been away at ATAR. I don't have any pics of that riser. Those were limb pics that someone else had sent me a while back.

ZA,
Thunderhorn MiniBOA. Just told them what I wanted (the colors in the wood) and that was it. I've had five of their quivers for different bows and everyone has matched. Great quiver, great people to work with.

Did you just call them up and tell them what you want?

Thanks.
