I posted a few pics of my Widow HS after it was camo dipped back in September. I managed to bag two bucks with it this season, both were small six pointers. The first was the largest, but no pics of that one. I used Axis 400s tipped with Wensel Woodsmans and a hundred grain steel adaptor and 100 grain brass insert. I got complete penetration with both hits. Both were quartering away and the broadhead passed completely thru, exiting just behind the far side shoulder on both animals. The first was taken from my Greenes Tree Saddle and the second from my Lone Wolf Alpha Hand Climber. The first covered about 120 yards, straight up a very steep ridge and the second one only went about 85 yards. Thought some of you guys would be interested in the details.

Nice Hat! Congrats on the deer, too!
Way to go! My HS hasn't "made meat" yet, so maybe it needs to be camo dipped. I'm on vacation for the remainder of the next two weeks, and I'd be proud to put my tag on a buck like yours.
Congrats!!! :thumbsup: :clapper:
Since you have done used up all the alloted mojo of that HS, maybe you need to sell it to me for a bargain price LOL! Just kidding, I have been meaning to get me one, have two BW's with metal handles, a1200 and 1226, the latter with 2 sets of limbs. I love those alum. handle bowss, have took 2 deer with my 1226 this year, #46 @28. Congrats and great job!

Thanks for sharing! Didn't you recently post pics of your HS whenyou got it back from camo dipping? It is agreat bow and hats off to you for nice shooting and harvests. Tell us more about your bow and the arrow set up.
Total arrow weight is 665 grains. They're the Axis 400s cut to 29.5" bop. They have the 100 grain brass inserts. The Wensel Woodsmans are mounted on 100 grain steel adaptors. Everything is held together with hot melt glue. I don't need epoxy and so far, have never lost one of the points in any targets. I bought a roll of the reflect tape and used it for the caps. I don't see how you could loose one of those arrows as they shine to high heaven once hit with a flash light. I sharpen the heads with a good file and run each edge over some leather for a few stokes and they're shaving sharp. They spin test perfectly too. Each cutting edge of the broadhead is lined up with a fletch. The point end of the arrows are footed with 1 1/2" of aluminum shafting, which is epoxied. The bow is a 1991 Black Widow HS model, 60", 55#@ 28". I'm using one of Papa Bull's Mountain Muffler strings. You may notice the limb savers and also the limb saver stabilizer. It helps with noise and really locks the bow in on target. I shoot this bow off the shelf with velcro rest, spaced out with two layers of leather to get the arrows flying straight. I can't see why Black Widow wouldn't bring the HS model back as it's one of the very best shooting bows I've ever owned. I don't see how you could improve it.
For those who are interested in having a bow camo dipped, the guy's name is Lonnie and his email addy is blackhawk7204@bellsouth.net He does a great job. He works with Sipsey River, a sponsor of this site.
good shooting and nice bow
Nice shooting Ed and congrats :thumbsup:

I agree that the deer and story are really good....the hat (on the other hand) is killer!
Glad you guys like the hat! :) Just an ole boonie with some fake leaves sewed on. It has become my favorite bowhunting hat and blends real well in the Fall woods. Have to turn the brim up like that as I can't stand for my bow string to touch a hat brim, no matter how crushable it may be.

Good job Ed! I can tell you that Ed is a stand up guy to deal with. I would recommend him to anyone. Rob
Thanks Rob. I appreciate the kind words. Good luck with your season.
