Title: New Black Widow
Post by: Zbearclaw on July 27, 2009, 12:36:00 AM
I finally had a chance to get the new Black Widow dialed in. I think she is ready for the season.

Specs are:
Black Widow PSAII, Graybark
#55 draw weight @ 27"

Right now the brace height seems to be about perfect @ a smidge over 8.75"

I am shooting 29" Carbon Express Heritage 250's with 5" feathers and reflective wraps with 200gr Muzzy Phantoms. I wasn't sure I would dig the Phantoms but these things rock thus far.

Here is a pic of the bow. As "Swift, Silent, and Deadly" as this thing has appeared to be thus far I may name it "Recon".

I have a date with a Muley and bear in less than three weeks on the Eastern Slope of Cailfornia, as long as I do my part I think the bow will more than take over its share.

I think the JoJa DAWG colored bow is gonna be good luck.  I can't believe I waited this long to get a Black Widow.

The guys at the factory were a pleasure to deal with and really put out an incredible product.  I feel privilaged to even say I own one!

Very nice bow ... good luck on your hunt ! Be careful when setting your Greybark bow down while hunting, they can be hard to find when you want to get going again.

Thanks guys, I sold my $1800 retail compound rig, some rock climbing gear, misc. other compound doo-dads, and some videos and such just to be able to place the order.  

I sold all of the above for just less than the bow price, then had to find a way to come up with the arrows, quiver and etc stuff to complete the rig.  

I don't even consider only getting $450 for a $1800 bow a bad deal as I was able to get this thing, truly worth taking a kick in the shorts for!

Hopefully I am half as reliable as it appears to be, and it will have some additional red in a few weeks.

I love the sound of a widow, and I'm convinced that it makes me more attractive to the ladies than I already am; at shoots and stuff. Nice bow!
