Title: new PCH-X
Post by: Steel on February 19, 2010, 09:53:00 PM
Well my Zircote/Tiger Myrtle 54" 50@27" PCH-X came in today I rushed out and shot a few dozen arrows after I had the bow all setup. Not much I can say other than it shoots very hard,very quiet,and is easy to shoot accuracy wise like every other Widow I have owned. The Zircote is nice I like the color sort of a rich chocolate brown with some grain to it and the tiger myrtle is unreal pictures don't do it justice. Also the riser is not as dark as the pictures show the camera seems to be having a hard time catching the true color of the zircote wood. I plan on doing some more shooting tomorrow.

That is smack yo mama purty!

I would trade a ear or maybe a kidney if I had to for my PSAII, but I got to admit.  At the same prom, mine is the ugly chick...

But she sho hits hard.

If you get a pic that takes the zircote and shows it well let me know.  Those limbs are unsightly they are so nice.

Ben you better order one before they sale out! (LOL) I hate to say but I have it's evil twin a 54" 51@27" PCH-X Curly Narra shipping real soon also.You always need a back up plus I sold my PSA-X 56" crossgrain graybark I miss it already it was a sweet shooter but the PCH shoots as good in a alittle smaller lighter/package which is what I was aiming for.

LOVE IT....can't wait until mine shows up.

Anyone put a bolt on quiver on it...wondering if i should get the BW quiver with mine

I use the Safari tuff usually burt that was because I was using a longbow and don't want to add weight to the longbow

Good looking bow. I was able to see "in person" a pch for the first time yesterday. It was really nice, just my weight...but for the wrong hand! Probably good that I couldn't have shot it anyway.
Title: Re: new PCH-X
Post by: Steel on February 21, 2010, 11:02:00 AM
Man I shot the new PCH until my fingers were sore yesterday. It is a shooter for sure an I am very happy with the workmanship BW put into the bow it is flawless from the smooth uniform finish,no white spots or imperfections in the glass,sanding/smoothness of the wood, and the limb/pockets fit like a glove.I was going hog hunting today but rain/storms have been going on all morning so I am sitting at the computar. If you notice in that last picture I posted on post #1 you can see where the wild hogs have been tearing up the yard at night my family has ran 2 big boars out of the driveway this week. That said the last two times I hunted I walked for miles didn't see a hog one I guess I should start hunting closer to the house.

Post by: Predator Man on February 21, 2010, 11:16:00 AM
Really nice. I wonder if I draw 28.5 if 54" would be to short.
Title: Re: new PCH-X
Post by: mooseman76 on February 21, 2010, 11:40:00 AM
That's a tough one, predator man.  Definitely need to try one out.  I have a 29" (maybe a little more) and I didn't like the way the 54" felt.  I didn't even shoot it because it was uncomfortable on the draw.  The 56" held up fine to my draw, but didn't feel as good as the 58" to me.  I think mostly it is personal preference, I think the bow would hold up fine at that draw (though it isn't in the recommended range)and it would be up to you to determine if it was comfortable or not...Mike

Terry, did you go with zircote as well or stick with the honduran rosewood?  I keep looking at this pic and kinda wonder if I should've went with zircote myself.  I talked to Roger about it, but in the end went with Pau Ferro (like on my old PSAX)...Mike
Title: Re: new PCH-X
Post by: Terry Green on February 23, 2010, 06:39:00 PM
Brazilian Rosewood.
Title: Re: new PCH-X
Post by: Steel on February 23, 2010, 06:55:00 PM
I don't think you can go wrong with zircote,brazilian/honduran rosewood,and pau ferro is another wood you don't hear alot about. I have a toelke 3 piece recurve with the pau ferro riser I like the color/grain of the wood alot. I havea Curly Narra 54" PCH on order as well should be done real soon I think it will be very,very nice also. To be honest I have seen several great looking "X" Widows last few months I think BW has turned it up a notch in the exotic grade bows.

Post by: Nick559 on February 24, 2010, 01:26:00 AM
Beautiful! No other word fits.  Show some pictures of just the riser when you get a chance.  The light color of the limbs may have thrown the light meter off in the camera.  That may be why its coming out darker.  Or if you want to keep it together.  Lay it down and cover the limbs with a black or dark (darker than the riser) cloth.

Post by: Steel on February 24, 2010, 08:25:00 AM
Sorry Ben the good thing is BW waiting time has been around 6-10 weeks on average not to bad! The PCH shoots great I have been shoooting some arrows in the evenings after work they have been zipping right to the kill zone on my target.One of my buddies likes shooting my PCH so much he is ordering a 56" PCH graybark very soon.I will try some better riser pics soon when I get a chance to sit down and try a different camera also.
