Title: Just A PCH III(UPDATE w/Video PG3)
Post by: Wannabe1 on March 05, 2010, 08:13:00 PM
But, WOW! This bow is darker in color than any other Autumn Oak I've seen to date. She is a beauty in her own right. It just came in 15 min. ago so, have not shot it yet. That will come tomorrow after I have drill and pay Uncle Sam his time.     :D    Man, it's going to be a long day.     :thumbsup:

Dan, just the standard grip. It fits my hand pretty well. I just strung it up to let the string settle in for shooting tomorrow.

Thanks Dave. I really am impressed with how dark it is. Wish you weren't so far away so we could shoot tomorrow.

I'd be interested to know if yours comes out as dark. If this is going to be the new Autumn Oak, then I'm all for it!   :D

An absolute beauty.  I live about 11 hrs from Nixa, Missouri and feel like taking a drive to see the Black Widow operations.  I live close to Tim Mullins and Acadian Woods.  Will be taking a look at both bows.  I see that you are in Oregon.  Did you take a look at the Blacktail Bows from Norm?  Please let me know if you did.  I am curious about them.  Black Widow will be here for a long time.  I am still in a curious debate between the three products.  Oregon is a little far for a drive.

Vernon, I have never shot a Black Tail. I hear they are great bows but, I don't really like the looks of them. Just my tastes. Snag(David) would be a good person to answer that question. Tim Mullins has some pretty bows. I used to live in Slidell and Pearl River. Never did get to meet him or shoot one of his bows. This is my 10th Black Widow and I haven't been disappointed in any of them. They just perform well for me and I'm not an expert by any standards. Just know what I like.

I just sold a beautiful PTF-X last night and might end up regretting that one.   :rolleyes:  I have to get down to 4 bows and it was the PTF-X or my Howard Hill. Well, I sorta got a soft spot for my Hill.   :)

Wannabe1, I've always liked the looks of "Ironwood" best, even more than most of the Exotic wood choices. Autumn Oak is my second favorite BUT I've never seen one with such a dark walnut brown color as yours. I think I may like your AO as much as Ironwood. Clint

BEAUTIFUL!!

Congrats on your new curve, I'm sure she'll give you years of great companionship.

Looking forward to the range report too.  Oh and how about some GOOD PICS of her STRUNG UP so we can see her in all her glory!

Thanks for the pics...and those to come.

Wannabe1,
I had a 2007 psaIII that came that way very dark ,
I must agree with you, they warm the soul , I reguested one time when ordering a 111 could I get it on the dark side, but when it arrived not darker then any other I ordered, but my 2007 was beautiful like yours, enjoy \\grat looking bow.

Beauty of a Widow for sure!  I just got a new Honduran Rosewood riser to go with some ironwood limbs and am very pleased.  Like you, I've never seen or shot a Widow I didn't like.
Congrats!

I know what you are saying about the color.
The top and bot are both autumn oak, but I think that time and wax has changed the PMA.

Well, I got the string stretched and the brace is right at 9" didn't like the arrows at 8 3/4". The bow also didn't like my EL 2018's so I switched to the AD Trad Lites that I like so well. 29.5" BOP w/145gr tip up front. It did like those!     :D

Man-O-Man, do I love this bow! She needs a little tweaking, i.e. string silencers on and maybe a little heavier tip but, she really wasn't all that loud the way I was shooting her.

I have a PCH III on order, it should be here at the end of this month. I hope my riser turns out that dark also. I ordered Ironwood limbs with mine.

That should be a nice looking combo. Can't wait to see it.    :thumbsup:

Post by: Jerry Wald on March 06, 2010, 10:43:00 PM
Sounds pretty quiet already without all the silencers. Should be real nice when you get her setup.

I dig that practice quiver you use in your yard.  Nice bow and it looks like you are shooting it well.
