Title: Trip for BW at Nixa MO Friday
Post by: Dan White on May 15, 2010, 07:16:00 PM
Went to Nixa Friday in the rain and I mean pouring rain. Black Widow was having their Asbell & Beck seminar. Those tents looked damp. I was there to pickup my PCH-X 51#@28" by 56". I draw 29" so Toby scaled it for me...54.5#@29". Thought I would post some pictures for everyone: Brazilian Rosewood, bambo, black and white fiberglass and black phenolic riser with Curly Bubinga limbs. No red.

DAmn! Gorgeous! I hurt my back two Saturdays ago and couldn't get out of bed for three days. I had to cancel my reservation for the clinicSucks that it rained too. My fatherinlaw and I had planned since 09 to make it to Nixa and hit the shop while there. I finally shot my bow on Thurs, but still haven't gone to the gym yet. Bad news is we missed the clinic, good news is I don't have any disc damage and I can shoot a longbow again. Seeing the curly Bubinga lams is pretty inspiring.

I like it w/o the red lines. That would make a good looking longbow combination with those woods.

Sharp bow for sure.  I just got a Makassar ebony and cocobolo riser with Bubinga veneers in a Firefly and love the look, but if I was to do it again I would get the Brazilian Rosewood.  Very nice combo.

The PCH is next on my list. I also draw 29- 29 1/4".  How is that 56" to draw at 29"?  I was thinking going 58".

Thanks for the nice complements. I was very, very skeptical about the shorter bow. Went to BW to buy a 58". They talked me into shooting clear down to a 54". It did not stack or pinch at all. I spent 2 hours the first trip shooting. Went back another weekend (my boys are in college in Springfield)and shot a couple more hours. The 54" felt great, but really just could not trust myself so bought the 56". Within 2 minutes of getting in the BW's door on Friday I was shooting my new bow to make sure 56" was going to work.It shoots great from what I can tell so far. Came home Saturday,it was raining so took it to the basement and used some untuned arrows to this bow and they shot great. No pinch or stack. Please do not trust me, shoot one for yourself before buying.

Dan, I absolutely love the looks of your bow. That white glass is awesome!

I got a PSAX Zebrawood a few years ago. I had them do black and white glass in the riser as well as the limb tips...it turned out great as well.

Very Nice to meet you.  Sorry I could not sit and shoot the breeze with you.  My real job interfers sometimes.

As stated above, I think that is the best looking Widow I have ever saw. Heck, it may be the best looking bow of any kind I ever saw course I am partial to Widows anyway.

Hey Scott,
    I watched your videos, you are quite the talent. I think the arrow wraps and double dogs will look and work great. Tell Mindy thanks.

Thanks for the info Dan.  I shot the 54 at Kazoo this winter.  I didn't care for it much first impression, but I only shot it once.  I then jumped to the 58" and liked it a lot.  I ended up spending more time with a 60" that was sooooooooooooooooooo Smooooooooooooth!  I plan to give them another go at Compton Lord willing to see what length I like best.  I want short, but no pinch.
