Title: Black Widow Woodland Camo
Post by: BIG GAME on August 30, 2010, 07:58:00 PM
Hello,
Anybody seen or have pictures of the Woodland Camo bow that Widow is making.  I talked to Vernon today and he tried explaining it to me.  Just wanted to see pictures.

Call Widow back and ask one of the boys to email you pictures, I'm sure they will be glad to do it.

Denny,
I tried and they are under staffed right now and won't be able to until after Labor Day.  Just thought I would see if anyone had one they could show me.

Sweet!

I like that more than some of the exotic wood models I've seen. Now for a few pics in the woods, boy I bet that bow would blend in.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

Kinda looks like the late 80's/early 90's Bear multi-color lamination.....

I always liked the looks of the Habu's in camo. Never tried one though.

Being a Widow fan, it now looks like I'm gonna have a tough time deciding between Greybark and Camo!

Camolaw,
Thanks for the pics, that puts it into perspective.  I love that woodland camo.  What are the specs on your bow.  Is it PCH?  The lighter shade in the limbs, what type of wood does that closely resemble in your opinion.  I thought it looked like an Autumn Oak.

god my wife is going to kill me,i have to get one

It is a 58 inch PCH, 50 pounds at 28, draw a little over 29.  It is my first take down, and I could not be happier.  As for the lighter color, it appears lighter in the second picture from the top becuase of the flash. It looks like a dark oak to me, but I am not a wood guy.  For some perspective, it is very similar in color to the wood finish on my Arrow Dynamics arrows.

Did I mention I could not be happier?  I shoot about every other day at my house, can only shoot about 15 yards becuase of space, and am busting a nock or two a week.  Tearin up the back of my arrows, would be worse but for the Easton Unibushings I installed, but dont mind a bit.

That looks nice.  I also like the gray bark with no white or red glass in the riser and cross grain on the limbs.

I love the black, brown, and gray in the riser. It's just beautiful. But, I don't like the green in the limb laminations. It always seems like it's out of place to me.

Ever since I saw a Habu in the woodland camo with the angle cut limbs, I've wanted a bow made like that. Looks like my first diy effort is gonna be woodland camo. Kenny M has the riser blocks and the lams!  Good lookin' Widow! I like the green...but I live in the desert in SE NM and there isn't too much green around these parts.

Awe crud!!!  Gonna have to put some $'s together...  Been wanting to try the PCH, but now they finally started making the camo bow I've been wishing they would for years!  Just to much!

Maybe need to have a fire sale to raise some funds...

I have a Tomahawk(woodland hunter) longbow that I purchased from 3Rivers Archery and it has the same woodland pattern. Don't lay it down in the spring woods  :campfire:

I just recently got a new to me PSA11 Greybark  56 inch l/h.52@27 which has no red all black with white
stripes it is quite stunning--from about 6 feet
the white just dissappears.

I too like the woodland camo, had the first plx the widow boys made and sold it like a dope! LOL

I shoot mostly recuves anyway. So I ordered another PCHX in woodland camo at 58" as a backup to my 60" PHCX. It should be here in the next few weeks. This is the first widow I ordered with the low rise grip so we'll see how that works out.
