Title: New Widow PCH
Post by: BCWV on November 11, 2010, 09:55:00 AM
My PCH made it to WV yesterday. I set it up and took her to the woods last evening and again this morning. I had a nice buck give me the slip this morning, he was with a hot doe so I hope to see him again soon.
I'm on days off and have some chores to get done today but if it goes as planned, I'll have the next few days to try to introduce him to the Widow.
Here's a few pictures. It's 60", 47 at 28. Tiger Myrtle limbs and Brazilian Rosewood riser. I've been shooting my PTF and took to the PCH like a duck to water. It's a shooter for sure.

It's the right length, the right weight, and looks to pretty also. Hope you do well with it.It sounds just like what I would order.

Thanks fellas. I really like this bow. I like the PTF I bought used. It has the the Asbell grip. After shooting different bows at Nixa, I went with the standard grip on this one.
I couldn't get the PTF quiet enough to suit me with the D97 string that came with it and put a B50 string on it for a bit. I then twisted up a 450 string, used Bow Hush and Puppies and was happy.
I put the D97 string with the spider silencer that came with it on the PCH and it had a little more noise than I liked. I then tried my spare 450 and it's very quiet. More so than the PTF.
I'm heading to the woods. Hope to have a picture to post by dark!

Got my first BW this hunting season and the more I shoot it the more I like it    I can only fine one big prolbem with Black widow bows and that is  one is not enough
It is doing the job on the does too

Buckmaster,
I twisted the 450 myself. I'm a novice string maker, just making them for my self and family. I may be full of crap but I think string type is sorta relative. My brother likes my TS1 strings better on his longbows but the 450 seems quieter for me on mine. I think the release plays into it, but again, I may be wrong. I like TS1 on my Dalaa better than 450.
The 450 was quieter on my Widows, for me, than the D97 even with Bow hush and puppies. I like to tinker so trying different string materials is enjoyable to me.
I pulled a rookie play and over shot a doe, while on the ground, at 15 yards this morning. The PCH was quiet enough that she never figured out what was happening and if not for the brush I could have had another shot.
I like a quiet bow and the 450 with Terrys girls Bow hush and puppies is working great on the PCH.
I'm going to grab a bite to eat, get my Summit and try to get set up on that buck that I saw yesterday.
Thanks for the comments on the bow, I sure do like her.
Good luck fellas.

What Terry said, Put an SBD string on my PCH and it is now mouse quiet.
