Title: Black Widow PLX arrived
Post by: mooseman76 on March 01, 2011, 02:22:00 PM
I got my new Widow PLX today.  64" 52#@28" (about 56-57#@my draw).  Cocobolo riser with some really nice looking yew limbs.  These are all yew tapers, no bamboo.  The belly side looks like a more typical yew whereas the back has some dark wood weaving through it.  I had BW change the riser overlays from the standard black on red to cocobolo on black and think it looks fantastic.  Have a look...Mike

I am trying to decide on woods for a 56" PSRX.  Too bad I can't afford a dozen of them.

Thanks for all the compliments fellas.  The bow shoots great.  Although, I've only been able to shoot about 7-8 yards in my attic so far.  Backyard is still covered in snow and ice.  Oh well, it makes for some really good form work  :)

Not much of a long bow guy, but I can really appreciate the beauty of the bow.  I don't think I've ever seen Yew quite like that, stunning.  Well Done.  RW

Congratulations, Mike

Welcome to the Widow club.  Your PLX is a real nice looking bow.  I know you will get plenty of enjoyment from it.  I have 2 PLX's, both take-downs, and will never part with them.
