Title: NEW WIDOW is in the house!!
Post by: A.S. on April 08, 2011, 06:54:00 PM
5 weeks and 2 days after placing my order...the Widow boys must be working overtime!

Here she is, PSAX Tiger Myrtle/Brazilian Rosewood. 60" 52@28.

They really pack them up nicely!

I am simply AMAZED at how quiet it is.

My string is one of our "Lefties R US" D10 strings. I made up a 6 strand string for this bow, and was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is!

I didn't even get a stock string from Black Widow for it. I build all my strings as well as the strings the Lefties R Us (a sponsor on here) sells.

Will do Barry, I'll get it out this week.

Thanks everybody. I just ordered a new Centaur this week. I like the looks of this Widow so much, that I think I'll have my Centaur made in the same wood combo.

Thank goodness.  Now we won't have to hear you crying about not having anything to shoot!  
Well, nothing less than a month old to shoot   ;)

Very pretty bow.  Can't wait to see it in person.  Too bad it's backwards.

Gorgeous Widow, Allen!

BTW, I received my own customized version of the so called "girlie man" string from you today and I love it! You make a great D10 string and in record time as well. It also matches my "girlie man" pink feathers and wraps perfectly!

  :thumbsup:    :eek:

The upside of the economic downturn in North America is that custom makers of pretty well anything are no longer swamped. I bought an ACS CX from stock and had it in my hands a week later.

Widow makes some gorgeous bows and yours is certainly one of them.

Oh, and thanks a lot, now I gotta get some girly strings to go with my other girly archery stuff.

Wow, that's one purdy bow. I've seen lots of pics of Tiger Myrtle limbs on Widows, and yours are my favorites! Lots of color and character. Not to mention natural camo!

All I can say is that I must be living right...or something. These are by far the best looking limbs that I have ever had on a bow!

The photos don't do the riser wood justice....it is simply stunning in person.

Tuning this bow as a breeze. I built the 6 strand string because I have a bunch of Axis FMJ's that were too stiff for the bow I had been shooting (Widow PSAV 51@28).

My FMJ 500's are cut to 27 1/2 (I draw 27"), with a 125 gr point they are shooting absolutely perfect. Tuning took me all of about 20 minutes on this bow.   :goldtooth:

I plan on switching to the all carbon Axis shafts and a heavier point when we get closer to hunting season.

Very nice bow!
Hey off topic, what type jig do you use to make your strings? I have a home made nail board, jut curious what everyone else uses.
Thanks
