Title: Black Widow bug has bitten me
Post by: Arkansaslongbow on April 15, 2011, 12:07:00 AM
Looking to order a new black widow longbow; got the new catalog in and now it seems I can't resist;


BTW, I am doing alot better now since re-hab; shooting low to medium weight bows and shooting everyday; will be back in saddle by hunting season; looking to order a 46 to 48 lb pull bow @ 28 in; I am a 26.5 in draw so that weight should do me just fine; thanks for all of your prayers...........  :campfire:

I bought  low poundage PL III to rehab my shoulder and it worked out so well I bought another hunting weight PL V. It is a great system as I can shoot flight after flight of arrows with the lighter bow and the switch to the heavier one is quite easy. I just love the BW PL.

I'm glad you were bitten with the bow bug and not the actual bug. Both will cost you though.

I have come close to trading my PSAX a few times but that would have been a BIG mistake . I shoot my PSAX better than any bow Ive shot to date and probally wont find any bow thats more perfect for me .

I can only hope that the "BW" bug isn't as invasive as  the "HH" bug...LOL

God bless,Mudd

Roy,It could be,they even have their own "Widow Wall" which I proudly belong to and many more here.My SA111,for me ,is the most accurate recurve I have shot to date,Just like HH's,theres something about them.

I have had my PSA II takedown (Graybark) for about 6 years now. it is a killing machine! I LOVE IT. You won't go wrong with ANYTHING black widow makes. It is worth every penny.

I have two PL's.  They are the best (for me) shooting longbows I have shot.

I have a 64" PL II TD @44# with a LAG grip which I just got a few months ago and a 62" PL X 51# which I have had for several years.

They are sweet bows to shoot.  I will have another one in a year or so...

You will not be sorry...  If you are not to far from Nixa, its worth the drive over....

I had a PLV a couple years ago and just didn't care much for it.  It was a beautiful bow but couldn't compare to my O.L. Adcock one-piece ACS (to me).  On the other hand my PSAV with Asbell grip is absolutely the best shooting, smoothest bow I have ever owned and the one bow I would never part with.  For me it is "automatic".  I also had a PSRV take-down and circumstances being what they were at the time had to sell it.  Even though it was similar to the PL I enjoyed it much more and wish I still had it.

I recently traded for a PL V. It is on the way here. I am anxious to shoot it and compare to my ACS CX Bows. I love the new short riser ACS Bows. I now have two. Take care , Randy

I'm almost sorry my friend let me shoot his one piece anniversary model yesterday. Man, did that shoot nice.
