Any info on this bow? Never owned a Widow.
Is 7255 a model # or serial number?
Approximate age? Family member thinks 1960-61. Given as a gift to the hs band director/deer hunter.
Still shoots nice.

Good looking bow!
I have the twin to yours, except mine is 48#s@28"s. That must be the serial # as mine is 13433. Mine shoots great!
Email Roger at Black Widow (info@blackwidowbows.com) with the serial number. He will get back with you with the date it was shipped and to where. From there you can do further research if you wish. I would date that bow around '63 as a guess, but I can check for you when I get home to be exact.
Nice.
(edit: It is a 1963. Wilson Bros. made approximately 1,924 bows that year and their serial numbers ran from 7026 to 8950)
