Title: My new Widow
Post by: statedriller on July 20, 2012, 11:10:00 PM
Just wanted to share.  Yesterday I received the Widow I ordered at Compton's.  She is a 56" PSRX in black and white ebony with no red and a grip similar to a Shrew grip.  What a beauty and shoots great like all Widows. She will be my "goto" and I couldn't be happier.  Wish I knew how to take better pics, but no pic can do her justice....

I do apologize Mr. LaClair.  You are completely right.  I called it that because it's not a standard Widow grip, but custom made.  And it is a copy of your grip that I love so much.  I am very sorry for stepping on your toes and will make sure it doesn't happen again.  Larry

I really like the looks of this one.  Would you mind posting some close-ups of the grip?

Thank you all for the kind words...

Archie, here are the closeups of the grip.  It has quite a different feel than the stock grip.  I love it...

Didn't know they made Widows like that, very nice.
If it shoots like the Widows I've owned you should love it.

Wicked Widow. Very nice!

I got my first PSA3 with boo limbs and no white back in 2006. A month after I got it I harvested a 9 point buck and just a few weeks later a Caribou in AK. Love that bow. Last year I bought a pretty PSAX with a Zircote riser (no white or red) and Spalted Mertle limbs for 3d's. Shoots great too.

Glad the Widow guys did a good job on your bow. I hope you have many happy times with it. Make memories!

Bill
