Can anyone tell if this is a Black Widow bow ? Great looking bow , but not the usual red & black. What wood ?
Thank You,
Mike :campfire:

Sure looks like one. BW makes them anyway you want them so somebody probably didn't want the read accent and got something else. I guess there is no writing as the bow was refinished etc. What do the limb timps look like that would really help?
Mike,
I have seen a BW Knock-off made by Samik I believe that looked identical to a SAG, only made in one length though either 54' or 56" I think. Sure does look like a SAG or LAG if it's a longbow.
I do not think so, it may be a knock off or just a bowyer who had used those choice of woods. Is it a LB or recurve, if it either the grip does not look quite right unless it is an older model. Shawn
I believe it is NOT a Widow... :rolleyes:
If its a BW it will say so just above the riser. along with the ser#
The riser doesn't look quite right for a Widow.
The handle looks like a BW LIW it is the predecesor to the PL, at least that is my understanding.
Thanks Guys, I seen it listed for sale on another forum a while back, that was the only picture. So I saved the pic. I believe it was listed as a longbow although not positive, it's been a while.
THANKS AGAIN,
Mike :campfire:
I do not believe it is a LAG either, again the riser and grip do not look quite right. Shawn
To pointed and square. Almost like a Moosejaw or 21st Century grip.
Above I thought it was a Samik, but I believe it is an AIM bow, copy of a SAG.
Widow made some LAG and SAG's without the red glass in the riser. I have an older BW catalog with a picture of one just like you have there. Just a production thing, I believe later in the LAG productions you didn't see very many like pictured above, they all had the red glass.
take a pic of the limb tip overlays,, I don't think its a widow though?
I got the pic off another form, it was being sold and that was the only pic posted.

I had to go and look again, the riser doesn't look like my PLIII.
put this link on the widow wall forum and those guys are saying this is a samick hawkeye model
I believe the Hawkeye was the model that had the reverse mounted limbs like a MA or SA.
Here is a photo of a Samick Verna longbow I hope.
