Title: Vintage Black Widow fans
Post by: leftyfred on October 05, 2012, 09:40:00 AM
To you guys that like the old Black Widow bows made in the fifties and sixties before the Ken Beck era, just a bit of sad news.  Charlie Peck, the shop manager for Bob, Norman, and Jack passed away last month.  Charlie was a very sweet mannered gentleman who never gave himself the credit due for the awesome bows that he made during his life.  I had the pleasure of knowing Charlie and asking him a million questions about his time with Widow and the brothers.  If you get a chance tonight and it's safe, let an old arrow loose towards the heaven's with your old widow and say a goodbye to a wonder man, a bowyer, and a hunter.  Mike Pyeatt (aka leftyfred)  Charlie sitting to my right, I have the overalls.
