Title: Yet again, Black Widow fails to disappoint.
Post by: sj_lutz on February 11, 2014, 07:44:00 AM
The big brown UPS truck showed up yesterday, and it happened to have a box from Nixa with my name on it....

The bow is a 60 inch PCH V; 52@28.  I asked them to install a stabilizer insert...have read entirely too many Joebuck threads...so I guess this is my purpose built turkey bow now.  After reading all the positive things about SBD strings, I decided that's what I wanted on this bow.  I've had the SBD string on my 60 inch PSR for a week or so shooting it in (yes, I'll be getting another SBD for my PSR....) and the string made the transition to it's new home without any issue.

Of course there's a bit of tuning to be done, but I did shoot 20 or so arrows yesterday...with a big ol grin on my face.  Beyond smooth, moved a 10.5 GPP arrow with authority, and from the first shot, almost freakishly quiet.

Sweet bow there buddy. I just received my PCHII last week and I'm loving it more each time I shoot it. I really like the looks of yours.

That they do, James, that they do.  Quality product from a quality company.  

Far as the different color wood in the raiser, to the best of my knowledge, it's all Ironwood...maybe from a different batch??

Didn't get the chance to shoot it yesterday, but I should today...I'll try to get some video.

Coming from the writer of the New Testament of trad turkey hunting (a copy of Mr. Brobst's Old Testament is in my possession as well) I'll sure take that, Joe!!!

Here she is with the blind attached....still much glue gun work to be done, and the attachment point needs redneck engineering...hope to have it finished up by early April; that'll give me a solid month to get used to shooting with it on.
