Title: New to me widow
Post by: daveycrockett on February 14, 2014, 10:34:00 PM
Been slowly moving back up in weight and I've always wanted a copperhead skinned bow. Found this in the classifieds. It came in today. Thanks Will, widowdoublelung.

Those are some beautiful bows he got rid of. I love the widow low grip. Wish they would have been in my weight range.  

You will be happy. Congrats

1st impressions are good. I'm taking it slow, but I'm close to calling it tuned. Quiet, dead in hand at the shot.

What a beautiful recurve. That stained spalted maple is a piece of art.
Said was not going to buy another bow til some of mine sold...then found a great deal on a Greybark. Widows seem to be the most forgiving bows in my hands, good luck with the new bow. Roy

Dave,

I really like the snake skin overlay on that Black Widow PSA V.  I also have a Black Widow PSA V.  My bow is a 60" recurve drawing 62# at my 29 1/2" draw and boy does it shoot fast.  I shoot 23/64 dia. Port Orford cedar shafts that I handcraft myself and  have taken deer, turkey and black bear with that outfit.  I think you'll find that bow to your liking as far as quietness and efficiency goes.

For those that have asked, the low grip is the best grip widow offers. I was skeptical at 1st not having ever felt one, but I like it.

Awesome!  I love the Reaper on the limb too... I've got an older SA with a couple of sets of limbs that was named Reaper by a few friends... Critters just seem to die around that bow...

Love the low grip too... actually sending Reaper in to get the grip reworked to a low grip and a refinishing as he needs it... When I get the $'s anyway...

Congrats on the new bow David!
