Title: My first Widow is here!! (pics added)
Post by: jt85 on June 29, 2014, 10:35:00 AM
I talked to Roger at Black Widow Bows Friday and he said my bow was ready to ship.
Luckily for me my Grandpa lives about 30 minutes from Nixa and just so happened to be coming down this weekend, so being the great Grandpa he is he ran over to the Widow shop and picked up my bow for me.
As horrible as this may sound I don't think I've ever been so anxious waiting for my Grandpa to show up before,but When he finally got here yesterday and I opened the box I was amazed at the way the bow turned out, I could not be happier with it.
Grandpa told me I reminded him of a little kid with a new toy.
My bow is a 58" PCH 49# @ 27" Zircote riser with Tiger Myrtle limbs with bamboo overlays. I know this is a combo that gets used quit a bit but I sure like it!

I chuckled when I read your first Widow. I have a first also. Good luck with it and the next.

I have tried but still have not mastered posting pics, if someone wants to post them for me I would be glad to either text or email pics to you.

Have to agree that Zircote and Tiger Myrtle are pretty common and you will likely get tired of it eventually...give me a call when you do and I will take it off your hands...if I live long enough that is

Exactly like the one I got last week.  I left the phenolic out though.  It's an incredible looking bow!

I know exactly how you felt! The waiting is worth it though.  I ordered and got mine two years ago, the boys at black widow are second to none!!

Bud, I don't have a photobucket account I guess I need to get one.
Fireman2019, I left the phenolic in my riser but instead of the red stripe mine has a phenolic strip with two red pin stripes.

Congrats, Jason! Now we'll REALLY hafta get together to shoot, so I can say I've shot a Black Widow! Lol.

Sorry, I can't really help with the pics. I managed to do it once or twice, but it's kind of a pain to do from my phone and I don't have home internet right now. You should go ahead and get a photobucket account. That's the only reason I got one, so I could post pics here. Once you get the account, there's a couple of tutorial posts that will get ya going.

Congrats, again!
