Got my first Widow in the mail today.  :D    I'm ancy to get off work now to go shoot it.  Bought a Black Widow PTF II 56 inch 45# at 27".  She's a beauty! I'll post pics later, just wanted to share! Arrow suggestions welcome, I shoot Beaman MFX 600 off my 50# Rio Bravo and Gold tip 3555's also.  I'm thinking 150 grain tips might be too much for the drop in pounds though. I'll find out tonight!  :archer:

i want a ptf so bad!

what sood did you get?


Jeffrey Coria

I stopped at the house to get my arrows and flung a few in the back at the back yard buck.  Shoots nice, very smooth, different hardly any vibration, that might take a little getting used to.  The PTF II "II" is "Greywood" Has red inlay.  Looks great!

The 3555 will work but you might need to use 125 grain points I like the CX heritage 150 cut at 29" with 125 grain points I have a PTF 47# at 28" Jerry

Jeffrey Coria

Thanks Jerry, I'll look those up.  I was thinking 125 would be the ticket. or a 100 with a 20 grain insert on the beamans.  I'll post pics tonight.

I had a TF and it is pretty cool it has the SA limbs on it,,,, anyway my 45@28 PSA (same limbs) shoots a 29" heritage 90 w/ a 200gr point which is bareshafted and fletched with 3-4" shields.  I'm not sure what the deflection of those shafts are but  cut all the fletch of one of your MFX shafts, hold the bow perfectly verticle and post back and tell us what that arrow doe and we can tell you from there.

also take the serial number and register on the "widow wall" to post there also.
