gap at limb joint

[The Butcher]

I have a BW takedown, there is a small gap on the top limb and riser joint.  By small, I mean small.  You can feel it, and see it if you hold it up to a light, but the bottom joint is not like this.  Is it normal?  If not, what is the fix  Bow shoots fine.  Thanks

I have had several Black Widows and some have a slight gap. I don't think it will hurt anything. Mine have all shot fine.

The slight gap is probably caused by the rubber washer on the pin.The gap is probably smaller on one limb than the other --because it is tightened down tighter than the other limb.If you have major concerns --call Black Widow.

Yep, completely normal.  I've owned a bunch of Widows and the takedowns always had this gap.  Like said before if one gap is bigger the limb may be tightened less or if the bow is a few years old the washer may be worn.  They are easy to replace and cheap.  What part of PA are you from?...Mike
