Little Target Practice

[tippit]

Well it was a hot day and I was a little down...not being able to attend ETAR again for the 5th year in a row.  This year not being able to hear anyone would have been a bit rough. So to help cheer myself up, I picked out a few target bows that I haven't shot in years.  Just seeing all that Rosewood and so smooth/easy shooting sure helped my funk...tippit

I could only dream of having just those 5 bows, let alone what else you got! Really gorgeous, you have something there to be very proud of. Cheer up brother, you have a lot to live for!

Not to rain on your thread but can you give a little history on the Wilson Bros.? Very nice by the way!

They started Black Widow bows back in the 50's and were know for great target bows. Do a Google search on Wilson Brothers Black Widow bows...lots of info. This is a good start on them...

Fine looking bows there, you cheered us up just getting to see that collection. Sorry you had to miss ETAR.

Old target bows warm your heart two fold...just seeing how beautiful they are and then how great they shoot.
