I did a baaaaadd thing!

[Raineman]

We had a meeting today for our chapter of our state bowhunting organization. We ended it up with a BBQ of venison shishkabobs and a "Recurve shooting fest".

It was a cornucopia of bows. A general "free for all". Everyone brought one or two bows, and it was just a "grab one and shoot" event. I did something I never should have done....

I picked up a Black Widow MAII that Droptine59 had out there.

Now this was not my first experience with a Widow mind you. My first experience with a Widow did not impress me. It was heavy and heavy. I did not dig it....and to me....first impressions are everything.

BUT...this time, I commented that I had to try again to see what all the hype was about. I picked Droptine's MAII up and my eyes immediately lit up. Man!...This is light!....

A quik test draw.....and I was again curious about this "Black Widow" thing.

I had been shooting my Super Kodiak, and a Grizzly that Droptine had refinished and given to a friend of ours as a gift and was flinging some cedars pretty well. I put the cedars on this Widow and proceeded to drive some tacks!! Everyone there was wondering when the heck "I learned to shoot?"...

Stupid Widow!!      

Now I'll have to actually contemplate getting one of the damn things. I feel like I've been assaulted by the BORG....resistance is futile. I really tried not to want one....but then I had to go there. My better half said it best when I tried to explain it to her. She just said, "stupid dummy head"

Trust me Leo, nobody was more surprised than me.

[Jerry Jeffer]

I was warned early on not to try out any bows that cost more than I wanted spend.

I bought the first one I ever shot, an MA3.  Since then its been the bow by which all others are compared.

[Raineman]

Easy now folks. I am far from laying down that kind of coin on my budget, but I did throw a trade offer at him. However, I think I was too late.

As I said, I was trying to resist. Now there is just  ANOTHER bow on my radar to grab when I can.

Great. Just what I needed. Something ELSE on my list. Something else to "waste my time"       looking for.

Never ends does it?

Man this is fun.......note to self.......stupid dummy head

[Leo L.]

I'll add $20 more to that.  I owe you.

You'll have a BW sooner than you think.

[Raineman]

You guys are killin' me!    

[Terry Riley]

Jeeze, with a title like that I feared there might be a sheep involved. Glad to see it was archery related...  

[DannyBows]

Terry that's funny! I was thinking something along those lines myself but you beat me to it!  

[slow walker]

Hmmm! Let's not lose our heads here. LOL
