Al, I have had an SA, that got turned-into a PSA, and now have the PCH which I find just as easy and accurate at 60" as the old girl was at 62".

Here's my PLX.  I know you're looking for a 3-piece, but take a look at the spalted sycamore on the limbs.  I love it.  Riser and nose overlay are cocobolo.

[Benny Nganabbarru]

That is a wicked-lookin' PLX!

I don't have a Widow on hand, but here's a big stack of plywood......

Rob, I guess that was a joke, right?
Us Widow lovers are a sensitive bunch.

[Benny Nganabbarru]

I can't see much plywood in the bows shown, Rob.

Robert,

Bad mouth the BW Bow Company all you want.  The product is bullet proof and customer service is top shelf.  Oh...and their % of resale value is higher than anybody elses...

BTW....your domain name expired on 8/7/11...time to renew.

 Somebody hit a verve.....Rob!!!    

All in good fun, I'm sure, no harm meant

[Archie]

Is there some kind of inside joke that I'm missing?  For what it's worth, I find their materials and craftsmanship to be top notch.

[2madjacks]

Sorry Archie, no jokes from me, I just found trad mans response to rob's post humorous.  I completely agree that the craftsmanship and materials are top notch.  And I do like the spalted sycamore very much.

[robtattoo]

Y'all can't take a joke? Sheesh. Tough room.....

[Al Kidner]

Easy lads... I get Rob's joke... it's a brit thing....lol...

Anyhow... we always beat 'em in Rugby!

Now... more pics please!

There are a plethora of both magnificently appealing and awe inspiring bows being created these days.

While not a BW shooting fan of the past, I have always favored their design, physical wt .and great curb appeal.

My past poor experience was not the bow's fault, but a grip mismatch. After years of contemplating and finally test running and determining a much more compatible grip, I yielded and now own a beautiful PCH X. She is proving to be me more comfortable than many longer bows I've owned and/or tested.  Sometimes I am obstinate when chronically determined to fit the square plug in the round hole. I must have gotten lucky because it now fits beautifully.

Just a little side note on Widows being considered "bombproof". In June I was in Quebec for Bear Quest V. One evening a bunch of us were chewing the fat and someone asked Bowdoc if he could only have one bow what would he have. Bowdoc is a walking encyclopedia of archery history and equipment along with being one of the top, if not the best, at restoring and refinishing FINE bows. He's had his hands on more great bows than any of us ever will. Bowdocs favorite bows of all time are the Grayling takedowns.

I was alittle suprised when he said if he were going a a trip of a lifetime, perhaps Africa, where you couldn't have you're bow let you down. He'd be packing a Widow. That says alot

Rob,you know Widows are vertically stacked,not horizontally.No wonder you got the Spider crowd in a up roar!
