Brian,

Here's a page from a 1963 Kittredge Archer's Bible mail order catalog showing the Black Widow lineup (or some part of it). Does this help?

Longbowz,

You asked about a Black Widow M58 from 1967. Not sure if anyone has PMed you info. But here’s a good presentation of mid-1960s Black Widows, including the 1967 M58.

That value-packed Black Widow was an excellent buy in 1967. It sold for $49.50, and as I recall, shot very well.

Guys,

Thanks for the info on the '67 M58.

Yes it is a very nice decent bow.  I it from a good friend and former hunting partner who up and got married then decided he didn't need an more bows.  He gave me the M58 and the rest of his archery stuff.  I told him any time he wanted it back he knew where to find it.  That was 15 years ago.  :rolleyes:
