After a year or so of saving my pennies, and stewing on what to get, a new PSRX arrived on Monday. I had "decided" several times on various bow / wood combinations over the course of the year, finally making the PSR decision around Thanksgiving, and deciding on the woods the day I ordered.
The bow is 60 inches, 48 @ 28, Tiger Myrtle and Ironwood.
This is my second PSR, I went for a longer bow (first one is a 56 incher) this time and opted for the "Toby" grip. I'm really pleased with the Toby grip, figured I'd try it and if I hated it, I could send it back and have it shrunk. That's not gonna happen. IMHO, it's decidedly better than the original style grip, and it's a good bit beefier feeling than the pics in the new Widow catalog lead me to think it would be.
Pardon the mess and the somewhat less than professional grade photography.....

Nice looking veneers! That grip looks to be a winner.

Very nice looking psr. I have the 60"ironwood takedown. It is a good hunting bow.It shoots a heavy arrow fast.

Love those limbs!!

Very nice!

Sweet!

Thanks guys!
I made a call to Widow about 10 minutes after it showed up thanking them; this bow totally exceeded my expectations, I couldn't be happier with it.
Best part about it is that it shoots better than it looks...

great looking bow. i really want to shoot one of widows longbows

Thats the best looking PSR I have ever seen.Its very natural looking without red phenolic in the riser and riser overlays and the grip looks very comfortable.
Are those tips all black?
The 60" is a great choice IMO.
-
Very nice! It looks like it's on fire! A hot bow for sure. :thumbsup:
-
I really like the look of the limb wood.
very cool
-
That is very nice. I have a 56" PSR and have thought that 60" would be a better choice.
-
Beautiful bow!! I shot a few of the Widows at KZoo last year and I loved the "Toby" grip, very stable and shot where I looked.
-
That is a really beautiful bow!

Due in no small part to how doggone good looking your PCH is Ben. I've got your threads about that bow bookmarked; your bow put Tiger Myrtle (and the lack of red) on my short list.

Yup, the tips are all black.

Very nice indeed
-
Really Nice bow; I also just got a used 56" PSRX and like it alot.
-
Best looking widow I've seen.
-
Wow!!! nice wood combo. I had a 60" T/d that I should have never let go. They are very smooth drawing bows.
-
nicest widow i have seen
-
Nice bow, especially like that grip! Have fun with it!
-
Very nice bow! Bet she shoots like a dream!
-
I have a Black Widow too. You made a good choice. I have other bows that have great qualities but they don't top the smoothness of my Widow.
-
That's a great looking bow.
-
looks amazing!
-
Real nice.
-
That's nice, love the vaneers.

Well, not even a month in, and this bow feels like a natural extension of me; I'm contemplating selling off a couple bows to fund having a twin (probably a PSRV this time) made. I enjoyed, and still do, my 56 inch PSR, but the extra length of this one, and the Toby grip are difference makers.
I know that when I was "shopping", I looked at and searched for every pic I could find, so, here's a few more with the bow in it's natural element.

That's a beautiful bow. Are you getting rid of the 56" PSR? I may be in the market for one.
-
That is really awesome wood!!!!
-
Beautiful bow with the Myrtle limbs. I love my PL, but these really intrigue me. I hope they bring one to Waterloo this weekend to try out. Does the Toby grip make it feel more like one of their Psa's?
-
Real nice .. Widow is the Harly of bows
-
Wow! That's a good looking bow! I would have to agree with previous comments...that's the best looking Widow I've seen.

Great looking bow. What weight arrow and what mind of speed are ya getting.
-
WHY OH WHY did you have to post those extra pics!!?? That bow is...G E O R G E O U S!!!! Hope you don't mind me gettin' one just like it? (I wish!!) Good choice! :clapper:
-
I have friends that call that Bow porn! LOL
-
Thanks guys, yeah, the boys in Nixa sure did a heckuva job on this one.
awbowman - The other PSR isn't going anywhere anytime soon....
PSPOORSHOOTER - My sense is that they're not trying with the Toby grip to make the PSR something it's not, still feels like a PSR to me; tho I do much prefer the Toby grip.
JParanee - 594 grains, don't know about the speed, but it sure doesn't seem like it's dogging to me.

Very nice looking bow. I've never been drawn to the less beefy riser Widows. I have PSAIII and PAX. However, your bow looks very nice and the streamlined riser sure make those limbs look might fine! Looks like a lot of working curve in this bow! Myrtle in the limbs is my favorite.
-
Great looking bow, 60'' recurves are my preference as well. Good feedback on the grip.
-
Very nice!
-
Nice bow!!!!
