Title: My new Macassar and B&W Ebony recurve.
Post by: Straitshot on July 31, 2015, 02:53:00 PM
It has been awhile since I ordered a new custom bow. Since I am now 70 and have plenty of bows to shoot it doesn't make a lot of practical sense to spend the money for a new one. I tossed the idea around for about a year and a half and finally decided to do something not practical and sprung for a new one. To be honest I had a hard time deciding which bowyer I would go with. There are so many good ones these days. Black Widow won out because I have never shot a bad one and they are so solid and their wait time isn't forever. At 70 I can't wait forever. It is a 60" SAXS with spliced limbs, 49#@28". As I said there are many other excellent bowyers and you guys know who they are. Anyway I thought I would share a few photos.

Whoa! Now that is one good looking bow. Not really a fan of the other BWs but I could see myself ordering one like that. Didn't know they offered those woods. That stick will mesmerize the deer so you shouldn't have any trouble filling your tag. Good luck.

Guys, thanks for all the kind remarks. I got it all tuned up and shot it some today. Man is it nice. I still have a bit of tweaking to do and will take it to the range tomorrow for a little club 3D shoot. Since my equilibrium went south on me some time back I will probably never be able to do this bow justice as it has affected to some degree my ability to be consistent, but I am going to enjoy every minute trying. I have a hunch my other bows are going to be collecting a little dust for quite awhile.
