My old "Widow" Pic
« on: June 02, 2009, 05:18:00 PM »

 My old "78" year model Black Widow cleaned up nice and she still shoots well. She was covered with green and brown paint (real stinking hard to get off paint). She is 55# @ 28".

Here's the riser on this old girl. By the way, we're experimenting growing some tomatoes and peppers in the swimming pool in the background. Those old antlers work good holding plants up. Ralph

I have the same bow H1226, 1976 model, with #46 and #55 limbs in the original canvas factory case. Mine is all black, took 2 deer with the #46 limbs last season, still a great shooter. Thanks for sharing.
