BW longbows, in the weight your looking for, are seldom seen in the TG classified. The bows do appear on occasions but seldom below 50@28. Your best bet would be to go to the BW web site and look under the Widow Wall for used bows being offered for resale. Good luck in your quest.  :archer2:

I am going to be ordering a PLX very soon made with Honduran Rosewood. In my experience they are a very fast and smooth longbow. Maybe not the fastest out there but plenty fast at 190 fps at 9gpp. It is a well built bow tough enough to be hunted with hard and take it as well. On top of that the boys at Black Widow are as nice a bunch of guys you would ever want to meet.

I got another being built right now. All black riser,black glass belly,Eastern Diamondback back,and belly overlays. No red. All black string,black beavertail Toby grip. The boys are even staining the bamboo limb core wood in grey to match the skins. I can't help it,I'm an addict.

I was always a BW recurve kinda guys for years, owning 4, trading 3 and keeping my PASX Osage that is my big game bow (73# er).

But I always fell for the romance and lure of the longbow and after a few years I built up the courage and placed an order for a T/D PLX in Kingwood, 63# at my 29" draw. Being a recurve guy for years I ordered the older style grip, the LAG and was not dissatisfied what so ever!

I can switch from my recurve to my longbow and still hit where I aim and there is something special walking the woods with longbow, hand made arrows in hand.

I had a PL V and it's one of the very few bows I regret selling. A pleasure to shoot...quiet, decent speed, no handshock to worry about and I loved the grip. I always have my eye open for one in the same spec's that I had
