Little Target Practice
« on: July 28, 2016, 07:54:00 PM »
Well it was a hot day and I was a little down...not being able to attend ETAR again for the 5th year in a row.  This year not being able to hear anyone would have been a bit rough. So to help cheer myself up, I picked out a few target bows that I haven't shot in years.  Just seeing all that Rosewood and so smooth/easy shooting sure helped my funk...tippit

From the top...

Hoyt Pro Medalist...69" 35#@28
Black Widow Wilson Brothers X-99... 66" 36#@28
Wing Presentation...69" 37#@28
Wing White Wing...66" 40#@28
Bear Tamerlane...66" 42#@28

I could only dream of having just those 5 bows, let alone what else you got! Really gorgeous, you have something there to be very proud of. Cheer up brother, you have a lot to live for!

Not to rain on your thread but can you give a little history on the Wilson Bros.? Very nice by the way!

They started Black Widow bows back in the 50's and were know for great target bows. Do a Google search on Wilson Brothers Black Widow bows...lots of info. This is a good start on them...

Old target bows warm your heart two fold...just seeing how beautiful they are and then how great they shoot.
