In 2007 I had a Black Widow PL II built, 62" and #55@28. That was the Summer before my senior year of high school and it was the Golden Aniversary for Black Wdiow Bows. I worked a full time job with a concrete company and part time for an RV park trimming trees, mowing and watering. Occationally I would offer my assistance in helping people moveo the weekends- it turns out people are very grateful and pay pretty well for that service. Back to the bow...
Will all of my hard work I had made enough money to buy gas and insurance for my Explorer through the Winter, buy school clothes/supplies and most noteably upgrade from my kit-built, glass backed oak longbow to a more efficiant design. I orderd my PL II and was thrilled upon reciept. This bow flung many, many arrows from 2007 until 2015.
My Dad had always liked that bow, but he shot lower powdage due to an old shoulder injury. I figured a good father's day gift would be that bow, so the good people at black widow made a 48# out of my 55#er. The weight reduction worked great. On Fathers Day 2015, I was excited and proud to give this bow to my Dad, who I owe my passion in archery to, and he was more than happy to recieve the gift. This reborn bow flung many more arrows in the hands of another archer.
Fast-forward to Christmas time 2017. Under the tree was a long box wrapped in paper; I was gifted the Black Widow PL II back. My Dad's shoulder will not tolerate it. Even much lighter bows cause pain and it seems that his archery is numbered. I am as happy to get this bow back as I am dissapointed in why it was gifted back to me.
