Did a brief search but had no luck. Is there an accessible archive for the older Black Widow bow models. Any help much appreciated  :)

BD,

Ooh!
You wouldn't have any catalog info on an M58 from 1967 would you?
I find the older I get, the less I used to know!

Brian,

Here's a page from a 1963 Kittredge Archer's Bible mail order catalog showing the Black Widow lineup (or some part of it). Does this help?

Longbowz,

You asked about a Black Widow M58 from 1967. Not sure if anyone has PMed you info. But here’s a good presentation of mid-1960s Black Widows, including the 1967 M58.

 

That value-packed Black Widow was an excellent buy in 1967. It sold for $49.50, and as I recall, shot very well.

Thanks all of you  :)  I was asked if there is a Black Widow model "Red I.P.S." or something similar?? Is there any such thing in the Black Widow line up?

What does your catalog show about a '64 Widow H-101?
