Black Widow, a shout out
« on: June 18, 2021, 12:59:21 PM »
I sent a set of limbs out for a reduction and refinish, they said 3-5 weeks !! I just got them back today, just 4 weeks including shipping time. Hit the desired weight right on the mark. Their reputation is well known and deserved !!

They reduced them 3 pounds, 45 down to 42. They look brand new and smooth as butter…..

I have sent in two one pieces to be reduced and refinished and they look like new.  Had my first widow refinished after beating the hell out of it and it came back looking new as well .  So I started beating the heck out of it again.  Top shelf

Gary, the 64 incher went from 69@28 to 61@30. So roughly 55@28.  They told me they can usually take a lot off the heavier bows.   The other one I cant remember where it ended up at cuz someone bought it before I even got it back..

I’ve also had a few bows refinished and had one reduced. They can tell by the bows serial number if it can be reduced and how much. I’m a loyal widow guy
