Does anyone recollect if BW ever made bows, around 1994, in all black ?

Thank you

Yes they did. I may still have one of there catalogs (a pamphlet at the time) showing a black bow option. One of the members here, Desert Dude, got one in a trade I believe and stripped the black off. Looked like a regular bow , no blemishes or inferior materials like one might suspect.

Indeed, my first Black Widow was a brand new 1987 HS60 all black 3 piece takedown. Still have it today. I had it reduced and refinished so it’s now Black handle, blonde maple limbs with Diamondback skins. Absolutely stunning and still shoots incredible… :campfire: :goldtooth:

They used to offer it as an option in their catalog for a slight discount.   Nothing wrong with it but wood appearance not up to their standards

They Made a model they called the MB it was an all black model that was the same as the MA II and III.  Just painted black.  This is a pic of my MB from 93 Alongside my MA III.  I hit it with spray paint. :bigsmyl:

This is the HS model that KAZ was talking about.  Never used mine as hard as KAZ did but they are a great little bow. They had a metal handle.  At one time I had three of em long story...

My first BW longbow (LBS) I believe was a 1992. Sadly, at 57# it became too much for me and I sold it.
