New Widow
« on: February 21, 2009, 12:38:00 PM »
Well to my suprise I received a UPS tracking number this week from Black Widow that my new 56" 47lb@27" PSA X had shipped a few weeks earier than expected. Yesterday when I returned home from I ripped into the package and was very suprised how beautiful the custom Graybark/crossgrain  limbs bow really is. I almost ordered a PSA X in Zebra wood and then did some thinking that I am a Hunter and graybark would be the best camo for the woods so ordered the custom graybark. I thought I had gave up looks for camo but boy was I wrong this bow is sharp looking my pictures suck and really don't do the bow any justice. Anyway looks are fine but I really wanted to see how the bow shot so I put it all togather, set brace high,nocking point all up and rushed outside to do some shooting. First thing that really surpised me is the fact this bow is very,very quiet and I will be honest I didn't think the bow would be this quiet from BW feedback I have read on this forum. This is one of the top 3 quietest recurves I have ever shot or owned period.I did not shoot the bow through the Chrony it was to poor evening light to get a good reading but the bow has some zip to it for sure using a 500gr arrow. Most important to me I was killing the bullseye every arrow right from the start so the bow is very easy to shoot with accuracy. I am going to do some more shooting today at longer ranges but for now I can say that this is one bow That has not disappointed me it in fact it is a better shooting/looking bow than I was expecting

Mooseman, I ordered the bow first part of Jan this year I beleive. At the time BW said 7-9 weeks I know that depends if they have to order wood and such for the bow so I was aiming for about 8 weeks. I beleive mine took about 5 to 6 weeks which is OK I am trying not to be mad it came early  :)  .

One word...Gorgeous!   :thumbsup:   They make a beautiful bow.  It's hard to decide on wood choices since all of them are nice.

Thanks for sharing!
