My Black Widow PSA V it represents a 17 year wait to get it.

The wife and i rasied 6 kids on a shoe string budget. I would save a little here and there but with 6 kids something would always come up and i would have to dip in and spend the Widow savings, well in 2005 the last son moved out and buy then the wife and i had climed up the ladder in our jobs. About 6 months after our last son moved out and right about Christmas my wife says "why dont you get that bow you have always wanted for Christmas" I gave her a big hug and kiss and did just that. It took 17 years but i got my Widow so i think i will hold onto this one.

My Widow PTFX.   There are a few more that I might list, but I might weaken if the right deal came along.  The Widow, not going anywhere.

Don't ever say never, BUT, I don't plan on ever getting rid of my Arkansas Stick Caddo Longbow by Terry Hughes.  It's 58" 52# at 28".  It's the one bow that seems to shoot where I point the most.

I have sold or traded for over 140 bows over the years. I have 2 though that I would never trade or sell. My RER Arroyo, just because for a 54" bow it shoots like a 62"er and  ishoot it darn good. The other is a bow that I won from RER bows at the Joan Leonard Memorial Bunny Hunt, an RER XR recurve and it is inscribed "Bunny Bow"!! OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Shawn

Jason Westbrook,
That looks like a Root.  What model, lenght and #?  I had one of them in the 60s.
