Bow exceeded expectations (now with picture)
« on: January 01, 2011, 04:26:00 PM »
I just picked up a used but in mint condition BW PSAX "Tulipwood" recurve. To say this bow exceeded my expectations is putting it mildly. I love the way the bow looks, weight of the bow, smooth draw, silent thump, Asbell grip, and I really love the way this bow works with me to send the arrow on the mark.
I'll post pix soon. It's a bow like this that makes me shiver when I hear people call BW's, plywood bows.
It's also a bow like this that seriously makes me ignore all of me others. Well at least for the short time.

BW sells a lot of "plywood bows".  Guess there is a reason. Good for you and good hunting.

Always pleased to hear that someone has found a bow that fits them and meets or even exceeds their expectations. That's the objective.


Congrats!!!!!!!!

Congers on the bow.I have two widders and love them.

If BW are called plywood bows, then the only real bows are the self bows.

Most accurate and pleasurable bow I've ever shot was my MAV - really really really wish I didn't sell that one   :banghead:  feel free to send it back to me if you have the one with my name on it.

Gotta love that plywood!!  Geeze...I have not heard that one for years!    :saywhat:  

I have owned two BWs - MA,SA..and liked them a lot.  I guess if I think about it, I have never owned or shot anything other than laminated.

The best thing about this bow is that it is 56" and feels like a 60"
