Got a new Widow yesterday...sort of
« on: March 26, 2011, 12:47:00 PM »
Well I picked up a LAG off the classifieds a few weeks ago from "weezy".  A few days later I sent it to Nixa to have the old "web" finish removed and a nice Frost finish put on.
When I opened it up yesterday it was as exciting as getting a brand new one.  The guys did an outstanding job, I'm thrilled with it.  62"  53@28.

Turkeys beware!

Eric.

That's pretty Erick... but it suprised me...lol it's not a Mohawk...lol

I know we can all shoot different kinds and styles of bows and love all of them we shoot.

I was just saying thanks for sharing but yanking on your chain in the process.

How cool is this? Way!! I'm saying....

God bless,Mudd

Mudd, LOL.  When I was posting this I figured some would be "shocked" that it was not a 'hawk    ;)  

And yes Bob was great to deal with, as a matter of fact I was briefly tempted by the Fox Breed had for sale yesterday. Fortunately it sold before I had to cross the river and grab it   :)

I have an old LBS that has the same grip as the LAG. I recently took the Sure grip off it and like it even better thinned down that way.

 IMO it’s a better grip than my new PLX, but I’m starting to adapt. LOL

Yeah Eric, you took me by surprise with you buying something besides a 'hawk. Nice looking widow though.

Thanks all.  I've wanted a Widow since I first shot one about 26 years ago and this one just kinda called out to me.  I still consider myself a "Mohawk Guy" though.  As a matter of fact
Rob D. sent me one of his short take downs to try out so I'm cooking up some ideas for a new Mohawk towards the end of the year maybe.

Eric.
