On a recent trip to Branson, MO I talked my wife into a quick trip to Nixa, home of Black Widow Archery. Roger, Vernon and the rest of the BW crew went out of their way to explain their operation and to demonstrate the actual bowmaking process. I came away impressed. If any of you find yourself in that part of the country, make sure you take time to stop. I will warn you, however, that you should think twice before you take them up on their offer to shoot their equipment. It just might cost you a doller or two. I didn't leave with a bow, but Im seriously considering purchasing a PL-V or PL-X TD longbow. Just got to get my coins together.
