Hardly!  ILF type bows are by far the fastest growing segment of the recurve world today.  Just look at the new offerings not only from the traditional bowers but also the compound manufactures getting into the market.

Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be good.

David no disrespect intended at all towards Ben. I am sure what he repeated that Toby/ Roger said is true... But I think maybe the Guys at BW were pulling his leg...
IMHO a 5000 post thread is not going to cause BW to invest 10's of thousands of dollars to  start making "D" shaped longbows.. Now if everyone from that thread would call them over a months time demanding one?? Maybe??
 If you look, alot of the sponsors here have started making ILF bows.. Morrison, Belcher, ect.ect. It would be only logical that BW would want a share of that pie as well seeing that  it is a growing segment of their base.
I also believe that they may start to produce high end foam limbs..

The ILF idea seems to make sense, but... that just doesn't seem very "Black Widow" to me.  Their prowess is in fast shooting, no-stack, high-quality bows.  I personally don't see them making an ILF riser and sticking it on the selling block.  Then again, ILF-compatible limbs and riser... maybe?

If I were a betting man, I'd put my chips on it being a 3-piece longbow or LB limbs for their risers.  That's what a lot of people have been asking them for, and there are already a pile of BW loyalists who would be looking to place orders for such.  I would be intrigued by a 3-piece PL longbow, but then again, is there much gain in having a 3-piece when I've already got a 2-piece?  Hmmm.

Sorry, fellows! It was a little bit of Aussie leg-pulling! I have no idea, but thought I'd make a joke.

I could see them making a shrew type bow or a 3 piece longbow.

I agree, in the same way people are losing interest in the IPhone.

I would like to see them put out a three piece longbow. Not to picky as long as its a three piece.

My money is on a 3 piece longbow. I just don't see BW, with the marketshare they have making a riser that you could put somebody elses limbs on.

Either way, it's exciting!

I agree, Matt.  

A 3-piece longbow something like a pronghorn... I could see that.   A super short shrew-like bow... that'd be interesting, too, but it could cut into their PCH sales.  

Maybe it's a horse bow.

Very pretty! If I were to let out what it is I would be subject to
Great bodily Harm!! No one is close.

I expect them to make a static recurve with all the good feedback that Quik Styk, EagleWings. Dryad and others have got with the statics. In fact I don't understand what has been holding them back.

God bless you all, Steve

Jerry... I can't imagine that they would let such a secret out!  I remember going to Nixa prior to the release of the PCH, and the guys DID show the prototype to me, though.  I was pretty ignorant of all things trad at the time, so it didn't mean much to me.

You just can't make statements like that, though, because now the Black Widow paparazzis are going to be all over you like white on rice!

Maybe it's an i-bow...

Or better yet, a Black Widow i-American flatbow / i-D-shaped longbow...

It would have a touch-screen and internet capabilities to check TradGang on-stand.
