Curious to see what the Widow Workers came up with. I called Widow last week to get some tillering onfo on a bow and was given a little hint on what it is. I guess we'll find out soon enough  :)    :)    :)

Owlbait, yes it is.

I'm wondering if it's an old model when the Wilson brothers were making them and competing?

Sure hope that is new BW critter is not one I feel I just have to have. My rat hole has been raided more than once this year.

All the hype that has been surrounding the KB has had me worked up for some time. Sure hope she truly is something special and lives up to the hype and then again I would be better off if she didn't.

Note: Limb depicted resembles the PCH from my perspective

hhmmm..

The red core is about all I find interesting..foam?

If I were in charge of the release of this one I'd either show all or nothing.

Everyone is curious about what the bow is and how it's different from the past.

Right now, from these pics, I believe the hype will fizzle.

Show something that looks worthy of the build up or the fire just might go out.

Most likely the red is coretuff glass like the rest of the bows they build.

Same here....I was hoping for a 3 pc TD Longbow  :confused:  

Seems that would be a great addition to their lineup.

Over&Uner, I agree. The hype that was created and the hopes of many that were really expecting something "different" may turn this into a little bit of a disapointment for some. I like recurves over longbows, and I am extremely happy with my PSAX, but I would have like to have seem something "outside the box". A 3 pc. longbow would have been a real winner I think!

I really like one piece bows....this one is tempting for sure.

Anyone know what lengths they will be available in?

Terry,

since it's basically a one-piece PCH the available bow lengths should be the same as the PCH models.

Pretty bow and all.

I was all ready for a "wow that's new" bow.

I'm sure it's quality.

Looks good to me, I was thinking it would be a modified PSR.. I think they will sell a bunch of KBs. I think a 3 piece R/D would be a good seller too

Boy I was expecting something a bit "wowier".

Since it's a one-piece PCH, it's basically a PA with a little bit shorter riser and sight window, right?

Wonder if it's going to be offered in the usual Graybark, Autumn Oak, Ironwood and X versions?
