Black Widow -- 2 Thumps up!!
« on: July 05, 2012, 08:40:00 AM »
Last year I splurged for my 40th birthday and bought myself a one piece PSRX in bocote. It's a beautiful bow. Well I was disappointed bc I didn't shoot it very good. At least not as good as the PSR I bought used. (same exact specs) 57#@28", 56" well through the year I doubted my ability and questioned whether I developed some bad habits. I noticed the top limb looked a bit twisted but it didn't look like much to me. This yr I took it to the Real Thing and had Tradbow and Warren check it out and both confirmed that both limbs were twisted. Now it was decision time, do it myself, let someone fix it for me or send it back. I decided to send it back. (That was 5 weeks ago.) I even texted swamprat that I was looking forward to getting it back. Well one afternoon I got a call from the
Black Widow factory. They told me they had been working on the bow for a couple weeks and couldn't get the limbs to stay straight. The rep proceeded to tell me they were gonna build me a new bow with the same woods AND add a beavertail grip for nothing! I'm impressed bc in today's society after a year they stood behind their product! They could have used plenty excuses but they chose the righteous path! THATS CUSTOMER SERVICE! made my day that's for sure!

Well it came in this Monday and It sure shoots fine and looks even better IMO. I asked the company to leave out the red so now I just call it the "Brown Predator"!! LOL

Great company. I had a problem with a longbow I bought new from them. Sent it back and they built me a new one and asked if I needed to borrow a bow to shoot while they were making my new one. Outstanding people.RC

No better service than Black Widow. Posting this information will without doubt influence other companies to do a better job with their customer service. I have dealt with BW for over 25 years and have had nothing but outstanding after the sale service! They take care of their customers period!

I bought a new longbow from them 15 months ago.  I happened to have it with me at Compton a few weeks ago, and showed them that my beaver tail grip had come unglued.  A quick look on their part and they said it was not my fault.  They told me to send it with them back to Nixa, and they would fix it under warranty.  My bow went with them on Saturday, and I had it back, with a new beavertail grip, on the following Thursday, free and postage paid.  

I can't say enough good about Black Widow!
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.
