How long did it take for your Black Widow to arrive?
« on: February 07, 2013, 09:05:00 PM »
Just wondering, I ordered one a few weeks ago and have a few more weeks to wait. I haven't purchased a new bow for a few years so I'm really looking forward to it. Anyone order a Black Widow recently. How long until it arrived?    :bigsmyl:  

Thanks,
Tedd

They tell you about 8 weeks, it's usually 6.

I was hoping you would say it its a shorter wait than they tell you! That is a pretty darn good lead time for a bow.
 It's a PCHX. I have never had a takedown. It's got to be really handy to throw in the truck and head to camp.

Hey Tedd , I ordered a PTFX eight weeks ago and been told next week . It would have been ready this week but the BW Gang are picky and will do right .
    It has a Zercote riser and Myrtle Burl limb veneers , the wait is killing me and am doing a lot of Salmon fishing in an attempt to console myself . It`s working (the fishing that is) but the angst is still there .
    The limb veneers came from IdahoCurt are are rather different , they could look like a dog`s breackfast or very nice .
    Guess I be on the river all week .

    Cheers from the Country that has everthing except the Stanley Cup.

Thanks. I'm 4 weeks into the wait. It's ordered just like the photo of the one on Blacky Swarz's website. The bow called "Dark Side". Zircote Riser and tiger myrtle limbs, squared off overlays on the belly side at the limb bolts, no red 52#@29. I draw 30" so it will be about 55lb at my draw.
Are you all using the factory string? It says FF. I don't know if that is the actual string type or some other high performance type. I'm planning on using the gold tip 55/75 that I have for my other bows.

Got my PCHX on Wednesday . Zirrcote riser and Black Limba limbs. Beautiful and one of the best shooting bows I have ever shot. Shooting Widows since 1994. Can't figure out how to post pics anymore but could email a pic to someone who could. Love them Widows. Wait time was a little longer because Toby found a small flaw in one limb and made a new set. Well worth the wait though.

I shoot the D97 string that comes with all my Widows. Gets the job done just fine.

I don't use the factory strings.  They are good strings I just prefer others.

It depends on several factors. How busy they are, if they hit weight or not, and if everything goes right in the paint room. Earliest was 3 weeks, but Roger knew I had a BIG hunt coming up, and longest was 6 weeks. They tell you 8 weeks to give themselves some breathing room if things don't go to their satisfaction. I used to call them at the 4 week mark to see where mine was in production. They didn't mind telling me at all. Very good folks to deal with. I've bought 6 of them so far.
