The new bow is here!

[moog5050]

Had to share my excitement. Ordered exactly what I wanted from black widow and she shoots as good as she looks. So happy with it. The deer should be afraid, very afraid. Lol

And not too shabby for a 58" hunting bow:

What was the distance on that target picture? Also cool looking bow

The target was shot at 20yds. And that is better than a typical 5 arrow group for me, as you can see from the other holes on the target.

awesome.... I've tried looking for them used for a couple years.  finally gave up.  they seemed to hold their value more than I was willing to pay.  might as well have bought a new one.  shot multiple bows from them and seems along side any production bow they really spit the arrows out in a hurry for a trad bow.  unless a widow is tuned way out of its sweet spot for brace height then they're deathly silent too.  worth the money if you're willing to spend that much as are many other custom bows.  almost feel like Pygmy looking at a classic high grade gun.  thing's a gorgeous work of art.  like the limbs.  seems like most windows widows! I've seen are just black.

Beautiful and deadly indeed! Sweet bow! I'd be getting my affairs in order, if I were a deer on your hunting property!

[moog5050]

LOL - thanks guys. db, you can usually pick up used BWs from around 600-750 depending on age and condition - a lot for a used stick and string but they will hold value. I have tried a lot of different trad bows. The BW grip and heft just agree with me. They are quiet and tend to hit where I want without too much fuss.

He got the camo Crocs for free as part of the deal, too.

Ha. You probably got tired of me texting photos of my arrow groups last night. I should have texted photos of the crocs - those crocs have now lasted 3 seasons of hunting and still look new. Great $20 buy. I will admit they are very ugly, but convenient.

Congrats ! But at first glance I thought it said ," Boy ! "

I got camo,croks for Christmas , per my request . Great for driving to and from hunting , leave the muddy Muck boots in the trunk .

I used to say the only man who should wear plastic shoes is GI Joe .....

That is sharp!

Any future plans to experiment with stone tipped sticks?

Saving the knapping for when the Atlatl is legal - should be included in the crossbow bill.

I do have some new wicked sharp German steel for BHs though. Looking forward to trying them this year.

Great bow moog!

 

Tell me more on you broadhead/arrow combo??

 

I'd LOVE to shoot a 50# 28" bow someday, again.

 

Started with a 45# Bear Grizzly before (probably!) before you were born.  When I was into traditional archery seriously (1987 +/- until 1999) I used 63#-70# only 'cause everybody else was.   I bet that is a dream to shoot.  Black Widow has been at the top of the heap for many, many years.

 

Nice.............

[nycredneck]

Simply gorgeous bow, and some fancy shooting too.

[moog5050]

Thanks Law. I don't like putting it down. Lol. I just seem to shoot 48-54lbs the most accurately. Plus, I can shoot this DW for hours, which I do sometimes. I shot one of my best 20yd NFAA scores with a 70lber but I sold it and decided to stick with the lighter weight and really enjoy it. Too light and I lose the feel in my back so high 40s is my minimum. I draw to just under 29 so this is closer to 52-53lbs for me which is perfect.

I like to use full length arrows at the 12-13 gpp range. I don't shoot past 40yds much so trajectory is fine and the full length and weight shortens gaps for me. 35yds point on and about a 15" gap at 20yds (although I set gap at arrow tip and it's about an inch at 20). Shooting full length FMJ 300s with German kinetic 210g heads for a total weight of 640ish. They pack a punch for sure and the bow is very quiet and forgiving when I have a bad release.

Give it a run again. I bet you would regain those skills quickly.
