Yes Sir....I've always appreciated the way that Black Widow's shoot and feel....but this is one of the first ones that I actually LOVE the way it looks!!

And it is a nice bonus to have that shelf on the "right" side as well!!!

4dog · 03-14-2017, 09:17 AM

Ooooooo pretty

MedicineMan7 · 03-14-2017, 09:28 AM

Never been a big widow fan (even though I've owned them) just because they all look the same, but that is one pretty bow!
I like that they have started changing up from the same old autumn oak and gray bark laminations and doing more of the "exotic" series bows.

MEsquivel · 03-14-2017, 10:01 AM

very cool!

tradtiger · 03-14-2017, 10:43 AM

Beauty!

Rafter S · 03-14-2017, 10:51 AM

Been wanting. Widow for a long time. She is a beaut

Straitshot · 03-14-2017, 03:46 PM

Danny,

NOW YOU ARE COOKIN'! Nice bow! That is almost as good a lookin' as my SAXS. Love the wood combination and that there is no red in it with that combination.

Hope you have years of enjoyment shooting it. I sure like mine.

Hey Louis, I was thinking about your SAXS when I bought this one!! Didn't you have antler bolts on it? I was thinking it was yours I had seen with them....may have to start shopping for a pair for this one!

60 Deluxe · 03-14-2017, 08:55 PM

I really like the wood combination. It is a pretty bow. I hope that you shoot it as well as it looks.

Hunter Todd · 03-15-2017, 07:28 AM

Congrats on a Beautiful bow. Oh, and the shelf is on the right side too.

splitfinger · 03-15-2017, 09:16 AM

Great looking bow. Only problem is the shelf was cut on the wrong side.

Straitshot · 03-15-2017, 08:08 PM

Danny,

Yes, I have antler bolts on mine. I ordered them from BW but asked them not to put the spider web on them. I wanted them plain so I could fix them up the way I wanted them to look. I scorched them with a torch so they didn't look so white and mounted sterling silver arrowheads on them. They turned out looking pretty good.

I thought it was yours I saw those on!! I love the darker color! When I get some I will experiment a little with a torch to darken them up as well....

Dry Bones · 03-15-2017, 08:59 PM

You might could save yourself a little more cash and just make them. I did for my takedown, though I did not do anything cool like scorch and silver.
I just took a large set of sheds, cut the length I wanted pilot the hole in the bottom where the screw head comes in and then set in JB Weld. I did engrave my initials and use a dark polish t darken the white.
If you will square off the shoulders of your bolt a little and not oversize the tap, then the bolt will fit snug and reduces the chance of twisting out the center.

M.E.B. · 03-16-2017, 01:05 AM

Very pretty

Randy M · 03-16-2017, 05:50 AM

Gorgeous bow. Congrats!

Great idea, I may try building my own first....I have some big sheds in the garage.....need to see if I can find a matched set.

I have done this before and it works great. I did have one set that the JB Weld didn't hold so I drilled thru the antler and bolt and installed a small brass dowel rod. That did the trick.

Best of luck and again, a beauty of a Widow.

Featherflinger has antler bolts on his and they look great. I think he told me he ordered his from Talltines though. They don't have the spiderweb either. I'll eventually add a set to my bow too, but I may just go with the factory ones from BW.
