Black Widow Longbows

And that Bw is 49 only if you pull 28 in. One lb. aint gonna matter, I would re-mark it and go hunting. Unless you just need an excusse to get a new bow

Hey! What are you doing trying to talk the man out of new bow?! Shame on you.

The more I think about it one of the turn offs for me is all the preload, I shot a Morrision ( beautiful bow) but I dont like alot of "early" weight in my draw. I have heard that bows designed with that type of draw are good performers but just not comfortable for me. I seem to remember the Widow beign the same. As I said I would definatley shoot one first.

I've found them noisy and not real easy to quiet in the past and from photos of those for sale the last couple of years on various forums I see them mostly with 2 sets of silencers. There goes any additional speed. They sure are pretty though,but pretty isn't everything.

Mr. Gowans, We have a member here that was a dyed in the wool widow shooter for 18 years, his handle is larry247, and is one of the best shots I have ever seen, he has won many state championships, and local ones too, and is also on the board of ATAR, the man spent years shooting different bows trying to find something better, he did, and I suggest you contact him and ask his personal opinion on these bows,he doesn't come here often, but does spend some time on the LW, he is a straight shooter, and will tell you how it is, in my opinion,based on my personal shooting experiences with them, they are fine bows but there are better out there, and at a lower price too, I would love to recommend some of the very good bowyers we have here,they build some beautiful bows, but I have not had the pleasure of shooting any of them except for Ferals, and I don't think he built it, and the one Mike Baker built me, now I have no Idea what he charges for them, but the one I have is one of the very best I have ever shot, and until I can get caught back up enough to build myself a new one it will be my #1.......it is that good.

I have owned a BW longbow in the past and shot it for a couple of years. They are certainly well made bows. However, you need to shoot one before you drop the cash. BW did have a try before you buy program, not sure if they still do. As for me, I traded mine and went back to my 21st century, the BW and I just never hit it off.

There is nothing wrong with a BW longbow I have one and shoot it well, very well made. I will also say you recieved some excellent advice from Marc and Parcher. Ken at whippenstick.com builds an excellent longbow I know cause I have one of those as well. There is a bow out there for each one of us -- it just takes time and money to find them -- good luck.
