Shot a Blackwidow

09-09-2007, 11:58 AM

Holy cow, I went to Matt/PA's house to buy another bow, and shot his black widow. It felt nice and fast and shockingly quiet. Wished I didn't shoot it. Now look at my dreamcatcher with a different look.

I got spider-bit a few years back.It hasn't been the same since

Only thing I didn't like, was it was about 3 times heavier than my dreamcatcher. But I guess thats why it was so quiet.

The t/d's have some weight to them but they are very stable shooters.I have a PSAX t/d and a TFV 1-pc.The grips are the same and they shoot very much alike,but the TF is much lighter

I just got done shooting about 50 arrows off her tonight Mark.........it never gets old.

You will never look at the tradtional archery classified sitesthe same way again. Just for reference sake: (cause I know you're trying to justify it. LOL) The model you shot was an SA V "Ironwood" 62", 57# @ 29".
It's a little under 62# at my 30.5" draw length.

Gotta agree with ya on that,Matt.I just got my new Northern Mist Baraga longbow,64",55#@27",that I ordered back in May at the Baltimore shoot this past Friday and although it's a beautiful bow and a great shooter-it just doesn't give me that "warm,fuzzy" feeling like my Widows

Already on it.

If you are looking atbuying used, my advice would be to shy away from the older model longbow--big difference in it and the newer style, at least in the ones I've shot.
