My itch for "new" bows has gone too far. I have bought me "new" bow and it should be here mid week. Its a .... a. ...... Bbbbbbbb ..... Blllacccckkkkkk .....
Its a damn Black Widow okay ! I'm getting an SAII Graybark with 2 sets of limbs, 55# and 59# @ 28"
I know how the SA shoots (buddy has one) and have been wanting a new bow with 2 sets of limbs and for $650 I thought the price was good Suppose to be near mint condition, never taken to the woods.
I dunno if you'll like it or not. Send it to me and I'll give you a complete report when my research is completed. Shouldn't take much more than 10-12 years to generate enough info for an in-depth analysis...
I expect a really heavy bow that was way overpriced brand new and shoot a light arrow slow
Naw, I've shot the SA's before and I shot them well. I'll know in a week or so if I like this one - at least I can say I've been in the "group" and know the secret handshake, eh ?
Yeah, we've had a sudden rash of Black Widow SA's showing up at our club. A lotta the guys have always been huge Bighorn fans and, now that Bighorn has gone away, they've switched over to BW. I've shot a couple of the new SA's and WOW! I'm sure you're going to like yours.
I really liked my widows I just didn't like the service I recieved. I no longer own anything with a spider on it after the last dealings I had with them. Good bows but the new management needs to work on all the employees who answer the phones customer service attitude.
Congrats on a very good purchase SC, sounds like a great deal you got there. What year is it?
Troy, that falling out you & BW had still baffles me, been dealing w/em for years & never heard of that before. I know I aggravated those guys to no end during my last order, (from changing options midstream to rushing the ship date so I'd have the bow for C-dale & lots of stuff inbetween). In each instance they went above & beyond what they had too & all in a VERY courtious/friendly manner.
Vic I know what you are saying. My first order went smooth as silk and both my first two bows were great. Just the third bow i ordered was a bad experience start to finish. Well it started good but quickly went south and stayed there. I hate to be one of the few who says poor things about them but I really feel they treated me wrong and it would take a effort on their part to ever earn my business back. Great bows but thats where my praise for them ends............. To each their own Besides I should have a chek mate 56" hunter showing up soon to hold me over till my 60" hunter II gets done HINT HINT Chad
Well, its a 58" SAII - made in 1995 - looks like it was made yesterday. Guys, this bow is like MINT condition with only a scuff r two on the limbs where it was in a rack - and only oe set of limbs looks to be used.
my necks been hurting (car wreck) but I managed off a few shots yesterday. Shoots dang nice, a bit loud and a bit of vibration compared to my longbow but I like it.
oh no .... NOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!
