Ya you herd that right. A black widow recurve DIED hehe. Actually we were coming in from a snowmobile ride and a ptarmigan chasing session. Park on the high ridges, walk out and spook them to the next country kind of thing being they have been so pressured by shotgunners getting close was all but impossible, we were coming back to get Loel a buddy of mine from the Anchorage area, back home. On the way back in all 20 miles worth each way in beautiful scenic middle of no where grouse watching ALaska, we hit a stupid rail road tie buried in waste deep snow. Needless to say my snowmobile tipped enough sideways to throw both of us off. Loel was holding onto both bows, my crusader and his deceased widow for the ride. Upon hitting the log he tried to throw them clear of us to no avail. He wasnt sure how it happened but his upper limb splinter. He said he had cleared us, the sled, and didnt manage to put any kind of ding in the limbs. This is the 2nd bow he has had limbs split on and widow will do nothing about it! The first was hanging on a wall in the house being shot on a regular basis, but thats not a story I know all the facts. Its just wild they claim these bows can be doubled over backwards but when they get twisted to the side (as we figured happend) and the bow managed to unstring itself, there was enough energy in the bow to split the limbs down the middle and up almost to the nock! My new nickname......The Widowkiller!

and another one bites the dust, YA! hehe.
