60 Years of Black Widow Bows
60 Anniversary th It's hard to believe that Black Widow is at the 60 year mark. Thanks to the hard work of the Wilson Brothers, who started the company in 1957, Ken Beck and the current Widow Workers we have reached a goal that we are very proud of. In honor of our 60th Anniversary we are offering a version of our most popular model. This SA X (with wood limb wedges and butt blocks in the riser) in the 60” length, custom made to your weight and draw length. The bow will have handpicked Tiger Myrtle limbs and a riser made with beautiful Ziricote. It will come with Anniversary arrow- head overlays. We are truly blessed to be able to do what we love every day and we could not have done it without our traditional family and friends that have chosen Black Widow as their bow of choice. Thanks to everyone who has helped Black Widow in achieving this goal. Shoot Straight, Toby Essick, John Clayman, and Roger Fulton Complete Bow: $1475 Limbs Only: $965 Handle Only: $510

What are the differences between our recurve bow models? PSA II with

A common question we are asked is “What’s the difference between the PMA, PSA and the PCH models?” The
answer is quite simple. In the photo of the three 60” take-down bows on the left, notice the riser lengths of the

and the PCH has a 14” riser with a 3” sight window. Bottom line is that in these three bows the 60” PMA will have
a 2” longer riser than the 60” PSA and a 4” longer riser than the 60” PCH. This allows the 60” PCH to have a 4”

longer working limb than the 60” PMA and a 2” longer working limb over a 60” PSA. The advantage of the shorter Quiver Inserts
risers is that you can shoot a longer working limb with the same length of bow. There will be minimal performance

The difference between the KB, PA and PTF models are much the same. The KB model will have a 2 ½” sight
window compared to 3 ½” on the PA and PTF models. The riser on the KB model is 2” shorter, from fadeout to

FIVE YEAR PRO-RATED LIMITED WARRANTY:
Black Widow has always strived to bring you the best quality bows that you can find. In addition to that, we have taken pride in the appearance of our
bows by adding many exotic woods for you to choose from. Through the years we have tried to pick out the best looking woods to make your dream bow
a reality. We have also tried to use the clearest fiberglass we can find to bring out the beauty of the wood. The producers of the fiberglass used in build-
ing our bows cannot guarantee us clear, “window pane” glass. We, like the rest of the bowyers in the industry, have struggled for years with finding
clear fiberglass. As a result of this we can no longer warranty bows that have small streaks in the glass. These streaks are cosmetic only and do not
affect the integrity of the bow. As always, we will pick the clearest glass we can find to build our bows. Please keep in mind that the darker the limb
wood, the more apt to see these slight imperfections in the fiberglass.
Should damage or failure occur to a Black Widow bow within a period of one year from the date of shipment due to inferior materials or workman-
ship we will make free repair, or replacement if repair is not possible. After the one year period, repair will be made at a reasonable charge. If, at the
discretion of Black Widow Custom Bows repair is not possible, replacement will be made on the basis of 1/48th of the current retail price per month
from the first anniversary of the date of shipment. For example, if the current price of a set of bow limbs at the time of replacement is $645, the per month
replacement charge from the first anniversary date of shipment would be $13.44 per month. If this were to happen after 24 months from the date of ship-
ment (12 months from first anniversary date) the replacement cost would be $161.28 ($13.44 x 12 months). Replacement will be made with a bow of the
same model, or as near as possible if models have changed.
THIS WARRANTY APPLIES TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER ONLY.
The above provisions will apply unless the bow shows evidence of misuse, abuse, alteration, improper handling, or damage as a result of shooting arrows
weighing less than 8 grains per pound of draw weight (we recommend 9 to 11 or more; especially with long draw lengths of 29 inches or more, which can
significantly increase the possibility of limb tip damage when using a high performance bowstring) or during the stringing or unstringing process.
No adjustment can be made until the bow is returned to Black Widow Custom Bows for inspection. If it is necessary to return your bow to the factory for
repair be certain to pack it carefully to prevent damage from shipping. To insure that you do not do something that will void your warranty be sure to read
and follow the instructions in the Owners Manual and watch the Owner’s Manual DVD before assembling, stringing and shooting your bow.

See bow ordering information on page 4 for draw weight suggestions, available options, warranty and other important information. PAGE 19I purchased my first fall turkey tag
in 2016. I felt certain I would never
get a close shot from a tree stand
since they see my every muscle
flinch or twitch and always change
direction.
I was whitetail hunting on a
water hole. This treestand had a
lot of cover behind me. A group
of turkeys filtered in to drink
and I actually missed a hen at
10 yds. Within a few minutes I
heard another group approaching
from behind. I readied my bow
as a hen appeared at 10 feet to
my right. I somehow held it
together and made a perfect shot;
the turkey ran about 10 feet and
died under my treestand. I was
so amazed that I had to keep
checking with my binoculars to
make sure it was really still there
until I could climb down at dark.
I was making my first attempt at
trophy hunting and passed on good
shots at several small bucks this
season. Time was wheedling away so
I took vacation in order to concentrate
on hunting during November. I had
just settled into my treestand that
morning and it was just starting
to get light. I was busy watching
a couple of fawns under my tree. I
decided to turn and get my bow off
the hanger in preparation, just in case
an opportunity arose. Reaching for
my bow, I caught a glimpse of a buck
heading down a path toward me. He
sauntered in to check out the fawns
and then stopped broadside at about
6-8 yds. I drew my PSR and shot. The
buck ran noisily off in the woods and
then came crashing back towards me.
He died about 40 yds from my tree.
Meanwhile down the road, my father-
in-law, Denny Sr. was hunting from a
ground blind when he used his PSR
to connect on a 17 yd shot at another
8-point buck. His buck went down in
sight also. He requires oxygen to get
to and from his blinds, but he is still
out there pursuing his passion.
