PA Custom Bows

We have taken the design of our 50th Anniversary PGA bow and built the PA one-piece recurve. It has the same limb design and geometry of the PSA and PTF models. The riser has slightly more mass weight than the PTF and looks more like a one-piece PSA. Like the PSA and PTF, it has extended radiused shelf which makes it great for the instinctive shooter who prefers shooting off-the-shelf. The outside edge of the shelf is relieved to achieve good arrow flight off-the-shelf. • LIMB LENGTHS: 56", 58", 60" and 62". Vertically stacked, tapered laminations reinforced with a woven glass center core. Faced with transparent fiberglass. • RISER: Deflex design. Reinforced with pre-stressed multiple layers of red and black fiberglass. Full 3 1/2 inch sight window cut 3/16 of an inch past center. Extended radiused shelf. Black Widow medallion inlay. Brass inserts for side-mount quivers, sights (Kwikee Kwiver), or stabilizer available at no additional charge (please specify). • BRACE HEIGHT: 8 1/4 to 9 inches (from string to throat of grip). • MASS WEIGHT: 2 3/4 pounds for 58" bow. • FINISH: Sealed and protected in nonreflective “Frost” (matte) clear marine epoxy. All inserts are solid brass. PA II Graybark ONE-PIECE RECURVE: The natural camouflage of the “Graybark” birch laminations blends beautifully with the gray of tree bark, trunks and limbs. PA III Autumn Oak ONE-PIECE RECURVE: The “Autumn Oak” birch laminations have the same hue as the leaves of a frosted oak during the fall whitetail hunting season. PA IV Greenleaf ONE-PIECE RECURVE: The “Greenleaf” birch laminations will blend in with about any hunting situation. Whether out west, your favorite tree stand or chasing those spring turkeys! (See photo on page 30.) PA V Ironwood ONE-PIECE RECURVE: The “Ironwood” bow has vertically stacked, bamboo laminations in the limbs to further enhance the feel and performance. We stain the bamboo laminations to compliment the rich, brown color of the exotic wood in the riser. PA X Exotic ONE-PIECE RECURVE: X stands for “Exotic!” We can build your X bow with one of several exotic woods of your choice (see page 1). All of the Exotic models (with the exception of Osage and Yew) will have vertically stacked, bamboo laminations in the limbs to further enhance the feel and performance. This may require some planning and discussion by phone, please call us for details. PA C Carbon ONE-PIECE RECURVE: Black Widow Custom Bows is now offering Carbon in our limbs! The Cross Woven Carbon design will add increased torsional stability, making limb twist virtually impossible. The Carbon also helps the limbs recover quicker which makes them considerably quieter (not to mention 3-5 feet per second faster, depending upon the weight and draw length). If you are looking for the best that modern material has to offer, combined with the Black Widow design and craftsmanship you’ve grown to love, then give the Carbon Bows some consideration. You won’t be disappointed. COMPLETE BOW COMES WITH: #300 Flemish-twist DynaFLIGHT 97 string #306 Bow stringer #332 Nocking points #308 Spider string silencers #312 Bow tip protector #322 Calf Hair shelf rest / strike plate #901 Owner’s Manual PA SERIES: RECOMMENDED LIMB LENGTHS 23" to 26" Draw → 56" Limbs 26" to 28" Draw → 58" Limbs 27" to 30" Draw → 60" Limbs 28" to 32" Draw → 62" Limbs (Draw measured from string to far side of shelf) At your draw length you may opt for the shorter limb that is a little more maneuverable or for the longer limb that is slightly more comfortable. The decision is yours. 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 building 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 workmanship 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 $900, the per month replacement charge from the first anniversary date of shipment would be $18.75 per month. If this were to happen after 24 months from the date of shipment (12 months from first anniversary date) the replacement cost would be $225 ($18.75 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 before assembling, stringing and shooting your bow.
