I Just Had To Do It:

For some years now I have wanted to replicate my old metal riser Black Widow take down recurve with one employing a wooden riser.
The Widows’ limbs bolt on to the belly of the metal riser but with the limb bolt system I had in stock and using a wooden riser I believed I would improve the integrity of the system by bolting the limbs to the back of the riser.
The stiffened tips really add to the performance of the bow and the slightly bulky riser makes the bow ‘dead’ in the hand.
The bow is 58” n to n and draws 55# at 28”.
As I don’t have the stamina to shoot this weight bow comfortably a new set of limbs could be on the drawing board or I can put the bow into stock and wait for a buyer.

Perry, hope you like this one, it is short, has curves and is not ‘shiny’.
