Greetings from Black Widow,
55 Years! Whew, my how time flies when you’re having fun. There have been many different bow models in the 55 years since Jack, Bob and Norman Wilson started building bows in their garage in Springfield, Missouri in 1957. To commemorate 55 years of Black Widow Bows, we would like to introduce our newest bow model into the Black Widow fold. The KB recurve model is simply a one-piece version of the PCH take-down with the graceful curves of a lovely lady. The KB designation was given in honor of the previous owner of Black Widow Custom Bows, Ken Beck. Ken has come to prefer the “SHORT and SWEET” hunting advantages of these compact bows.
To also celebrate our 55th Anniversary, we are offering a special laser overlay that can be added to any new bow order in 2012. The Bamboo or Osage inner overlay will have “55th Anniversary” lasered on the top with the spider on the lower (unless you would like something else). The contrasting outer overlay will add a look of distinction to your special bow.
We are also offering a limited edition 55th Anniversary knife made by Tom McGinnis of Ozark, Missouri. There will be a limited edition of 100 knives built. Tom also built our 50th Anniversary knife. The Damascus steel blade and stabilized Osage handle will make a nice addition to your collection.
If you have never shot a Black Widow, we would like to invite you to come by the shop sometime. We are conveniently located between the headquarters of Bass Pro Shop in Springfield Mo. and the many entertainment options in Branson, Mo. Stop by and shoot some of our many demo bows we have on display. Or if you can’t stop by and we didn’t see you at your local 3D shoot, please take advantage of our “Try Before You Buy” Demo program.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal customers. We appreciate each one of you and we will continue to strive to meet and exceed your expectations and hope you can take a Black Widow Bow along with you on your next adventure. Whether your journey takes you to an elk camp in the Rocky Mountains, a drop camp for moose in the Yukon, a Maine black bear hunt or a tree stand in your own backyard, we wish everyone a safe and successful season. A wise man once said “As long as your heart is beating in your chest, God has a purpose for you.”
Shoot straight,
