Greetings,
As we continue to build on our rich heritage started by the Wilson Brothers in 1957, given new life by Ken Beck in the eighty’s and then passed on to us, we would like to introduce you to our newest addition to the Black Widow Family. The Precision Compact Hunter “PCH” is making its debut in the 2010 catalog. We have successfully field tested the new model and feel that it is going to fill a need for many of our customers that are wanting a more compact and stable bow for treestand and ground blind hunting.
I was shooting my PCH II when I harvested my first black bear. Needless to say it was a phenomenal experience. Toby Essick and myself enjoyed our fall hunt with Squapan Mountain Outfitters in Mapleton, ME. Our guide, Tony Boucher, and his wife, Lynn, rolled out the red carpet for us. Toby harvested his bear on the first night of the hunt. He was using his PL X takedown longbow. We would like to thank Tony and Lynn Boucher of the Squapan Mountain Outfitters along with Bill and Dick Langer for making this a very enjoyable, successful and unforgettable hunt.
We would also like to thank the rest of our team for helping us to help you get the Black Widow Bow you have dreamed about. Greg Gardner has been with us since the spring of 1992. He files the limb tips and string grooves and runs the CNC milling machine. Tim Hutcheson started in 1995. He glues the limbs, handles and one piece bows and gets them ready for the paint room and also runs the mill. John Wilson began in the summer of 1996. He takes the bows from the mill to the paint room which has him sanding quite a bit. He also paints the bows. Vernon Blitch joined the team in the summer of 2001. He answers the phone and fields most of the questions regarding tuning. Ray Caliendo also started in 2001. He programs the milling machines and keeps them running smoothly. The last member is Phyllis Porterfield. She started in the fall of 2005 answering the phone and filling orders; Oh and Ken Beck also comes in from time to time.
We will do our very best to make your adventure with traditional bowhunting more exciting with each passing year.
If you have any questions about our custom bows please give us a call.
A wise man once said “As long as your heart is beating in your chest, God has a purpose for you.”
See you in the woods!
