The PSA series take-downs are designed with greater accuracy, detail and consistency than we have ever been able to achieve in the past. The black “phenolic” riser sections of the handle and limbs make a distinctive two-tone contrast; plus they are more impervious to moisture in the critical areas around the mounting pins and limb bolts. The extended shelf provides more protection for the hand and the outside edge of the shelf is relieved to make it easier to achieve good arrow flight off-the-shelf. The PSA has a two inch shorter handle than the PMA series and is intended for the instinctive shooter that can utilize a shorter sight window than the PMA series. The shorter handle, in turn, allows for a comparatively longer working limb, making it possible to use a shorter overall bow length for greater maneuverability.

• LIMB LENGTHS: 56", 58", 60" and 62". Black phenolic riser sections. Vertically stacked, tapered laminations reinforced with a woven glass center core. Faced with transparent fiberglass.

• HANDLE: 16 inches. Deflex design. Reinforced with pre-stressed multiple layers of red, black and white fiberglass. Full 4 inch sight window cut 3/16 of an inch past center. Extended radiused shelf. Black Widow medallion inlay. Brass inserts for side-mount quivers, sight (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: 3 pounds for 58" bow.

• FINISH: Sealed and protected in nonreflective “Frost” (matte) clear marine epoxy. All inserts and bushings are solid brass.

26" to 28" Draw → 58" Limbs

28" to 32" Draw → 62" Limbs

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.

 

PSA II Graybark TAKE-DOWN RECURVE: The natural camouflage of the “Graybark” birch laminations blends beautifully with the gray of tree bark, trunks and limbs.

 

PSA III Autumn Oak TAKE-DOWN RECURVE: The “Autumn Oak” birch laminations have the same hue as the leaves of a frosted oak during the fall whitetail hunting season.

 

PSA IV Greenleaf TAKE-DOWN 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!

 

PSA V Ironwood TAKE-DOWN 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

 

PSA X Exotic TAKE-DOWN RECURVE: X stands for “Exotic!” We can build your X bow with one of several exotic woods of your choice. 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.

 

PSA C Carbon TAKE-DOWN 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.

 

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.

Frequently asked questions

(This question is one that we are asked most often) This is a very tough question to answer, as there are numerous variables involved in the determination of arrow speed. Long draws and smooth releases will aid in increased arrow speed and vary from shooter to shooter. Just remember that you need to shoot at least 8 to 11 grains (we recommend 9-11 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) of arrow weight per pound of bow that you draw. The answer is not set or simple so we recommend that you contact us with the specifics of your setup and we will try to help you get a good idea of your arrow speed.

We recommend that you order your bow length based on your draw length, measured to the far side of the shelf. Refer to the catalog for draw length recommendations. More than one length may work. As for the poundage, if you shoot a compound and are new to traditional archery, you would probably want to drop about 25% from your compound weight. If you are shooting a traditional bow now of a different brand, keep in mind that Black Widow bows, as well as several other high performance traditional bows, shoot much harder than bows made twenty or thirty years ago. So don’t over bow yourself. We have found that 45 – 55 pounds should be enough bow for most small to medium sized game animals. Ken preaches accuracy-accuracy-accuracy and that comes from being able to control your bow.

We try to base the answer to this question on what you are going to use your bow for. Hunting, target/3-D, recreation, etc. The PMA series is the “old naildriver” and is considered the best choice by our tournament shooters. Those of you who like to take the longer shots might want to look at thePMA. The PSA was designed due to the number of instinctive shooters in the market requiring a shorter hunting bow without using sights. The PSA is a good choice for most bowhunters. The PTF series is basically a one-piece version of the PSA and is favored by bowhunters due to its simplicity and light weight. The PSR recurve was designed with the romance of the 50’s. It's short and maneuverable for blind or tree stand hunting. It has the exact same grip and riser as our PL longbow, which makes it unbelievably easy to switch back and forth between these two bows. Finally, thePL. It is one of the smoothest longbows you will ever shoot and the transaction from a recurve to this bow is as easy as it gets.

We have a fleet of demo bows available for our customers to try in their own backyard. In order to try one out, you must first call us to determine which bow is for you and it’s availability. Then, you may use a credit card or money order to pay us for the cost of the model you have selected, plus UPS Ground shipping to you and back to us. You may then keep the bow for approximately one week and return it to us. We will either credit you back for the cost of the bow or roll it into a new bow order. If you order a new bow, shipping will be no charge. The bottom line is that if you demo and decide not to buy at this time, you are out about $50.00 in most cases for 2 way shipping. If you order a bow, you are only out half of that amount
