No Complaints

At just on 30m the Black Douglas and a 650gr arrow was a lethal combination for this billy. Too rank for my taste, but no complaints from my dogs who are very fond of a "chevon" meal.

Re: PL-X Blackwidow longbow 67#@28"

Seems to have done the rounds since I bought this bow new in Oct 2006, at that time it was somewhat more costly i.e. If in good nick $600 seems reasonable

Bow $1150 US = AU $1513.96
Sundry $AU: Shipping $119 Import Costs $ 253.14 Bow Total Cost:$ 1886.10AU
