And suddenly SHE was there...

Ten months, in this case, is almost 300 days, 7,200 hours, or 432,000 minutes. A really long time—when you're waiting for the "new" one.

Ordered in February – delivered in November. Four months faster than currently advertised on the manufacturer's website. The joy is immense. But let's start where it all began. Namely, with "we're just coming to take a look." Back then, it was me who actually just wanted to take a look. After several grips and just as many different limbs, it was clear... THIS was it. Yes, I know, it's called the bow – but in this case, it's THE Black Widow. "Just taking a look" turned, to everyone's surprise, into "here, take it with you right away."

Petra went through the same process back then. "Just look... wow, awesome... please order me that one." It was supposed to be a one-piece recurve.

...

Ten months later, they met again in Bogenkistl – she had arrived. Right from the start... jealous glances at this beautiful piece came from several sides. Rightly so! I've rarely seen such a beautiful bow.

Toni and Petra unpacked it right away. Strictly following the manufacturer's video instructions—joking aside. They took it out and started shooting arrows right away.

So for Petra, it was already Christmas. She certainly deserved it after all the waiting.

And while you're in Markt Piesting, you'll naturally want to climb Hauer Hill. Another first—Petra was here for the first time. Not exactly THE course for practicing a bow, you might think. What can I say—I got a real kick in the ass in terms of points.

When you're waiting for a custom bow, every day is too long. Still, there are some bows we're happy to wait for.
