Given those two choices Palmer is a great bow; but all in all the Widow is perhaps a better choice for you. Widow offers a trial program; no excuses for you not to shoot one a lot if you have not already.

I love my Palmer bows. I've tried a lot of bows including widows and for me the Palmer just shoots better.

Love my Palmer it just flat out shoots. I think its apples to oranges with the two bows. A different feel from the Widow to the Palmer. Thats what makes the world go 'round, different strokes...

Palmer is a better bow, especially considering the cost of a Widow. Definitely faster and a better grip. I have ordered 3 new bows from Palmer, he usually is in the ballpark with delivery times but it’s worth the wait. Mike builds every bow so he's not like Widow and building them on a production scale so you can't compare that. I’ve sent bows back to Mike for repair and he’s done everything to my satisfaction. He might not be the most charming person around, but he is honest and hasn’t screwed anyone I know.
There are several used like new Palmers in the classifieds if you need one right away.

For what it's worth both are great bows...Mike's are worth the wait. Again, that's just me.

If you are talking new, Widow is definately the way to go. TheWidow Works dudes are among the finest on the planet and that goes a long way with me. Their customer service is among the best in the business and their product is top-shelf.
I have only had one Palmer. I bought it used and it was an absolute dream to shoot, but it was LOUD! Never could quiet that bow down. I would probably buy another used Palmer some day.

I'll second what Big Ed said. I've shot Widows for 17 yrs. I always got the standard grip. I shot one with a different grip that they offer, and that fit me much better. You can "test drive" a Widow
