That is a beauty for sure. I have a KBX on order that is still a few weeeks out. This post really whets my hunger for it.

Nice Widow. I see a 58" KBX in my future for sure. Widows are bullet proof. When I was at Bear Quest last year I asked Bowdoc, who's had his hands on some of the finest bows ever made, if he could have one bow what would it be. He told my if he was going on a hunt of a lifetime and he could only take one bow it would be a Widow. That say's alot!!!!!

Awesome Widow! Neat quiver too! Great bows and company.

I am really liking the bow but man I am having a hard time tuning it.
The GT 3555's I have don't shoot well even though my other stronger draw bow shoots them fine. Someone mentioned that widows need a stiffer spine since they are past center cut. So I got some 5575's and the fishtailing has settled down some but is still not gone away. I have used multiple head weights on both arrows and all it seems to do is make the arrows hit left or hit dead center of where I aim; the fish tail is still there. I have also noticed that this bow is way sensitive to release and not real forgiving compared to my Samick. Do you think I should try some of the 7595 arrows and see what happens? Arrow length on all of these are 27.5.

Oh yeah, about fishtailing, my friend said that his did it quite a bit but with GT 35/55s (just about the same problem you're having) he bare shafted through paper, kept the point heavy and about 10.5 grains per pound of arrow weight. then he kept moving the nock incrementally lower until it shot well. I can't wait to do this with my own...
I apply a similar method of this when tuning my compounds for FITA and 3D except at 5 grains per pound...
