I ordered a new bow from Black Widow in 2005. I was talking with them about their bows, they wanted me to have the right bow for what I was wanting to do. I was told that there was only a 3 fps difference between the two in their 3 piece T.D. design.. bamboo was the "faster" of the two. I went with a PSA with gray actionwood limbs, it was a very nice shooting bow.
