I have a 56" PTF II.  It's a sweet little machine.  Light mass weight, similar to my longbow.  Short, manueverable and puts an arrow down range with the best of them.  My favorite hunting bow to date.

I have a PTF Ironwood 45 @ 27 56 inches long.  Great tree stand bow.  I have killed 4 deer with it. I took two bucks last year a 6 pt and an 8 pt.  It shoots really well with no hand shock.  I have also placed in a few tournaments with it.  It is a joy to look at as well.

I think this is the only pic I have of my PTF...guess I should take some more!  This was a great spot in the woods... and the widow is resting ...waiting to blood trail.

im sure ill get some flak for this one but in how they shoot and looks i favorably compare PTFs to Shrews.  The Shrew has the superior grip but both bows feel very similar.

'Try before you buy' or buy a used one. I traded a MA that was a little too heavy weight for me, for a TF of lighter weight.

It's a good shooter, for me; and it's a keeper.

I think i liked the TF11 i had better than any widow i've owned. It was 46#@28" 56 or 58", i can't remember. I killed the biggest buck so far with that bow and i sold it.  :(

thats been 4yrs ago and i wish i hadn't. They are sweet bows for sure....

I am fortunate enough to own two TFV Ironwood Widows. Both 60", 49# & 51# @ 26" respectivly. Both have many battle/field scars and shoot great.

I almost sold one to buy a Shrew, but the deal fell through. Still bought the Shrew and glad for that too...... Dig 'em both alot!
