I was trying to order a new PLX but wanted a custom job and wanted to know what I would be limited to first email was responded to and after another 4 unanswered emails I finally heard back and he actually refered me to a different bowyer. All I wanted to know was what my options were before placing the order. I have ordered a number of custom bows from other bowyers and all of them were more than happy to tell me what I could and couldn't do.
The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can't are both right!!!

Some points on the 2 bows (I have both):
1. PL cut to center - T-Hawk + 1/16
2. PL can be had to 66inch - T-Hawk to 64.
3. PL looks slightly more R/D
4. PL seems to have more mass weight.
5. PL is more costly - there is a build time.
6. T-Hawk may be instock.
7. PL has carbon in limbs.
8. Only T-Hawk "Diamond" has carbon in limbs.

So - both are great bows - you won't go wrong with either.  I have three T-Hawks and a PLX.  I will be ordering a second PLX very soon.  By the way the T-Hawks are made by Bill Forman of Great Plains Bows.  I have had only great service from both 3RA and Widow.  H

Robhood23,   not sure about BW's email,  but  I have called them and they have been beyond helpfull in answering questions, helping me pick out materials etc.    Im sure they have heard my questions thousands of times, but acted like I was the ONLY customer on the planet when I was talking to them.

Ive only shot 1 PL,  and liked it alot.   Wasnt the smoothest, maybe not the fastest, but just felt "solid", steady, consistent,  and obviously built extremely well.... a good thing in a bow that will be hunted hard!
