Retirement bow...
« on: September 10, 2024, 01:53:46 PM »
Will be retiring next month have been thinking I want another bow. As I don't need one..only have 7 now. Been debating between a widow psr or a javaman Elkhart. Have shot the javaman but have no idea on the par. Hoping someone here can tell me the good or bad about them. Thanks

First of all, congratulations on your retirement, mine is a few short months away.
I haven't shot the PSR, but I have a PL and it has the same riser. It seemed finicky at first and I was having some issues being consistent with it, but after making a few minor changes in nock point and shelf material, those issues seem to have gone away, thanks to Mike Bolin who was the original owner of the bow. If the PSR shoots like the PL, you should be very happy.
The Elkheart is a winner. One of my favorite bows ever. I started with a 56" and sold it recently to fund the new 52" Elkheart Magnum which should be ready in the next week or so. The Elkheart is fast and very quiet,  and the grip is amazingly good. I don't see any downsides to the bow. Just make sure to talk with Gregg about the right length for your DL.
Let us know what you decide on.  :archer2:

Both excellent bows.  I'd go with the Elkheart because I know Gregg Coffey from a different pursuit and he's someone I definately would trust and like to do business with.  Tell him "Stumpkiller" sent you and he'll add $15 to your price.  ;-)

Retirement bow, that was my excuse 3 bows ago and I was looking before the last was delivered. In fact the PSR is at top of list believe it or not.

Elkheart all the way... or any of Gregg's bows!!
I've owned three different Java Man models - all are awesome, but the Elkhearts just fit me best!
Gregg is an awesome bowyer & gentleman to deal with, you'll have zero regrets if that's the direction you go.
Congrats on retirement - Enjoy!!

I am always been a recurve guy but those Elkheart don’t make me miss the curves. So fast quiet and accurate. Gregg is a joy to deal to.
