I have a dilemma, I Love my PSA3 w/boo limbs.
   

I also love my TF3 (No pix)

And I got this newer LX (Cocobola)
   

Tough to not shoot the PSA because we have this history:
Alaska
   

My first deer w/recurve
   


Nice problem to have... LOL

Regards,
Bill

OK the PSA is my go to main bow. All the rest are just fun.

I have one of their first longbows, LBS, and it's the only bow I'm spending time with this year. I did get a TF last week, it seems sweet too.

I only have one bow, my PMA II.  I'm satisfied!

Howdy Ben, it WAS cold out there last year on our interior Alaska moose hunt...especially after having lived 7 years in the tropics!  Nothing quite like being out in that wilderness though.  I'm looking forward to when I can do it again!

My PLX Osage, is my favorite of late, but when the chips are down, and I need to "get-er-done" my hard hitting 2001 SAV Ironwood gets the call.

They both shoot where I look, but the physical weight of the SAV, while not my choice for walking over hill, and dell, is my pick it for a stand bow.  

It's weight, in the Ironwood configuration, helps me hold my bow arm steady.  It has accounted for some great shots on the range, and in the field.  

It is kind of funny, because a short time after I got the Ironwood, I put it on ****.  Thank God it did not sell.  I spent an hour on the phone with Ken Beck, trying to figure out what I was doing wrong.  Well we got it fixed, and that Widow, and Mr. Beck, are a big reason why I shoot as well as I do.  I have owned a number of fine bows, of all types, but Black Widow, in longbow, or recurve are  my choice.

My PLX osage is a joy to shoot, light in the hand, and as fast as any of the Widow Recurves I have shot at the same draw weight.  It is my favorite because I can go from my recurve to my longbow with no adjustment time.  It is quick, fast, and silent.  At 62 inches, I can shoot just fine along side of my Girlfriend, she shoots and 58 inch Black Rhino,  in our Eastman Blinds.  

It is a great all around bow.  I know there a many on this site that hate Widows, and I am not going to say it is the perfect bow.  What I will say is that it is the perfect bow for me, my shooting style, and the way that I hunt.  

As "Bill O'Rielly" often says, "What Say Ye?"
Black Widow SAV Recurve 60inch "Ironwood" 62@28
Black Widow PLX longbow 62inch "Osage" 52@26
