I cheated on my Shrew this weekend with a Widow.
« on: July 27, 2010, 08:04:00 PM »
Ok, it was several Widows! Took the family on vacation to Branson last week so of course I had to stop in at the Black Widow shop in Nixa. It was heaven for a widder lover like myself. I talked with Roger while I drooled over the wall of bows. I shot at least one of every bow they make except the PMA. I fell in love with a 56" 50# PCHX Bocote with an Asbell grip, but of course my wife said   :nono:  . My second favorite was a 56" 48# PCHII. It was actually a prototype and the one Roger killed his spring black bear with. I had always wanted to pay them a visit and it was the highlight of the trip for me. I would highly recommend stopping by there if you are in the area. Just don't bring your wife.  ;)

I'm glad you had a good time but there's a price to pay. Now you just need to make amends and send the Shrew to Mudd...lol

God bless,Mudd

Mudd, I still love the Shrew, but Black Widow recurves are my favorite. I traded a psax for my Shrew and I still miss her.   "[dntthnk]"

Actually Widows and shrews are very compatible! I shoot mine side by side,they both shoot very close.Definately my two favorite bows.When I stop to take a rest theres no fighting between them,no bickering,Nothing!There both going to travel together this year to Northern Alberta for elk ,so we'll see if they travel well together.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

I also love to visit the "Widow Works".   This fall, I think it is going to be a Shrew and a Widow going to the woods with me.

Hey I was there a month or so ago.  I agree with  you totally.  He said to me when I told him my name, "Oh I know you, you FAX ALL YOUR ORDERS IN". I was thinking "Hey dude she's right here!!"
Very nice people for sure.....

I've bought 4 new Widows and 3 new Shrews over the years. Never been to either shop but I'd like to pay a visit to both. Can't beat 'em.

I love my Shrews but can't find a widow I like.  The widow I shot the best was a PTF.

I thought I would really like the PTF. It shot good but the PSA's and the PCH's were definatley my favorites.

Never owned a Shrew, however have had a few Griffins. It was my go to bow for about four years until I recently shot a PSAX, felt like I was cheating. Have a new go to bow.
