Black widow bows

[silvertip73]

Can anyone give me quick rundown on the differences in the takedown  models of black widow bows? I can't find on their website where it says what the different letters mean. Thank you, I may be missing it but not familiar with the windows.

PMA is the long riser, PSA is the short riser, and the PCH is the compact hunter.  The PMA and PSA are about the same bow with different riser lengths and site windows.  The PCH is a bit different in that it is shorter yet than the PSA, but also narrower in the  riser and limbs.

PMA 18" riser, PSA 16" riser, PCH 14" riser. The II is the graybark model, the III is the autumn oak model,the V is the ironwood model,and the X is there exotic.

So a PSA III would mean you would have a 16" riser in the Autumn Oak model.

Bow length,poundage,grip,etc are decided at time of purchace.

Thanks for that summation. It's the first time I have heard it explained coherently.

As you can tell from Ken's pictures the limbs are specific to the model.  Left and right limbs are different as well.

While not a TD model my favorite is the 1-piece PA. Here's a PAX in Cocobolo.
