Widow KB or PCH
« on: January 28, 2014, 10:46:00 PM »
Time for a new Widow should I order another PCH or KB in a short length 54/56" ?  Anyone shoot both models any options?

I have a 54" pch 53@28. Awesome bow. I have a 58" kb also awesome. I love the little bow for turkey's.

I like the KB if takedown isn't a benefit... I have a 54"KB and absolutely love it. Both are great bows and PCH would be my choice if takedown was beneficial. Very similar but KB is smoother to me...

I shoot both, and its a little tough for me to decide which is the smoother bow.  I like a heavier bow, which the PCH is the heavier of the two.  The KB feels a little smoother, but that could be that its 2 lbs lighter in draw weight. I have the standard grip on both.  As Kaz said, If traveling was going be an issue, the PCH is the one.  But I think that they are pretty equal with all things considered.  NOW if LOOKS are going to be a factor, the KB is the more "handsome" of the two.  I ordered my KB after handling Kaz's KB.  I have a tad over 28" draw so I got it in 58".  Good Luck!!

Cody,
Sean is spot on.  I also fell in love with KAZ's KBX; but ended up ordering the PCH for ease of hunting. KB is the sweeter looking of the two; they both shoot great.
One thing is for sure, there will be a trail of dead critters behind whichever one you choose.  See ya in May for a swine time!   :campfire:

I owned a KB, 58" that worked very well with a 27" draw length, hated to sell it but I wasn't hunting with it and hated to see it hanging around on the rack.  I shot the 56" PDH's and preferred the 58" length over the shorter lengths.

sooner or later you will wanting to take that bow on a plane.  PCH would be more convenient. JMO.

Cody, I draw 27.5" and my 54"KB is sweet... I had the privilege of shooting a 54"PCH for comparison and it was very nice as well, but the nod went to the KB... In terms of feel, I had it in my mind that the 54"KB was similar to the 56"PCH and I wanted the shortest I could get while still maintaining all the great characteristics of the Black Widows I know.... I love them both. I like heavier bows as well, but I think the KB has good mass, more than a PTF... I got mine with the stabilizer insert and have a 2" Doinker Chubby hunter stabilizer on it that makes it dreamy!You already have a PCH so get a KB, you'll love it! Smaller sight window than PCH,if that affects your decision...Happy to answer more specifics if it helps...?

Good thing that I read Kaz's post!  I didn't realize that you already had a PCH.  Get the KB!!!  love owning both bows.  I'll probably never part with either, definitely not the KB!

 I love spending somebody else's money!!

Yes I have one 54" PCH right now thats seen alot of field use its been my main hunting bow for a couple years.I had a couple PCH's but sold/traded one off I wish I had it back I miss that bow alot   :(  
 It was a hard choice, but I ordered two new KB-X's. I went with a 54" and a 56" model KBX, I also draw 27" and really like the 54" bow for hunting and the 56" just happened. Buckster I will be sporting two new Widows for the May  swine hunt   :)

As long as its a Widow you can't go wrong I have two CHX's and love them I have never shot a KB but sure would love to. I have two CHX's and a SAX I like the CHX better then all the other bows I have owned I am thinking about selling my SAX and my backup CHX and ordering another CHX like the one I ordered for myself two years ago and maybe some spare limbs also.    Widow
