Sorry Kirk but I disagree with you here. Ben at this over 30 years and I know how to quiet and get performance out of a bow. The black widow is just a loud bow. Ive taken the bow from 8 to 9 1/4 inch brace height and it doesn't help it. There is a reason there are 100s of posts asking how to quiet them. [/b]

But I like curves. ;-) And most of what folks call "longbows" are nothing of the sort. American reflex/deflex flatbows with recuve risers.Just admit you want a recurve and join us . . . Join us . . .
