These days, many traditional bows will throw a 10 grain/pound arrow at about 190 fps, +/- 10 fps. Most pull smoothly without stacking issues. Most offer custom grips, come in various lengths and configurations and can be made of the exotic wood(s) of your choice. And at traditional distances, most shoot where you aim them. So what else matters? Here’s a few points to consider:
Name several other custom bow companies that have been around for 50 years as Widow has???
Name several other bow companies that have enough confidence in their respective bow to let you "demo" one in the comfort of your home - without obligation to purchase- to make certain that the bow you are considering will meet your needs.
Widow's customer service is legendary and you will not find better customer service. Period. That’s period!.
I've been shooting Widows exclusively for the past twenty years and have never once - not once - hand an issue with any of my bows. Because I'm fortunate to be able to hunt out my back door, my Widows are hunted hard and often and if you inspected them, you'd think that they were just used as wall art and rarely used for hunting. A couple of my oldest Widows have remained strung (other than changing strings, of course) for the better part of twenty years, without issue, and I still shoot and hunt with these bows regularly.
And it's absolutely true that Widows have not just good, but exceptional resale value. I routinely see twenty year old Widows selling for more than what I paid for mine new.
