Evening TG.

Going to be buying a Black Widow hopefully this summer, curious to see what you all are shooting, and why.

I'm a big takedown recurve fan, not sure what model that is for the Widows but would love to see yours!

Can't help you much...but, my good buddy has a PSA Greenleaf 60", 29" draw and just loves his. Good luck.

I have owned both the PSA and PCH and personally I liked the PCH better. I will say the PCH had a low wrist grip whereas the PSA was the standard grip and for me I liked the low much better. I recently sold the PCH in a weak moment but I will have another one day.

I'm a fan of 50's style recurves and I shoot a PSR so no help from me either.

PCH for takedown, KB for one piece. Smoooooooth...

I like the PMA. It has a larger open sight window than the other models and with a larger riser offers slightly more mass weight.

I loved the old MA BW bows, I have owned many of the other models but the MA was my favorite, of course not comparing it to a BW LB, that's another story altogether. I had a wonderful smooth drawing MAII that I killed many a critter with until my old bones could not handle the weight. I'm sure it's still doing a fine job for it's new owner.

Go to Black Widow's factory/office/store, they have lots of bows you can shoot to try out, It is worth the trip if you are not sure what you want. Shot and compare.

You can call and discuss with Roger or Toby. They will be able to make a good suggestion, then do a test drive.

I like the PCH short riser with long limbs makes it smooth.

I recently acquired a used 60” PCH, and have been very impressed. Owned a PSA, and wish I had never sold it. I really don’t think you can go wrong with any of there models. Try to get your hands on a few and see what fits you the best. I’m sure one model will jump out over the rest.

Mine's a one-piece PL so I can't help you.

I have owned a 58" PCH that was 55# at my 29" draw. Great bows. A short recurve can't get any better. With that being the case, when finances needed liquidating my 62" PMA (same draw weight) stayed and the short bow paid for my brakes/transmission service. When in doubt, buy a used one close to the specs you like. If you fall out of love with that bow it isn't hard to get most if not all of your money back when it gets sold again.

I have had a few, my favorite was an older MA should have never sold it. PSA had a couple, have shot a bunch of PCH and like them, just picked a PSA Greenleaf.......we haven't become friends yet. Great bows and the best thing is the customer service.......outstanding !!!!!!

I just sold a PSA I liked well enough. Cut 3/16ths past center you can shoot a little heavier spine and it makes it quiet and shock free.

I have shot several most with draw weights of 50-60@28 and arrows access of 600gr and they shot very very well I am convinced I will buy a new PSR at Kalamazoo in January

Whoops wrong post but I really like the PSR very nice bow

I had a 50lb at 28, 58 inch pch that I bought new. Really nice bow but just couldn’t get use to the grip. It was fairly quiet and was really smooth. Only thing I could complain about is the glass on the limb developed a blemished which happens I guess. This occurred the first month of shooting it. Just doesn’t make you happy when you spend that much on a bow.

I have a PMA and absolutely love it! It will never leave!

Asummerlin · « **Reply #19 on:** December 02, 2018, 09:37:56 PM »

I have a 55# PMA 3 and I absolutely love it. Its such a smooth shooter because of a little more weight in the riser. its great to shoot from the ground and in the treestand also. It has a high wrist grip which is really comfortable. I dont think anyone can offer me enough money for me to ever let it go.
