I've owned PCH -56", PSA-58", and PA - 58 or 60?. 

Oddly enough, the one I can't remember the exact length, the PA was by far my favorite. Mostly aesthetics. Love the grace of that bow. In fact, it is the only bow I ever bought after seeing a father and son elk hunt where Dad was using a PA.  Went to the phone and found just what I was looking for as a "try-out" bow. Got it, shot it, and within an hour had it bought.

Someone else is enjoying that beauty now though.  I'm a bigger fan of Blacktail T2s.  At the moment though shooting new Black Wolf by TT (ILF all carbon riser)... absolutely love it!

Anybody want to post up pictures of their Widows? My brother in law grew up in Nixa which is I believe where BW is located-going to get down there in the spring to shoot a few I think

I like the MA in the heaviest woods available.

I had owned several bows and found predator bows to shoot well for me so I ordered a PMA, which is the closest to the Predator, worked great and love the PMA, my favorite bow for sure.
Purchased a PSA later and it shoots about the same but I shoot better with the PMA.
I only shoot those two widows now but the point is, shoot the bow that is close to what you like, hopefully you have an idea.

Making a road trip down there would be the thing to do if you have the time. All the talking and picture viewing in the world won't come close to having a whole wall full of them to shoot and find what speaks to you. Plan on being there for a couple of days so you aren't rushed.

I've owned both the 58 inch KB and the 56 inch PSR recurve models - both good shooting bows. I've transitioned to shooting longbows so if I were buying another one it would be the PL longbow.

I should be about 28" or so, thinking I'm just gonna go 50# @ my draw length for a more enjoyable experience when shooting, combined with a reasonably heavy arrow will be more than enough for whitetails.

With those specs, there should be quite a few already hanging on the wall there for you to choose from.

I absolutely love my PCH! I thought I wanted a longbow until I went to the shop to shoot some bows.  I freaking love this bow... I've not regretted it for a single second!

When I first got back shooting traditional bea my dream now was a PSR.  Unfortunately they don't cut the risers past center. I prefer an eighth past.

PMA, I prefer a longer bow. BW Attends ETAR in Penn.  You can try any of their bows. Maybe closer for you.

PSA for me. Owned a PCH for a while, it was a fine bow  but I shoot the PSA better. I’ve owned a few widows and have been happy with them all, but the PSA with standard grip just suites me best.  I’d suggest trying a few if possible as I also feel the standard grip shoots best for me.

KBX and PLX for me. I love them all though. I shoot longbows slightly better for some reason. I’m sure it’s the grip.

Which Black Widow?

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!

I have two PCH models 56” graybark & 58” green crossgrain no red exotic ,amazing bows. Tune easy and easy to hit with. I will take some pics and post later.
