Which bow would you keep?
« on: February 11, 2007, 12:31:00 AM »
Got to move a bow soon, and it's between two of my turkey bows....

Bob Lee Classic, 60", 50@28


-or-


Black Widow TFB 60", 48@28"?


Both bows are black and vanish nicely in my Double Bull.........just can't decide!

I'd keep the 50@28,just for the extra 2 pounds of draw weight.

The Widow has great resale value and the Lee is a great bow.  IMHO.

Flip the Widow for the bigger dollar return.

I've owned both brands you mention and happen to prefer Widows...they just feel better to me.  But I'm not the guy shooting your bow.  Sometimes we tend to get too caught up in what others think we should do and forget to let logic and our own preferences/situation suggest a solution.  One logical way is to forget the bows' market values/what others think, carefully test them both from your blind under the same conditions you will be shooting under, and go with the one you feel better with.  Pretty simple.

Both are great bows.  I don't think you'll make a wrong decision choosing one over the other.  Best of luck with the decision.

I shoot them both well, thus the tough decision.  For fun,  I'll tally up the responses in a day or so and sell the one tradgang suggests.

I don't have a clue,I haven't shot any of Bob's bows.I shot a few widows,but they just didn't feel right to me.But,

if you shoot them both equally,then maybe you should ask folks why they would keep the one over the other?It may help you decide?

everyone has an opinion and here is mine...which is based on fact. the Lee is faster. the Lee is lighter in mass weight. the Lee does not look like a block
