Silvertip Or Widow

[frassettor]

Are these comparable bows?? Pros and cons with both would be great. The silvertip really caught my eye  :D  . They are both very similar in price..

[Orion]

Richard:  They're both excellent bows, but they do have different feels.  Best to try each before you buy.  We usually have folks with each at most of the WTA sponsored shoots who would be happy to let you try them.

[DEERDOG]

TTT Im really wanting to hear somme comparisons

[Warden609]

I have owned both. A man needs to shoot each bow before he makes this kind of decision. They both shot great for me. Good luck

[Shawn Leonard]

I have owned several of both, as far as performance and quietness the Silvertip, I would also say looks as well. To me grips are everything, so I would ask for one made custom on either bow and be happy, both good bows, but the Silvertip gets the nod. Shawn

Silvertip hands downs outstanding bows faster quieter as Shawn says, if you get one get it with a checkered grip

Silvertips Rule.

I have both, and have hunted with each. They are both excellent, I believe, with all those characteristics we like to have.

I think it really comes down to two considerations:

1. Which do you prefer the looks of?

2. How much time do you have? You'll have the Black Widow in your hands quicker, but the Silvertip is sure worth the wait.

I believe both bows are absolute magic in terms of performance.

take a guess   :D

You could not pick two more different bows.  There is nothing that is similar about them!  Both are made by excellent people, but if it were me, if I had to choose 100 times, I would choose the Silvertip every time.

[scrapiron7]

I have both and I prefer the silvertip. I shoot the tip much better!

I went with Silvertip and have loved it so much I have never tried another.  There may be comparable bows out there, but I am sold,single minded, and not going to try them.  

Everyone has an opinion some better than others, mine is likely not the best one to base decisions on because I have never held a widow, and likely never will.

Bought one trad bow in my life, and will not need another until I cannot pull it anymore.

I like both but would probably give the nod to the Silvertip. The only bow that exceeds both is a Border!  

[amar911]

The Silvertip is a style of bow I like much better than a Black Widow. Don't limit yourself to just those two. There are lots of great bows out there. If you already think you like the Silvertip, you can't go wrong with it.

[jonsimoneau]

Yes.

[Whitetail Chaser]

Do a test drive.  They both have a try-out program.  

I shot both of them.  I now own both of them.

I like the Silvertip better.  Buttery smooth draw and less noise than the Widow.  The Widow seems quicker, but I shoot the Silvertip better.

Look, I really like my Silvertip, too. I might even say it's my favourite bow ever. But, when you have a heap of Silvertip fans like myself telling you to get a Silvertip, well, you won't go wrong, but it isn't exactly objective. As I wrote before, consider the time and the looks, and decide for yourself. If possible, shoot both (not possible where I'm from). But, when you check-out the track record of each bow, you'll be blown away by the credentials of bowhunters who use them, as well as by the animals these bows have taken. Both bows have done exceptionally well on buffalo in Australia and in Africa, to name just one interesting species (okay, they're two seperate types of buffalo, but you get my point). I have experienced hard-shooting, shock-free, forgiving magic from both bows, that has really put the animals down well.

[Dave Lay]

guess I am the odd one out, I perfer the widow, I really like the asbell grip, it has more mass weight (psaII)than the 'tip,  and to me the fit and finish was better, I sold the tip shortly after recieving it,  I just think you would be hard pressed to find a better hunting recurve than a widow pma or psa... although the tip was a beautiful bow, it just wasnt for me... .
