i own 2. the psa recurve and the pl long bow. they are awesome bows. like others have said, you need to test drove one or go to a trad shoot where you can shoot all their models

In a nut shell, Yes they are.

I've been shooting traditional archery for over 60 years and have owned just about every good bow made, many of which have gone by the wayside. I have 3 MAII bows and have shot Widows from when the Wilson Brothers made them to now. There are a lot of good bows out there but to answer your question of whether they are, yes they are. A bit more info than my short reply earlier.

I have an MAII that was a gift from my father. He bought it in the early 90's and it went several years without being shot due to a shoulder injury he sustained. When I got it I lived within a couple of hours of Nixa, Mo so I drove up and the guys at the shop graciously helped me get setup again with a string and checked the bow out to make sure storage didn't take a toll on it. Couldn't have asked for a nicer, easier group to deal with. When I got it home it shot every bit as well as anything else I have ever shot and felt like a natural extension of my arms. I don't get to shoot it enough but when I do I love it. Looking forward to being able to buy my wife one as well.

I have 2 Widow longbows that I will NEVER sell! Im so used to shooting with them that it feels like an old friend when I pick the up and shoot them.

If they ever broke...Well I would go buy another one. Exactly like the one that I was replacing.

Varmint101, what will YOU send me :-)

LOL Uhh, I can't really send it, but you can come down and turkey hunt in the spring in beautiful Brown County Indiana.

Beautiful well performing bows... Even better service from Black Widow. I've owned four BW recurve bows and they have exceeded expectations in every way.

Four2 · « **Reply #47 on:** December 21, 2009, 02:37:00 PM »

I had the same questions about BW's until a couple of months ago. I found one in the classifieds here that spoke to me when I saw the pictures. The price was fair and now the PSA V is mine. I shoot better groups with this bow than any other I own. I would not say that any of my trad bows "stack", but this BW has the smoothest last 3-4" of pull of them all. All I can say is now "I get it" when folks talk about the way a BW shoots.
Best of Luck.

Varmint 101......nice offer!

Black Widows are just what they say they are, well designed bows. I have had a couple,still have one and really like it. One of the things that Ken Beck did and did very well was to create a cult following to his product.They are great bows and I'll have more I'm sure......

Just a opinion from one shooter.
Have owned and shot a lot of bows .
For a longbow Crow Creek or Hummingbird 3 pieces are the best.
For a recurve it is hard to beat the PSA Blackwidow.I have a PSA111 with low grip and no phenolic in the limbs . Light and easy to shoot.Roy

graysquirrel · « **Reply #51 on:** December 21, 2009, 03:52:00 PM »

hard to beat, and the price is no more than others and a lot less than a bear takedown or ACS.
And their service is second to none, period

Keith Zimmerman · « **Reply #52 on:** December 21, 2009, 03:53:00 PM »

I have a PLII and a new PSAX right now. Have had a PSAIII and a couple others. Love them. Customer service has been great. Maybe not THE best bow, as I like Schafers and Allegheny Mtn and Pronghorns, etc. but none better...if that makes sense.

highpoint forge · « **Reply #53 on:** December 21, 2009, 05:07:00 PM »

I hear they are great....but I'm biased. I started off trad only, broke my Bob Lee the first day I had it, and bought a PSAV to replace it. Never looked back. My fatheinlaw introduced me to archery and BW. He has quite a few SA2/SA3 and BW longbows. Schaefers, Great Northern longbows, you name it.

I always looked at them and drooled over them and now matter what other bow i was looking at I always came back to them.Untill this passed summer I got a SAX bocote it is the best recurve I have ever shot. I shoot it better and more constent then any other one I have owned. They are as good as any highend bow and did I say it is a real looker. I will always have that bow in my house. Widow

I've had Black Widows off and on for the better part of 30 years. I currently have a PTF. Excellent bows and even better customer service.

John3,what wood combo you have on the first pic?

highpoint forge · « **Reply #57 on:** December 21, 2009, 05:27:00 PM »

Loks like an MAX Osage?

John Kennedy · « **Reply #58 on:** December 21, 2009, 08:13:00 PM »

That is a PGA golden anniversary bow, nice,aren't they?

Rick James · « **Reply #59 on:** December 21, 2009, 08:53:00 PM »

I've got a SAIII Autumn Oak 58" and as far as recurves go its as good as any I have shot--They make good solid bows and stand behind their products.
