There is (was) a Korean import knockoff that copies the Widow, but I have CRS and do not remember the name.  I will edit the post when I think of it.   :thumbsup:  

It was not a Widow or Habu...but he did not have to take out a loan to buy it either.   :D

Check Mate Firebird.  Had one once, wish I would have kept it.  Now they are no longer made.

If you are talking mass in riser and shooting comparison- I have been very impressed with the Blacktail curve.  15 month waiting list- probably a good reason.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

It's a custom bow built by our own Jess Stuart.

It feels and shoots a lot like a 3pc Black Widow.

Sweet is another way of saying it..lol

It's point-ability is right on too.

God bless,Mudd

How bout the kwyk styk and apex pretators wassaw.  Similar design and with the right wood/material combo you would have similar mass weight.

Browning Fire Drake, and it even has the limbs mounted the same.  

Ironically, I just stuck one in the classifieds with a photo of a Widow for comparison!

I imagine the Widow is the only one with so many laminations in the riser for strength....
