I have been thinking and looking at bows for a while and just got the OK from my bride. I currently am shooting a Horne combo hunter (longbow riser) with recurve limbs. I like the bow, like Mark's bows, I like supporting him as he is local and like the idea of being able to visit the shop before and after the purchase.
With that said I am thinking buying another bow from Mark; the take down mountain bow. I have shot this bow and really like it. In the price I am planning on spending I would be able to get everything I want on this bow.
The other bow I am considering is a Widow. I have not shot one but heard nothing but great things about them. I like the way they look and the option to test them befor I order one. The main draw back is if I compare apples to apples between Hornes and Black Widow is the price. With the types of wood etc. the Widow is approx $300 more expensive.
This will be my first and probably last bow ordered to my specs so its a difficult decision. Any input is appreciated to help make me feel better about my decision.
