Widow or Palmer

[Gooserbat]

I know what I'm getting if I buy a Widow.  Great bow, great custmer service, prety much all you could ask for.  With the Palmer all I realy know is I'm getting a great bow but I don't know about service, and dose Mike pretty much keep up with his estimated lead time?

Get the Widow,you already answered your question.

Widow without a doubt

[Ward / Texas]

If you're ordering a new bow, the Black Widow customer service is unparalleled.  If your buying used, both are great bows.  Widows hold there resale value better, and so sometimes you can find a Palmer for a good deal.  
Hope this helps.

Widow for sure

Widow, thats an easy choice and I have had both.

[Widow's Son]

I have an older (12 years) MAII that I have a love/hate relationship with. The bow is smooth and I am able to hit with it however I had to really work to get it quiet. Before I gave up and just used a Dacron string the noise for me was unbearable. It's pretty quiet now and has been my go-to bow for many years. I understand the new Widows are quieter.

In other words get a Black Widow and don't look back.

Own two Widows.  Great bows, great customer service, and a short wait for your new bow.

[Margly]

Widow!
Owned both and would pick the Widow ten out of ten times(reason I sold the Palmer)


If good/exellent service is a demand the answer is easy:WIDOW    

[Gooserbat]

Widow it shall be.

They are both great bows. However the Palmer will most likely be several months or more overdue past the date when you expect it.
Widows customer service is incredible, Mike's not so much.

[Cold Weather]

I would get a Widow and I have a Palmer.  Widow's customer service is beyond reproach.

[Night Wing]

Widow. As an added bonus, the wait for a Widow is much, much less than for a Palmer.

I would put Widow as one of the finest out there. All though I have dealt with Mike Palmer in the past and had no issues. Make sure to shoot them both of possible, it's a lot of money to throw down on a new bow. Make sure the equipment fits you not the popularity. This is coming from a die hard Widow customer.

Given those two choices Palmer is a great bow; but all in all the Widow is perhaps a better choice for you.
Widow offers a trial program; no excuses for you not to shoot one a lot if you have not already.

Widow for sure

I love my Palmer bows. I've tried a lot of bows including widows and for me the Palmer just shoots better.

[PBNJ]

Love my Palmer it just flat out shoots. I think its apples to oranges with the two bows. A different feel from the Widow to the Palmer. Thats what makes the world go 'round, different strokes...
