I'm not much of a recurve shooter, but I have shot with a lot of guys using Widows.  They are handsome bows that PERFORM. You will no doubt enjoy it immensely. Congratulations! Now you need to get a new camera to do justice to all the deer you will take with it this fall, because after all its in the rule book - you must post pics.

I hope! I am not the great white hunter that I wish I was. In fact I have been hunting on and off with a bow since I was 16 and have never harvested a archery animal. To say I am bad in the woods is a understatement. I consider it a successful season if I even see a deer. I'm hoping that this year will be different.

I like the bow and am in the process of tweaking it down to try and get rid of my fishtailing. So far it doesn't seem to be near as fast as my Samick Sage though the Sage is 1# heavier. But the draw is so much smoother than the Sage that it is very noticeable.

Smeans, I suspect it will shoot much quicker once you get the fishtailing under control.  That zaps a lot of K.E., as-well-as speed from the arrow.

Nice one! I have a Widow longbow. Only problem with the Widow is you will find yourself wanting to buy another Widow.

Nice Widow. I see a 58" KBX in my future for sure. Widows are bullet proof. When I was at Bear Quest last year I asked Bowdoc, who's had his hands on some of the finest bows ever made, if he could have one bow what would it be. He told my if he was going on a hunt of a lifetime and he could only take one bow it would be a Widow. That say's alot!!!!!

Very nice bow!  

Lots of great bows out there but I'd be hard pressed to say one is better than the Widow, at least among the bows I've shot.

Had one just like it but it was a '94 model. Killed a bunch of critters with it. Great performers, congrats.
