The Widow,
Bought the Black widow and it was a fine bow, but did not fit me in the hand well and was a little too noisy for my tastes no matter what trickery I used to silence her, so at the blanket shoot I sold her for more than I bought her for and went shopping amongst the dozens of great bow makers attending with their wares.
after shooting several beautiful bows and it coming down to two, I took them both out for an extended shoot off.
THE WINNER
If you fellows are looking for one of the finest shooting bows in the world you should check out the Predator line by Ron Pittsley.
They sell a basic model in Cabelas, a lot less money, and they sell this bow called the classic.
It is as fast if not faster than my Widow, which is really saying something if you know bows. Unlike the Widow it has a great handle that feels fabulous in your hand and also unlike the widow it is dead silent when you shoot. Only sound you hear is the arrow thru the air.
Hits exactly where you point it.
I got a great deal on it, which I promised him i would not tell anyone, but it costs 795.00.
made with Canary wood which is gorgeous, bubinga, purple heartand hard rock maple. The pics do not do it justice. The canary wood will darken in the sun to a beautiful orangy yellow.
It is a shooter, and a keeper.
