If you had to choose....which would you take?
....oh, and then there's the Arroyo and the Widow PTF, but that's another thread! So many bows, so little cash!!!!
what you gonna sell me next weeek?? lol goin to K-zoo??
I could make you a great deal on a Fox Royal Crown longbow in new condition. Make me an offer! It would be a nice birthday present for your oldest boy!
K-zoo is a definite maybe.....you??
I would choose the Widow over the GP's only because the Widow will retain its value way better. They are both nice shooters. Its funny I own both the Arroyo and PTF11 and I like them both but as far as performance and quietness the Arroyo wins hands down. Shawn
I am plannen on it, I think its time for TJ to build a bow.... and I wanna learn ta knap...... :)
Steve I know where a really sweet Swift is. Get in touch if you are interested.
i have no experience with the swift. i own a psa v that i love. i feel this is a very forgiving bow that is easy to shoot accurately. consider the asbell grip if you decide on the widow.
If you were asking for which bow for you I would say the answer lies in you shooting both. I have a 58" SR Swift. A special order I beleive. Phenolic, Osage and Cocobolo riser with bamboo limbs. Top notch quality and shootability. It is also my opinion, I repeat, my opinion, that the SR Swift is more eye appealing with a more modern, not dated look. I have approximately 25 bows and the SR is my go to bow.
But keep in mind, Black Widow has a huge following. You have to be good people and have a great product in order to maintain the success they have.
Black Widow PSA!!! :thumbsup: I have a 60" 52#@28" that I really love. It's the one bow I have that will never be for sale. Like Shawn said, they do retain there value.

I've got my eye on a used PSA that is the perfect length and draw weight. One thing that concerns me is noise. I've heard that the Widows are noisier than the average custom bow and I hate noisy bows.
I have owned a PSA and now I have a SR Swift Rio bravo and I think the Swift is lighter in mass weight. They are both great bows. I also have PL111 TD that also shoots great.

Never had the sr swift, but i love my psa v ironwood recurve. Todd
widow.
Owned one Widow...won't do that again. Hands down the noisiest recurve I've ever shot. Owned a 3 pc GP years ago. Very quick and fairly quiet shooter. Would do THAT again.

Hello sir. I'm no expert by any stretch, but I had a Widow and could shoot it, I mean shoot it. I thought I just got caught up in th hpye and could shoot any bow just as well... I sold the widow and went through several more bows. I got another widow and Bingo... Maybe its mental, maybe not? Alls I know is for me, Black Widow Bows are in my hand from here on.... I've shot the PTF and PSA/ both shoot equally as good. I like the option of take down, but the one piece is a classic look... Your call there..
the nice 9-point i shot with my widow ironwood recurve didnt hear it until the arrow was in the dirt on his opposite shoulder.
I will say that the Asbell grip was very nice...just fit. I loved the look and feel (in hand) of the Widow, but the .22 mag sound put me off.
