Title: PCH Twins
Post by: Steel on March 06, 2010, 12:48:00 PM
My second PCH-X came Thursday a Curly Narra spec's are 54" 51@27" so its a twin to my Zircote/Tiger myrtle 54" 50@27" PCH I already have had a few weeks.They shoot about the same I can feel alittle less mass weight on the Narra bow I am sure it's the all wood wedges I like the way it feels. Looks like I am setup for turkey season now can't wait for opening day!

Nice looking bows.  I can't believe how light that Curly Narra is compared to the one I shot in Kzoo.  I would have guessed tulipwood or something from first glance.

The Narra wood has a true red tint to it I really like the color. The bow is a backup bow so I went with the same spec's I shoot year around almost everyday so I like having a extra just incase.

You did good,I like your twins.You are saying that they shoot almost the same but is there one more quiet than the other?I have a theory! Limbs without the phenolic are more quiet.

I have very,very,very good hearing and to be honest the phenolic model seemed maybe a touch quieter when shooting today but it's real close to the same so I wouldn't bet any money one way or the other.I really like the all wood wedges if I order another Black Widow I am going no phenolic again. I have new SBD 8 strand D-10 strings with recurve wraps and rubber cat wiskers on both bows and the setups are very quiet. I also had a new set of Morrison "A" carbon/foam core cotton mouth skinned Cheyenne limbs come in this week attached them up to my "B" Kindwood riser and that setup is crazy quiet.

Too deadly! I've been waiting to see pictures of the Narra bow. Good on you! I hope you have lots of fun and games with them. For me, one-and-a-half weeks down, who knows how many to go.

Beautiful Bows.. Love your wood choices.  I had never seen either wood before your post.  Thank you.

When your Morrison limbs get there, how about your thought's as to a comparison of the Widow's to your Morisson. Speed, loudness, feel at the shot and preferance ... in no particular order.

All are very high quality bows and I'm sure you are a happy man.   :wavey:

Cody,

Ya done good, stunning twins.  I pity the beast that steps in your way!!!!

Hey, I'm at Mark Hornes bow building school building me a little sweetie 3-piece longbow, will try to put up a post.  I shot 4 arrows with it from about 15 yards, all in the 10 ring.  Wish you could have come, this is something that you would really enjoy!  

Later,

Buck

Gene I have/had several Morrison bows and the Cheyennes seem to be my favorite model.I shot both my 54" PCH Widows and my 56" Cheyenne carbon/foam limbs this morning. FPS wise through my chrony the 56" Morrison is a few FPS faster the it's quietest recurve bow I have owned. Draw wise all three bows seem very smooth really not much difference. The PCH's seem more forgiving accuracy wise(maybe the extra mass weight) just a Widow thing as I have found my last three Widows to be just plain easy to hit the bullseye I almost feel like its not fair sometimes when shooting with friends.Overall its sort of bad having several great bows it makes it hard to pick just one to shoot with.

Hey Cody your Curly Narra came out great. I go back the end of the month to block my PCH riser

Cody
Thanks' for the comparison... I kind of figured those may be your conclusions.. as they are similar to what I have experienced between the to Brands.  In my case however, I'm a better shot with the Morrisons.

Also understand your comment about how hard it is to choose just one to use   :wavey:

I spent the past weekend at the TBOF shoot and Black Widow was there. I brought my ACS Longbow 64" 53# @ 28" with MFX 400's to shoot with all weekend and since I am going hog hunting next weekend, I got very close to my hog hunting setup for practice. I was not expecting to shoot there bows but what the heck, after I was done shooting both ranges, I had some time to kill!

PCH- when I first shot this bow, I chose one with a lighter draw weight as I did not want to get tired. The bow I chose was 44# @ 28" and it shot very well as expected. I was impressed but went back and shot the MA and SA bows around the same draw weight and length. I liked the mass weight of the MA bows but I really like the longer working limb ob the PCH bow for some reasons. What I thought was going to be a short lived testing turned out to be a solid 2 hours of testing all three bows.  I must say for my type of treestand and blind hunting, the PCH was perfect!!!! Great bow and I will be ordering one soon!!
