Title: Black Widow PCH????????
Post by: Red Tailed Hawk on July 10, 2010, 12:43:00 AM
Can someone please talk me out of buying this bow!!!   :pray:

No seriously, I was reading some of the post about the shorter sight window and how some find the need to cant the bow to get a clear sight picture. I shoot with the bow vertical. Is this a common problem among PCH owners or just for some. I plan on taking BW up on their try before you buy program, but if this is a common issue i might try the PSA.

I cant the bow, at about 2 o'clock - 7 o'clock so I dont have a problem.  I shot a pch, and loved it, shot psa, and pma. I ended up with a pmax, but would have taken any of them  My friend shoots verticle, like you, and did not like the pch as well.  He likes the psa.  I did not find the pch blocked my picture. even verticle.

Anchor point makes a difference.  I shoot a high one so no problem with vertical bow.

-You already have a perfectly good bow!
-By the time you ordered it and it arrived, you wouldn't have it
  tuned or be ready for hunting season and probably ruin your
  season...
-You could use that extra money to take a hunting trip out of
  state.
-I've been told widders are loud   (don't know just heard it
  somewhere)

There I tried... But in all honesty, it sure does look sweet! I am not one to judge.... I have been fighting the new bow syndrome myself for a few years... But am afraid i am going to lose out in the near future.... I have a 42# and 57# bow and a take down that would fit in the middle sure would be useful...

I have a PCH and do not cant it and have no problems seeing the target. I like it better than any BW I own.

I've been looking at the PCH also and had the same concern about the sight window because I shoot a vertical bow like you. I recently shot a TF one piece, which has a 3 1/2 inch sight window and it was ok. No problems. the PCH has a 3 inch sight window so I think it would be comparable.

I had a beautiful PCHX and did have a problem with the sight window.  I tend to shoot vertical or with a slight cant and the riser got in the way for me with a vertical bow as ranges neared 20 yards.  The bow was fantastic in all other aspects.  I ended up going back to a PSA.  I demoed the PMA and it shot great, but I didn't see a big benefit from the bigger riser (it was heavier, and I didn't like the look as much).  I'd say you should try one out, your results may vary.  Good luck...Mike

I shoot the PMA, PSA, and PCH. Sometimes I shoot vertical, and don't see a problem with the sight window on the PCH.
I have to agree with xtrema312 on the anchor point.  I shoot 3 under with the middle finger in the corner of my mouth and this may be why I can see just fine.
Sorry, can't talk you out of it.  Hope your trial goes well.
