Title: PSA vs Dalaa
Post by: Gooserbat on August 22, 2011, 10:06:00 PM
Ok all I an wanting to know is how do the carbon/foam dalaa limbs feel in comparison to the limbs of a widow.  I all ready know about the  tunability it's just  widow is like a 30-06 the  standard by which to judge every thing else.

I have not shot the Dalaa, but I would go with the widow. I know that metal risers have been around a long time but they don't feel "Right" to me.

I love my Widows; but I shoot the DAS bows a little more accurately & they are almost always my choice for hunting.  I like the fact that you can adjust tiller & weight (within 10%) & configure with high, medium or low handles.  The metal risers feel dead-in-the-hand & are essentially shock free.

Finally, the DAS bows are tough as nails & I don't sweat knocking them around in the field like I would the Widows.

However, few bows have the "sex appeal" & cool looks of the Widow, that's why they are so sought after & hold their value so well.  For some, it will feel more "traditional" as well.

Either way you go, you'll have one if the finest shooting bows available.

I also love the Widows, can't go wrong with them.
That being said, and as much as I hate to admit it I shoot my ILF (Morrison riser) better than my Widows, Schafer or ACS. I like my other bows better if that makes any sense at all, I just can't shoot them as accurately and consistant as my ILF. I,like Buckmaster don't worry if I ding it while in the woods like I so my others.

Ok that's all and good but no one has answered my question.  I know all the benifits of the "ILF" but what I want to know is specificaly how do the Dalaa carbon-foam limbs feel in comparison to those on a Widow.

I'll add my 2 cents. I just sold a new Widow PSAX and bought a Dalaa with their carbon/foam limbs. I shoot a clicker and really have a specific feel that I look for in a limb. Some limbs feel "tighter" and I struggle to pull them through the clicker.

The Dalaa limbs were some of the easiest to pull limbs that I have shot. I could have drawn 1 or 2 more #s of draw weight and been just as comfortable getting through my clicker as I was with the Widow. The Dalaa was a few fps faster than the Widow as well.

The one thing I didn't care for was the amount of limb vibration after the shot on the Dalaa limbs.

I have since moved onto a set of upper end Win & Win limbs on a DAS Gen I riser and there is absolutely no hand vibration.

I have shot a few Widows and own Several pairs of high end Carbon foam limbs including Border HEX5, Hoyt etc. With out question the Carbon foam limbs are smoother then any bow I have shot, as quite if not quieter, less vibration and faster.

I own both with the same specs.  62in.55@28
the carbon foam limbs are more fogiving or more consistant in very cold temps.(single digit temps or colder)
