Big Jim buffalo and black widow pl seem to be very similar in design. My question is to those that have shot both, are they similar in performance also? Thanks
I have 2 buffs and really injoy them alot but I have yet to find a widow I like also think IMO that the buff throws a arrow better than the Pl but thats just me
I have two Buffs as well and really like them both. Would like a 64" next. Have shot the BW recurve's but not the PL's have a buddy that shot a PL and he loved it so I think they are both great choices.
A buddy of mine loved his widow until he got his buffalo. Now its in second place.
I have shot both the BJ Buff and the BW Pl, I prefer the Buff. I am on Big Jim's list for a Thunderchild. :bigsmyl:
I have both. Other than grip I can't really tell them apart. Both very good bows. Big jim can make one that is much more beautiful than a widow IMO
Your going to find compelling cases for both bows. The only way you'll know for your self is to shoot them both. I know it's easier said than done,but thats it. If you test drive a Widow,then send it back,your only out on shipping cost's. Then if you find a Buffalo that someone will let you shoot,or you buy one second hand for a fair price,you'll have your answer. It's one of those,"If you want to play,you've got to pay" deals. But,even if you bought a Buff' used,and did'nt like it,you can re-coupe your funds easy enough. Good luck,rat'
BW hands down. The BJ handle and tips seems 'clunky' to me. Performance about equal though.
I've shot both, and prefer the Widows. I like the Thunderchild, but prefer the Widow PL to the Buffalo.
