Time for a new Widow should I order another PCH or KB in a short length 54/56" ? Anyone shoot both models any options?
I have a 54" pch 53@28. Awesome bow. I have a 58" kb also awesome. I love the little bow for turkey's.
I like the KB if takedown isn't a benefit... I have a 54"KB and absolutely love it. Both are great bows and PCH would be my choice if takedown was beneficial. Very similar but KB is smoother to me...
Kaz what's your draw length?
Kaz what's your draw length?
I shoot both, and its a little tough for me to decide which is the smoother bow. I like a heavier bow, which the PCH is the heavier of the two. The KB feels a little smoother, but that could be that its 2 lbs lighter in draw weight. I have the standard grip on both. As Kaz said, If traveling was going be an issue, the PCH is the one. But I think that they are pretty equal with all things considered. NOW if LOOKS are going to be a factor, the KB is the more "handsome" of the two. I ordered my KB after handling Kaz's KB. I have a tad over 28" draw so I got it in 58". Good Luck!!
Cody,
Sean is spot on. I also fell in love with KAZ's KBX; but ended up ordering the PCH for ease of hunting. KB is the sweeter looking of the two; they both shoot great.
One thing is for sure, there will be a trail of dead critters behind whichever one you choose. See ya in May for a swine time! :campfire:
I owned a KB, 58" that worked very well with a 27" draw length, hated to sell it but I wasn't hunting with it and hated to see it hanging around on the rack. I shot the 56" PDH's and preferred the 58" length over the shorter lengths.
sooner or later you will wanting to take that bow on a plane. PCH would be more convenient. JMO.

PS I've got PCH order in as we speak.
Cody, I draw 27.5" and my 54"KB is sweet... I had the privilege of shooting a 54"PCH for comparison and it was very nice as well, but the nod went to the KB... In terms of feel, I had it in my mind that the 54"KB was similar to the 56"PCH and I wanted the shortest I could get while still maintaining all the great characteristics of the Black Widows I know.... I love them both. I like heavier bows as well, but I think the KB has good mass, more than a PTF... I got mine with the stabilizer insert and have a 2" Doinker Chubby hunter stabilizer on it that makes it dreamy!You already have a PCH so get a KB, you'll love it! Smaller sight window than PCH,if that affects your decision...Happy to answer more specifics if it helps...?
Good thing that I read Kaz's post! I didn't realize that you already had a PCH. Get the KB!!! love owning both bows. I'll probably never part with either, definitely not the KB!
I love spending somebody else's money!!
Yes I have one 54" PCH right now thats seen alot of field use its been my main hunting bow for a couple years.I had a couple PCH's but sold/traded one off I wish I had it back I miss that bow alot :(
It was a hard choice, but I ordered two new KB-X's. I went with a 54" and a 56" model KBX, I also draw 27" and really like the 54" bow for hunting and the 56" just happened. Buckster I will be sporting two new Widows for the May swine hunt :)
As long as its a Widow you can't go wrong I have two CHX's and love them I have never shot a KB but sure would love to. I have two CHX's and a SAX I like the CHX better then all the other bows I have owned I am thinking about selling my SAX and my backup CHX and ordering another CHX like the one I ordered for myself two years ago and maybe some spare limbs also.

You will be pleased......! :thumbsup:
