Other bows similar to Black Widows

djanko · February 10, 2011, 09:03:00 PM

Interested in hearing what other bows are similar to BW's, that have the mass in the riser...what do you consider very similar??

Habu for sure look similar, also had a Bob Lee that had some mass to it similar to the BW.

There is (was) a Korean import knockoff that copies the Widow, but I have CRS and do not remember the name. I will edit the post when I think of it.

It was not a Widow or Habu...but he did not have to take out a loan to buy it either. :D

Check Mate Firebird. Had one once, wish I would have kept it. Now they are no longer made.

Would this be considered close?

3pc 66" 46@28

If you are talking mass in riser and shooting comparison- I have been very impressed with the Blacktail curve. 15 month waiting list- probably a good reason.

Hey Mudd,
What kind of long bow is that?
thank ya,
J

Mudd · February 10, 2011, 11:32:00 PM

It's a custom bow built by our own Jess Stuart.

It feels and shoots a lot like a 3pc Black Widow.

Sweet is another way of saying it..lol

It's point-ability is right on too.

God bless,Mudd

Thanks Mudd!

Damon Howatt Diablo has the riser mass for sure.

How bout the kwyk styk and apex pretators wassaw. Similar design and with the right wood/material combo you would have similar mass weight.

Mudd love the flag in the tree, I admire your country's patriotism we need more of that here.

Browning Fire Drake, and it even has the limbs mounted the same.

Ironically, I just stuck one in the classifieds with a photo of a Widow for comparison!

I imagine the Widow is the only one with so many laminations in the riser for strength....
