I am new to traditional. But am getting ready to get a couple or 3 bows. Don't stone me but currently I shoot a compound. I am doing a lot of reading and research on traditional and am wanting to head down to Black Widow in Nixa to shoot some bows as I'm just north of there. I want to shoot anything and everything to mark off what I like and what to mark off the list. I'd like to get a recurve from BW. I'm eyeing their PCH or PSA in osage wood. Also looking at the PL long bow. I'd also like to order a Thunderbird bow(s) from Jay St. Charles for my wife and I to shoot together. She doesn't shoot archery but wants to learn. I Just know when I shoot these things I will probably make the switch and never look back. The traditional community alone makes me want to go down the rabbit hole. Good people.

Jeff...you are starting out on the right path especially if you place significant value in what recommendations Black Widow provides you.

I've been wanting one of these for a while and happen to run across this one. Vintage Pacific Yew takedown longbow. I plan to do a little hunting with it.

Love the color of those limbs! 

Glad for you,go have the time of your life when it shows up

Moosejaw Razorback 66" 60#@28" is here.  The draw cycle on this bow is incredible.  Bow made in 09/2020 and is not the Semi-curve of previous years.  Gary had intended to hunt this bow but decided to sell it.  This will be a great hunting bow and is very comfortable to shoot.

This one caught me off guard, Centaur stock bow, just before going into the paint booth.

In addition to the bows I listed in my previous post, I just traded for a Centaur glass longbow. That makes 4 for 2024, so far.

My new Black Widow, after hemming and hawing for months. Then I saw this camo on their website. Just had to have it.

More pics Please!!!

[attachment=2,msg3056862]Here's a couple of pics from my previous post ...It's a Morrison ILF 17" riser with Max II Border limbs in long. A great find for me .....[attachment=1,msg3056862]

Jeff,
For what it's worth, I've had three or four Black Widow recurves in the house and this last one with the Cooling grip shoots the best for me.

 my new to me satori is the 2024 bow and maybe longer that my friend Butch Grainger sold me on one of his visits home between cancer treatments he had fallen in love with his Bear B handle . he was sure he'd be back to shooting however God called him home. so thanks to Butch I'm on my second round of the ILF rabbit hole and its fun wish i had the morrison riser i sold on trad gang years ago double the fun

Me thinks Friend has a bow coming he hasn't told us about.... 

Incoming....JT Traditional Zeus 66" 42#@28". Wanted a lighter weight bow for backyard shooting and 3D. This is on its way should arrive tomorrow and these pics are from John Tussing who is the Boyer [attachment=1][attachment=2][attachment=3][attachment=4][attachment=5]

Kdog, John use to be a Sponsor and made the Hope and Faith bows on year.  I took one on the 1st or 2nd LTR hunt and killed a couple of rabbits with it.  I also took it to Scott "Friend" Sanders on a hunt and he saw me shoot a 3 inch group at 20 yards with the Apollo.  No negatives on this bow that I could see.  Tell him I said Hi if you chat with him.

I think it's going to be a keeper!!! 58" came in at 47lbs at 28". I haven't found anything it doesn't like, from micro shafts to heavy doug firs. This group is 2016s with 145 tips, 520-525 grains total.
