of the three you've listed I've shot both Widows and Silvertips, both fine bows, myself, I'd lean toward a widow, the things are pretty much bomb proof, excellent service, and one of the easyest bows to shoot accurratly all the time, not just on those days when you're hot. just my .02

Wes Wallace,

Let me add to the fray, I have a thermal very good bow, but I also have a Palmer its much better shots very hard. The reason I mention this there is a heck of a deal on a Palmer here on the trad for sale site. That is if it fits your length etc. I'm ordering a black swan hope its all I expect we will see. All the best!

Don't forget about Robertson Stykbows.  He's got 10% off any bow in stock until 12-31 right now!  Awesome bows.  If I didn't have one on order right now I buy one in stock.

I'm back!

Swamp with work, but next year    we should be OK to organize a week end.

Vermonster, Sergio from Ontario, let us organize a week end shooting.

Happy Holidays all

2 words. Dan Toelke. I have one of his Whips and a 3 pc t/d with 2 sets of limbs. Both shoot like a dream. He has a web site that lists his bows,woods,prices etc

Oh forgot his turn around time a great too.

I cant say anything about Schafer or Mariah. but i own a Black Widow PSA V and the smothness will blow you a way. I had to check the weight when i got it because i could not beleave it was right. It was and i love shooting it. They have a test drive program and there service is the best.

Great Northern  had a nice review on their Ghost  jackknife recurve in Traditional Bowhunter, Aug/Sept. 2006.

I would check out Ancient Spirits Thunderhawk
