Hey Mark, welcome it's good to see you here.

The only bow on that list that I have personal experience with is Black Widow. I've shot several and just sold a 34 year old widow which paid for my new longbow. They are excellent shooters. The newer ones shoot hard and are superbly crafted and if properly tuned and silencers added, they are as quiet as most other takedowns. As for the rest of the bows you have listed, I don't think I've heard any bad about any of them and I frequent a few traditional archery message boards. I guess my recommendation would be to shoot as many of these bows as you can. I'm sure some of them have a try before you buy, widow does I think. Anyway, try them out if you can because what's great in the hands of one archer isn't in the hands of another and custom bows are getting fairly pricey to make a purchase without knowing if you like it or not. Good luck on your quest for a new bow. I hope you like it here and stick around to share some of your wisdom and wit with us.

Mike
