Personally, I had the rare op to shoot 4 widows and two blacktail and the new Brackenberry questand my Chec-matefalcon. at the same little shoot here in Oregon. What I found is I really like the Quest and blacktail. As far as the black widow I thought my Falcon shot better and was smoother. and I paid 225 for it new. I think if I get another recurve it'll be the black tail just because they look so dam nice.
