I have the decision down to 2 bows ...........
I would like to hear from people who either own both or who have shot both and comments pros and cons (if any) for them.
The 2 bows are a widow PL at 60 or 62" and a Toelke Whistler at 58" or 60".  How do they compare to each other?  I have not owned or ever shot either one of them ......... and no,  at this very moment I wont be buying both  :archer:

I have shot both and I would go with the Whistler.   It is lighter in the hand and quieter, both of which are priorities for me.  I would say that it is probably a little quicker too.  Now, having said that, some guys are going to say that the Widow is not loud but they are to my ears.   Also, if you like more mass weight in your bows, then you will like the Widow better.

The Whistler is less expensive, if that matters.

This is my experience.  For 28" draw the 58 " Whistler would be nice. For me,  a 64" PL is not as smooth as a 58 Whistler.
