The new PMA series take-downs are CNC “precision crafted” with greater accuracy, detail and consistency than we have ever been able to achieve in the past. The black “phenolic” riser sections of the handle and limbs make a distinctive two-tone contrast; plus they are more impervious to moisture in the critical areas around the mounting pins and limb bolts. The extended shelf provides more protection for the hand and the outside edge of the shelf is relieved to make it easier to achieve good arrow flight off-the-shelf. If smoothness and comfort are more important to you than maneuverability, then the PMA series may be your Black Widow of choice. The longer handle, with it’s long sight window, also permits the use of sights if that is your game.

In the tropical jungles of South America grows a tree that has earned the common name of ‘Ironwood”. It is known for its amazing strength, density and hardness (two to three times harder than oak). We have chosen to use this rich, walnut colored exotic wood in the handle of the PMA V ‘Ironwood” bow. It is, indeed, as tough as iron! To compliment and match the toughness of the ‘Ironwood” handle in this bow we are using vertically stacked bamboo laminations in the limbs to further enhance durability and performance.
