Title: Question for Thunderstick shooters
Post by: slowbowjoe on December 28, 2015, 05:58:00 PM
And the question is, for any who may have checked it... have you found the bow to scale as marked? I'm assuming Jim has measured his bows, whatever model, on the same scale. My 45# Mag feels exceptionally smooth for it's weight, compared to a few other bows I've had.

No issue on my part about accuracy, more about figuring spine/tune for what I am actually drawing. Wish I had access to a scale, to answer for myself, but I just don't.

Any feedback out there?

my 50#er definitely feels like 50 at my draw.  It is very smooth.  I just got the bow in a trade and have yet to really mess with finding an arrow for it but the arrows I have shot I was pleased with.  Its fast!

My TS III was right on the money when I scaled it. Smooth and fast.

I've had a few and found no issues with correct marking of weight.  One of the best values out there, but believe no longer being made...so hang on to those T-Sticks!

Thanks, guys, for the help. I'm liking the fact that weights seem to be as marked. Sure is a wonderfully smooth 45#, and I'm holding on to this one.
Fortunate to have gotten it here on the classifieds shortly before it came out that Jim was retiring from making bows. Another easy and courteous deal, too.

All mine seemed to be on the mark.

Excellent feedback folks, as always. Just got in from shooting my T-Mag, and I'm still impressed how smooth it is. Gotta be right on for weight.

Huntryx, if you're watching this.. your feedback tears ago about yours really helped me go for this one. If, for some reason, I ever decide to let it go, I WILL let you know - I remember you missed yours.

Jim makes one of the smoothest bows ever made . My Moab is 55lbs but pulls like a fifty lb bow . Anyone who owns one tell you the same.

My Mag is dead on the mark with compensating for my shorter draw length
