Title: New children
Post by: pdk25 on January 29, 2016, 12:12:00 PM
Been a good year so far.  Got a new RER LX and Thunderchild, so I thought I would share some pics.  Expecting a Stickflinger soon, too.  Gotta sell some other bows soon, lol.

The top bow in the first pic is the LX, and the bottom one is the thunderchild, for an unstrung profile view.

Thanks.  Ron, it is from the new owners.  I still have some tuning to do, since I only got the bow yesterday morning.  I can say that it most definitely is a fast bow.

Jarrod, I will probably be taking the Silvertip.  Not enough time to feel confidant with the new bows, and the shooting may be a little further than average, so the mass weight of the silvertip riser may come in handy.

Sweet looking bows Pat. I hope you manage to work out some good discounts since it seems all your bows have similar manufacturing defects. You wouldn't think it would be difficult for bowyers to put the shelves on the correct side.

Great lefties.  I think I already said it previously Pat but if the Thunderchild should ever need a new home down the line I would be game to adopt it hehe.  Should have never sold that 51# BW Ebony one I had by way of you.

I have a bow identical specs to your Thunderchild.
Would you be able to post your exact arrow specs for me?
Total weight, insert, tip etc.
Cheers

I draw just a little under 29.5".  I use mfx classic 400 shafts cut to 30", with a 75 grain insert and 175 broadhead.  Can't remember what the weight comes out to exactly, but it is somewhere in the ballpark of 600 grains.

Nice bows just seem to be drawn to you. I wonder how they do that!

Good luck on your hunt!
