Still playing with this Imgur thing! Wish I could figure out how to download the pics w/o going back to the source. Can Anyone help me with this?

By the way BigJim built me a beauty for sure! 56" 51# @ 28" Macassar ebony and cocobolo riser with amboyna burl limb veneers. Topped it off with moose tips and overlays!

Great looking bow!

I had a Thunderchild back in the day but couldn't get used to the grip...

However yours is completely different and looks excellent! looks like it would fit like a glove!

I may just have to jump back on his list, as I would love to have a TC for a turkey bow!

Yeah Catlin, BigJim made some changes to the ThunderChild. Grip is extremely comfortable and consistent in the hand. Bow draws smoothly and is sooooo quiet!

Got an Alberta moose hunt coming up in 2017. Not sure if I should take the Child with me or go with my 56# recurve t/d. I'm playing around with arrow spine/weight and broadhead combos right now. Anyone out there shoot a moose with a 51# bow and a 625 gr.arrow? Is that a realistic setup??? They are flying pretty darn good at 25yds.
