Title: Thunderchild weight reduction
Post by: medic77 on December 01, 2016, 09:30:00 PM
Does anyone know if Big Jim does weight reductions?  I don't want to bother him with a phone call if anyone here knows for sure.

Legend has it that he shoots 600lbs@36 and I don't want him to think I'm a pansy.

medic77  : that's just a rumor I have shot his personal bows myself so it can't be true . Jim is a great guy who will always have time to answer customer questions. Just give him a call

I don't know if he does or doesn't reduce draw weight, but I had a really nice conversation with him on the phone the other day.

Big Jim is the meanest nice individual that you could ever hope to meet.

He was kind enough to do a weight reduction on a bow he refinished for me. But, I got the impression he would rather spend his time making bows.

He will be glad to help or give advise regarding your Thunderchild. A very nice and personal fella to deal with.

I have a heck of a time reducing weight as I can't pass up a doughnut or cookie..cake, candy...you name it.  

Oh, your talking about bows ...   :)   Yes, If it is a bow of my make, I will put it through the jenny craig program.
Generally I can take them down about 3-5 lbs and on ocasion a couple more without affecting integrity. When you get it back, it will look like new or nearly so as it will have a complete facelift (full refinish is necessary).

Feel free to contact me for more info...I don't bite unless you hold on too tightly to the cookies.     ;)

Thanks for the info everyone and Big Jim, sounds like a phone call will be made and a bow with some cookies will be shipped.
