Well, It's been a long time since I ordered my Bighorn recurve... And the Company has even changed hands since I ordered it.Most of us thought that the old owner had taken the money and ran.... We were right..
I would truely like to thank Rich "THE NEW OWNER!!" for building all these bows that he didn't have to... He's a real stand up guy and for all those that are going to order a bow soon, I would give Rich a call to see what he can do for you. He is really the heart and soul of what traditional Archery is about. And makes really nice bows to boot.
Again thank you Rich.

Nice bow, I'm glad to here they're back,they were always one of the top names in custom bows and I wish them nothing but the best. Bill
:clapper: Finally! Now I can start considering having a Bighorn in my future. Can't wait until he has a web-site. Here's wishing Rich well!
Nice :thumbsup:
Hats off to Rich
That right there is above and beyond!!Nice bow!
Kudos to Rich!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I have to agree with that-above and beyond.My first 2 custom bows were Bighorns and I've always liked them.It sounds like they are in good hands again.Nice to hear.
They do have a website:

Rich deserves a great deal of credit here. Nice bow, honest bowyer. I hope he is in business as long as he wants to be. :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Bowdoc-check your mail
Glad to hear,sweet looking bow it's just the shelf is on the wrong side.LOL
From what I understand Rich used to be one of Asbells bowyers when Fred owned the company
yep, i im guessing it is the same Rich that worked for the company back in the day. he has got a beauty with birch limbs and riser on the website.
aint owned the 3 pc yet. But the one pc is awsome. Smooth drawing and fasts as lightning.

I always wanted a Bighorn T/D Recurve but I've heard nothing but problems with the company. I hope it all gets sorted out, I really want one!!!
Nice stick you got there!!!!
Still waiting on mine, it's been over a year. Suposedly this month ?
That's amazing, does anyone know how many bows Rich had to eat? I see someone above was wishing Bighorn had a website. Not sure if they want one or not but in my opinion any business today needs one. I dabble in web design in my spare time and would like to offer a free site design to Rich for his stand up actions. If anyone knows him well would you please pass on my offer to him. I designed and do the upkeep on the Whisperstik site. www.whisperstikbows.com (http://www.whisperstikbows.com)
Thanks Tom

too many ! I think Ron hung him good. seems like a good guy though, I am sure all will work out OK, I hope his business does well after a rough start.
What Rich is doing is very honorable. I am waiting on one as well. It has been over a year since I ordered a bow from Ron Nelson. Rich deserves to be supported. That one piece looks like a really nice bow. I shot the ram in my avitar with a Bighorn two days after Bud Boker died and haven't shot the bow since. Jim
this is a current number for rich.--970-689-7561
he is a stand up guy, and a superb craftsman, he really took on a load,
I respect what Rich is doing, and think the same of Tom for his offer to help with a web site. I hope a little encouragement and a lot of business success find their way to Rich.
Sometimes it is not easy, convenient, or cheap to do what you believe is the right thing to do. My hat is off to Rich for showing such class, even though it was probably personal ethics and not legalities that led him that direction.
The great ND football coach Lou Holtz tried to teach his players three rules for living:
1. Do Right
2. Do Your Very Best
3. Do Unto Others As You WOuld Have Them Do
Unto You
Mebbe Rich played for him....
Way to go... way to go

Nice bow! Kudos to Rich!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich had to eat 19 bows that I know of.... He's trying to build the ones he is making out of the goodness of his heart with the few paid orders he has thus far. Just trying to keep it going til some more orders come in.
Wish I had the funds to order another from him... Just to help out... Hell of a Guy!!!
Sounds like a good bloke.
RICH FOLLOWED THROUGH ON MY BOW ALSO AFTER MORE THEN A YEAR!! GREAT GUY, GREAT BOW!!! ALMOST TO PRETTY TO HUNT WITH! ALMOST. LOL!!!
Great looking bow, and nice to know there are still guys like Rich out there.
:thumbsup:
We all appreciate that kinda attitude... :thumbsup: Wish ya luck, and plenty of business.
