Ok guys and gals,
This is the Big Jim Thunder Child bow that was announced a month or so ago. There are some pictures of this bow already floating around, but I had the chance to take some additional photos of my bow. This is a 52" thunder child that I talked Jim into building for me. He advertises that he makes them 54" and over, but for my whopping 25" draw, he took on the challenge of making a slightly shorter bow for me. The limbs are black/white ebony and the riser is gaboon ebony, black/white ebony, with white phenolic accent striping. I already own one of his 58" buffalo bows, and this bow is just as impressive! It does have the forward handle design, as opposed to his buffalo bow, but it is just as smooth and quiet! Do not ask me how fast this bow is...I do not know or care! I will say it is fast enough! I know that many have been asking about this bow, and I am sorry that I have taken so long in posting these pictures. There are many fine people out there with fantastic products, and I hope that one day I will have the chance to meet them and there products. I just wanted all to know that Jim and his Thunder Child have yet to disappoint!

One beautiful little bow.Super combination of woods.I like it a lot.
Who makes that quiver?It seems to be OK for that short bow.The bow certainly is a looker !!!!!!
It is the kanati by Anneewakee Archery. They are in the sponsor list up top. Nothing but good things to say about that quiver as well! :thumbsup:
Reminds me of my kanati that I put beaver tail grip on.
It's a sweet bow I'm sure.
Beautiful bow,sweet!
Holy Smokes that's sweet! Black and White ebony fan myself...look me up if you ever decide to part with it.
That is a beauty! :thumbsup:
Looks great - blends right in too.

Nice to hear from the end user and ThunderChild owner. That bow is super nice to look at. Can't wait for my 56" TD ....
That black/white ebony is a perfect camo !!

That is just plain sweet!! Great wood choices / combo!
Awesome bow!!!! :thumbsup:
Thanks guys for all your wonderful comments!
great looking bow
Super sharp setup congrats.
Now that's what I'm talking about :) Man do I ever want a bow with white ebony...I really like the black streak in the limbs it just looks incredible...Man if I was in the woods with that bow I bet deer would walk right by me cause I would probally never take my eyes off the bow...Just down right bootyfull! I just had to go back and look at her again and noticed how Big Jim added the black & white limb tips and overlays...Pretty much explains to you what type of wood is in the bow...An Artist touch for sure. :thumbsup:
And arrows and a Quiver that match's!
Ryan- give me a call tomorrow if you get a chance. Iv'e got something for you.
thanks,bigjim
I posted a few pics of bows built with the dalmation ebony on another site. If someone would be kind enough to help me move them to here, I would apreciate it.
These computers are agrivating to deal with. I am now typing on my wifes laptop and hitting two keys at a time ^%$*& thing. When one computer works, the other goes down.
Recently I took a brokedown monitor out and shot it with my bow to relieve some frustration and the darn thing spit my 800g arrow back at me. Computers have all but defeated me.
thanks, bigjim
Here ya go Jim:

The mail lady just delivered the 1 pc in the picture above & all I can say is the pictures don't do it any justice.... :readit: BigJim outdone himself on this one...The Ky gobblers might be in some trouble...
Mark, that is a beauty!! Mine should look very similar to that. Man I'm getting excited!!!
Thought you might like it Mark.
thanks,

Pretty bows. I posed a question on another site sometime back about a bow for a short draw and Big Jim was kind enough to post on a newbie's question - a nice guy from all accounts who gets my vote as well :) . With what I've heard about these bows, there just may be one in my future ...

Another fine looking bow from BigJim, but he has a habit of doing just that.
