Hi,
I am new to the forum, just thought that I would let ya'll know that I just ordered a Firefly. The only bad thing is that it will take three months to get it. Alot of sleepless nights until it gets here.
Welcome to the forum.
That three month wait will be well worth it once your Firefly shows up. They are great bows. Extremely smooth and quiet, with workmanship up with the best of them.
And it will look pretty also!!
They are super bows...top notch quality at a rock bottom price. I love mine!!!
Be sure to post pics!!!
You are gonna love this bow. I have 3 of them and am thinking up another one. Jim is a great guy and the three month wait is a minor one when some other guys take a year. Welcome to this site and enjoy.
Larry, The wait will be well worth it.
Your gonna love this bow. I have two of them and they are shooters. Also beautiful to look at.
Jim does an excellent job, not to mention he's a great guy.
Be sure to post pics but until then what wood combo did you order?????
:campfire:
I really enjoy my Firefly, i was very impressed with how smooth it was. Good choice :thumbsup:
:readit: :saywhat: I hear those Fireflys shoot real well. :archer:
Welcome to the forum! 3 months is not all that bad, I just ordered a Centaur for a years wait ^^
I've heard nothing but good about Firefly Bows!
Be sure to post some pictures here when you get it!
Dont worry mate, you will love it when you get it. I love mine.
awesome bows made by an awesome fellow !!
They are fantastic shooters smooth, quick, and quiet and Jim takes a great deal of care in what he does.
On top of all that he is a great guy.
Any custom bow is well worth the weight. never shot a firefly but love the looks of them and they've had great reviews. Like mentioned before 3 months is not bad at all. However, it will feel like 3 years by the time its said and done.
Great choice on both the bow and bowyer! 3 months isn't bad, Jim must need some more orders...hahaha
Machinist,
I just got my Firefly last week and all I can say is it is everything I hoped for and more!!! As soon as I get some pictures taken I intend to start a thread and show off my bow and give you all my impressions. Stay tuned.

Three months ain't bad at all. Don't see how you could possibly go wrong with this one. I have paid twice as much for a good custom bow. The price is right and the testimonials are always great. I don't think this guy will be able to keep up with demand for long.
Hi guys, I am happy today. Jim sent an email and said I should have my bow by the end of next week, can't wait. I will post some pics of it when it gets here. The make up is Texas ebony riser and the limbs are curly maple over action boo. It should be 45# at 28"
Sounds like a great bow Machinist, and as commented, fantastic shooting bows.
Can't wait for the Pics...
Machinist,
You are going to be blown away if you havent shot one of Jims bows. They are smooth to draw, no handshock,wisper quiet, fast and easy to tune an arrow to. Everyone who has shot my bow just falls in love with it.
Good luck with it and post som pics when you get her home.
Terry
Sounds like a really nice wood combo.
Talk about customer relations, I miss spoke and described my bow that I have on order above with curly maple on the limbs. It is actualy water fall Bubinga. Jim read my post and offerd to change it for me when he seen that I had put curly maple in the post. he had already glued the Water fall Bubinga limbs up. I am glad I am working with him because he knew what I wanted I just did't put i down correct in my post. By the way, this is my first custom order and I think I am in good hands with Jim.
WOW, got my bow in today and when I unpacked it I was in love! this thing is beautiful. I put it together and strung it up and shot about 6 arrows through it with judo tips (shooting at a Coke bottle in the yard) just to get the feel of it and I can't believe how smooth the draw is. I will post pics tonight or tomorrow to show it off.
Waiting impatiently Grin.
Glad to hear you are happy with your new bow. I am anxious to see it, Jim does some really nice work!
Sorry guys, I did't know that you could not post pics to a thread without going through photo bucket. been trying for the last two hours and now frustrated. got some pics on my computer but can't get them here for you to see. I will try later when my son can help me.
Larry
Welcome aboard. 3 months will be worth the wait.
Welcome and congratulations with your choice of longbow :thumbsup:
I have two Firefly longbows and really like the way they shoot and the looks.
And the bowyer Jim is a top notch guy to deal with!
