Title: My new Bigriver recurve
Post by: Bigriver on September 05, 2010, 06:43:00 PM
Here are a few pics of my new Bigriver 2 piece t/d. It has a bacote riser with an ibeam of some unknown wood, bamboo core & brown glass. The tips are buffalo horn. I got the horn & bacote from my bud hornhunter. If anyone likes the tips, I can send them some small pieces for there bowtips. 53#@30", 60" with a sleeve system for the takedown. I will run her through the paces & take it along for an elk killing excursion in a week or so.

That is SWEET!!

John can sure build them can't he. I bet that one is a shooter, very nice lines to those limbs.

Rafael, been there, have the bruises to show!

Joe, yep he did, add that to your next bow wish list!!

It is a shooter, John`s recurve are really efficient little bows.

Brian the wood is bocate with either bubinga or tigerwood I beam. That is a well designed , well built bow. Very nice. It all works. Steve

HH, i`m still trying to get over the pucker factor on her. Every time I string it, my first pull is with my eyes closed  :D

Sixby, that i beam isnt either of those. I helped John make this thing & he doesnt even know what it is. It looks like american cherry, but it is much harder & heavier than that. Any other ideas?

53 at 30" those are perfect specs. Does it stack bad at only 60" ?

Johns bows have no stack, his recurves feel like they have let off. This is my 5th one, cant decide if I like the curves or the longbows better.

Awesome Brian, Yet another J.M. master Piece.

I am thankful I had the opportunity to have one of his bows and meet such a nice man.

Your biggest problem now Brian is choosing which bow to use. I dont have that problem "yet".

Cheers on the new bow, Its beautiful.
