Title: My new to me Big Jim bow. WOW is all I can say.
Post by: Nakohe on September 06, 2010, 01:04:00 PM
Just went out and shot my Silvertip and my new Big Jim Bow "Dalmation". WOW what a bow. I could not put the Big Jim bow down. Shot the tip a couple of times and the rest of the session it was only "Dalmation". Fastest and most stable longbow I have ever shot. She is my go to bow now. What do you think of her?

Awesome bow! Yes, that Dalmation makes for beautiful, unique limbs. I had pics of mine up last week. What accent wood is in the riser? I have Ziricote in mine, and it worked perfect. Is yours a one piece or two piece? I know she's an great shooter. Congrats, and welcome to the club!

Thanks guys, she is 62" AMO and 50# @ 28". The weight is perfect for me, and Danny you are not getting my tip. LOL

DannyBows, if I remember right the accent wood is Macassar Ebony in the riser. It goes great with the Dalmation.

Nakohe- I'm glad you are enjoying your new to you bow. The riser wood in that bow is Zircoti. A georgeous wood from Mexico. It goes real well with B&W Ebony, and even better with dalmation (dalmation is also B&W Ebony but much more rare).

Thanks, bigjim

I don't think anyone makes a handsomer bow than Jim. Maybe as good, but not better.

Congrats! Beautiful bow.
