Title: Thunder Mountain Coach Whip....any thoughts?
Post by: ron w on November 23, 2010, 09:42:00 AM
Just picked one up used, looks like an interesting bow. Anyone out there ever shot one or owned one.This one is a 2 pc with a sleeve, 64" 49# @ 29". I think it maybe a handy bow to have for packing in or canoe/kayak trip....Any thoughts.... thanks   ron w

I used to have one, it was too heavy for me, or I would still have it. Great shooter, and Jerry (the bowyer) is a great guy. Great bow!

I have shot one before, very smooth.  The bowyer lives only a few miles from me.  He doesn't build bows anymore, but sure knows how.  Jerry Barr is is name, one heck of a guy to!

For a bow that I never heard of there seems to be a real positive response....that's good.....I always wanted to try a sleeved 2 pc here's my chance!!

I thought Rich Haffner owned Thunder Mountain now,  he bought it from Jerry Barr.  I had a Coyote prototype by Jerry Barr and Rich reduced the weight for me.

My whole family shoots Thunder Mountain Bows. Jerry is a family friend and makes one heck of a bow. The coachwhip is a smooth shooter and pretty quick. I personally have one of the Coyotes and a Lobo. Great bows and Great find
