Title: Help with Big Jim Bow
Post by: ssoden on January 18, 2011, 03:53:00 PM

Just a few questions for others with Jim's Buffalo bows. I have a 64" .. what brace are you folks using? Also has anyone tried a "skinny" string with his bow .. like a 8 strand Altracam?

Thanks for your help .. Steve

Yes .. Jim is very hellpful and he did answer the brace height question. However I was just woundering if anyone has tried a skinny string and how they liked it. I've seen big shooting improvements with other bows ( speed and less noise) .. Jim's bow shoots great as is but you know always trying to improve if I can  :)

Thanks for your reply,
Steve

sbd makes a very nice string and it shoots well. You should give them a call and they can hook you up.
I personally shoot my ts plus or an SBD.
