Outstanding in every way....worth the wait, you bet. Thanks Big Jim.
By the way Big Jim I did replace the string. :biglaugh:
God Bless, Pierre
Wow, nice looking bow. I gotta stop looking at Jim's bows or else I'll be in trouble! Enjoy your new bow.
Great looking bow, congrats!
And another thing... that sheep horn is wicked awesome!
I really like the bows that Big Jim is making.He has a great taste for the woods.
Awesome
:eek: WOW! AWESOME looking bow! So the myrtle is on the limbs right? Do you have a profile pic of the riser by chance? I'd love to get a closer look at it from the side! Either way...beautiful bow! Congrats!
Very nice mine is going to me just like it.

Yeah, that's a beaut! And very sneaky, Pierre; I had to check out this thread just to see if the title really was someone badmouthing BJ's bows! I knew better but the way you set it up....very sneaky!
That's another beautiful Big Jim masterpiece! Love the Tiger Myrtle. The best thing about your bow for me is that I'm now one closer to getting mine! Congrats on a fine bow, and Hats-Off again to the big guy for such awesome craftsmanship. :clapper:
DannyBows, we are both getting closer :)

Beautiful looking bow :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
That is a gorgeous bow. If it shoots half as good as it looks, it has got to be a real performer.

Wow Pierre,Big Jim has done it again.Tiger Myrtle only comes from about the California border north to about the Columbia river and tiger in it has to be hand selected.Truely a work of art and even prettier than my scalloped birdseye maple buffalo bow.Many bullseyes to you.
Beautiful bow. Big Jim is a fine craftsman.
Congrats.
Pierre: That is one of the prettiest Bows I have seen in a long time. I love Big Jim's Bows. Will have my own Thunder Child as soon as I round up the funds. Good shooting Don

Never heard of em, but now that I have, WOW! Great looking bow.......
Beautiful bow, really like the horn overlays. That myrtle is stunning!
Thanks for all the comments. Been getting alot of PM's and emails on this bow so I figured I will try to answer some of your questions.
This is my second Thunder Child from Big Jim. I sold the 1st to order the second in a 2 piece and have no regrets (I do have some regrets selling the first). I really judge a bow by the first time I pick it up and shoot it.(after changing the string of course :laughing: ) If it points where I look and feels good in hand that is a great start and after tuning it groups consistently, we got a winner. The Thunder Child does all of that.
Shootabilty (new word) is excellent. Shoots right where you point it. Smooth drawing to my 28" and zero stack feeling. Speed and cast is excellent. NO hand shock to speak of once you get it braced correctly and I mean whisper quiet with a SBD Ultra 6 strand on it.
Every bow has it's own personality, so to compare one to another is some times unfair but I can say that I do like everything about this bow and have no regrets as compared to all the other bows we have. I will try to post more pics as per your requests. Kudos to BJ.
Thanks and God Bless, Pierre
Wow! That is a beauty!!
OK, here ya all go...

DUH! :knothead:
I got it now! Thanks Pierre! :thumbsup:
Pierre,
Wow. Another great looking bow! And great photos.
All the best, God bless,
Joe
The lambs on the bow sure are beautiful!
I sure hope the moderators start censoring the Big Jim TC pics. I believe they all appeal to me.
I should be happy pursueing one, however the variety of masterly crafted beauties have me yearning for a 2nd.
Man, that is a beautiful bow! I'm really starting to get a bad case of longbow fever. To these eyes, no other bow can match the beauty of finely crafted longbow like that.
Great job with the pictures Pierre and once again one Myrtle lovin nut to another SaaaaWeeeeeeT lookin shooter there!!! Congrats :)
