Title: The Mail Lady brought me some Thunder!!! with pic's
Post by: RLA on January 27, 2011, 12:57:00 PM
I just recently received my new Thunderstick Mag from Jim Reynolds. It's 56" 50#@28" The riser is Bubinga and Bocote, with Bamboo limb cores and Eucalyptus limb veneers. It would be an understatement to say I'm liking this little bow! She's a sweet shooter, I added some pic's, have a look.

Beautiful bow.

I ask Jim to leave the grip a little larger than he normally does. I like a grip to fill my hand, imo it helps me not to torque the bow.

We have plenty of shooting space, that's for sure! My back yard is our hay field.

Where's all your snow, it's blowing a blizzard here today? You Southern boys probably don't even own a snow shovel! But you got your priorities straight with that bow. Beautiful, I love a dark bow.

Beautiful bow. I like the handle having a little more wood in it. Should be one heck of a bow.

I've been shooting this bow long enough now, about four weeks, that I have a real good feel for how it shoots. I think I finally understand what (it shoots where you look means)! This is one of several bows I've owned over several years, but this is the first one that I can just pick it up, look at a spot and that's where the arrow goes, no adjustments needed. I know proper arrow tuning makes the biggest differance with any bow, but I try hard at that on all my bows. So for being user friendly and shootabality this bow is the best I've had!!!
So if you've been thinking about trying one of Jim Reynolds bows, go for it.         (http://tradgang.com/noncgi/graemlins/thumbsup.gif)

First Thunderstick that has really caught my eye.

I attribute that to there being so many great bows today, that many fall into obscurity and need something dramatic to pull them out.

She is a beauty and congrats!
