Anybody shoot the thunderstick bows? Looking at maybe getting the mag. Looking for a little input before I purchase one. Really like the lost creek bows as well.
-
Never shot a thunderstick, but do have a lost creek on order. Will post pics when it arrives which should be soon. Both bows are favorably reviewed.

My brother and I both shoot Thunder Stick Mags. Mine is a 60" bow and 42@28. His is 56" and 45@28. I shot about a dozen longbows in the weight range I wanted and decided on the thunder stick. None of the others shot near as good for me. My brother went to the bow shop a week later and shot the same bows and he too decided on a thunder stick. I like the 60 inch bow since my draw length is 29 inches and it pulls a little smoother than the 56 inch bow, but they are both very nice. I shot a few other thunder sticks that were there and they were great too, just a little more pricey with all the options on them.
Here's some pictures and a short video of our bows.

Sent you a PM,

i've mentioned this before on the site on a few occasions, but i don't mind saying it again. all the bows i've ever had have been previously owned. i had a moab once that i had to sell a few years ago. jim is currently making a moab for me just like it. (see pic on his site) it's the only bow i have ever had made for me. i think that should say somethiing-----.
-
Jim makes and outstanding bow. I have owned a MOAB and shot a lot of his other bows. If you ever run across one of his older recurves, they were excellent shooters as well. Jim is also an excellent man to deal with.
-
I had a T Mag for a number of years and finally sold it to finance another bow--I've been sorry ever since and will order another at some point. It was the smoothest, most silent and fastest bow I've ever shot, and I've shot a lot of them! Jim makes one heck of a bow!
-
I've got a 56" 52#@28" T-Mag, a dream to shoot and carry as well!
-
Thunderstick bows are the best shooting bows on the market.Hand made quiet and dead in the hand.The MOAB is my favorite.Im going to be getting another one soon.Its my go to bow. (http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj10/longbowben/265.jpg)

very nice!
-
My cousin gave me his MAG. Now, I've always been a recurve shooter, and this bow shoots almost as smooth as my Black Widow. it shoots pretty fast as well. 60" 56# @ 28" in Osage. Its also whisper quiet. I don't think you can go wrong with one.
-
Awesome bows!!! Thunderstick bow are as good as they get IMHO
-
Jim makes a very fine bow. Great guy to do business with.
-
My dad bought me a thunderstick and it was my very frist real adult bow. In my modest collection it's the one that always stands out in my mind. Shooting that bow for the first time was an impressive sight. My dad and i watched as each of my arrows flew wherever i pointed it.
In short, great bows, don't pass one up if you have the opportunity to buy it.
-
My son hunts with a T-stick Mag. That thing spits out an arrow with authority for sure.
His was built for him when he turned 12, its 49#@26".
I have 2 MOAB's, and a III. Have another MOAB takedown on order, which should be done in a month or so. Thats gonna be my new elk huntin bow.
Im a 100% Thunderstick addict. I love every one of them.
-
The Thunder Stick bows are the BEST. They just
shoot. :archer2:
-
I have owned just about every model Jim makes.
Great bows and an even better man that makes them.
God bless,Mudd
PS: MOAB and TS III were his tops for me.
-
I want one too!
-
Anybody have a Thunderstick III they want to comment on? Trying to compare it to the MOAB.

You're welcome to try my TSIII if we ever run into each other again. Haven't shot a MOAB yet, but hopefully that will change soon.
-
Never shot a mag but I love my Moab like no other bow I've shot or owned ...
-
i have a moab and thunderstick3. the moab is faster but thethunderstick 3 is smoother drawing and a little more forgiving bow
-
The Mag I used to own was 60" 56#@28" and was extremely flat shooting. Would buy another someday a hair shorter (I only draw 27.5) and lighter if the right opportunity arose.
-
A MOAB is on my wish list. I've shot a couple and they were very impressive. They do shoot where they're pointed, are fast and quiet. If I had the money I'd order one today. :archer2:
-
I have shot the mag and the Moab both are great,
I have a Moab Takedown on order that should be ready in the next month or so,

My TS Mag is my go to bow. I've owned a few other bows and shot a lot more. My TS Mag is hands down my favorite.
-
Had a Thunderstick Three several years back. Great bow...smooth,fast,forgiving.Have never owned a MOAB but have shot a couple and they are excellent. Jim's a great guy also.
-
Have 2 MOABS and would like to try Jims other bows as these 2 Are sweet!!!!!
-
Currently there are 4 of them hangin on my bow rack. 2 MOAB's, a T-stick III and a T-Mag. All of them are great shooting bows.
There will soon be an addition to the family, I have another MOAB on order, this one will be a take-down version.
I've shot other longbows, and they were all nice bows, but they werent Thundersticks.
As many have mentioned, Jim is a great guy all around, and he makes the best shooting longbow out there IMO.

How would you describe the differences between the three? I have a TSIII and will hopefully be getting a MAG or MOAB very soon.
