Title: My new Thunderchild....
Post by: saumensch on October 19, 2011, 05:11:00 PM
...has finally arrived!

This is my first custom bow and its a beauty.

63# @30"; 58"
Bocote Limb Veneers, Zircote Riser, Buffalohorn tip and riser-back overlays, Beaver Tail Grip.

The details, from the nocks to the finish as well as the service (String with silencers and nockpoint, bowsleeve, stringwax and tipsaver included)are top notch! BigJim was always helpfull and endured my questions and mindchanges.

Axel,that bow is a beauty,it can be an excellent choice to take down a big boar.LOL
I think Jim makes some of the best short LBs,and his taste to match woods is second to none.  :thumbsup:    :notworthy:

saumensch,

Those horizontal cuts on the front of the bow, near the grip, is that standard or did ya have Jim do that special?


I have a Thunderchild on order and was thinking of some ideas...


thanks
