Just recieved a package from Big Jim....... Its my Buffalo Bow I ordered back in Feb... Just in time for the season.....

When I initally ordered all I had set was the Zebrawood riser, weight (58# @ 26") and that it would be a 60" Buffalo Bow...


Other than that I was sort of up in the air.....


I know.... I saw it too... the limb tip pushed through the box.....    "[dntthnk]"  


Ya thanks USPS... No worries though..... damage free......

As the months went by I started to look at veneers and grip design.... Once I saw Waterfall Bubinga I was sold..... When I say awesome look.... It is an understatement.....When I spoke with Jim I said I liked a wide palm and I liked a high hold with 3 under tiller.....

This is the 1st 3 shots out of it at about 15yds..... Shoots really smooth... no stacking or hand vibration...

The arrows are 2018s cut to 28" with 250 gr up front

very nice, Big Jim is quite the craftsman, and an even better person. I doubt you can find any better, the man or his bows.

One beauty of a bow..veneers are awesome. Jim continues to crank out works of art. He needs to work on his spelling some though, bubinga only has two B's.... I  like it though, gives instant character.    :thumbsup:

Now that is one great looking bow, and it appears quite a shooter as well, keep us posted on how it preforms for you.

South MS Bowhunter , Here are the pics you wanted

 (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss275/dave19113/Big%20Jim%20Buffalo%20Bow%2058%20%2026/front.jpg)

See how wide the belly is... It forces your hand high

 (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss275/dave19113/Big%20Jim%20Buffalo%20Bow%2058%20%2026/side.jpg)

Here is a side pi to show the angle....

That is my natural hold..... im not over exagerating the grip.... Due to the wide belly it forces it to hold high, right underneath the shelf


(http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss275/dave19113/Big%20Jim%20Buffalo%20Bow%2058%20%2026/grip.jpg)

Here is an angled shot so you can see the grip in my hand
