Title: Jim Reynolds did it again... New MOAB in the house!!!
Post by: Bowhunter4life on September 18, 2012, 12:50:00 AM
I had a vision of what I wanted, let Jim know what I was thinking and just a few short months later the box arrived...

60", Zircote and Osage riser with Quilted Maple veneers front and back with all black tips.  Asked for 72# @ 29" and it came in at 71#...

Osage is real bright right now, but over the years it will mello into that awesome Honey color and match the veneers perfectly.  Doesn't hurt that it shoots just like my 68# MOAB.  30" Gold Tip 35/55 (Yeah, 35/55, has a lot to with being non-center cut...) with 80 grains behind the insert and 250 grain tips that put the total arrow weight just over 600 grains.  Quiet as a Church Mouse, impecable manners, and very quick.

Couldn't be happier Jim, thank you again!

You sure get some nice looking heavier bows.  Ever consider shooting lefty, lol.

No surprise to me as Jim always pours his heart and soul into every bow he births.

Congratulations!

Not only is Jim  a fine craftsman but an exceedingly good man.

God bless,Mudd

Just when I was thinking "I'm happy with this bow, I think I'll shoot it forever," one of you jokers posts pics of a brand-new bow and I have to fight the urge to whip out the credit card and get another.  You guys suck   :bigsmyl:  

I hope you stick something nice with that thing real soon.
