Title: Buffalo Girls Now Comprise My Complete Stable
Post by: Flatshooter on December 26, 2012, 10:31:00 AM
I sold/traded all my recurves and made the switch back to longbows. After shooting several longbows over the years I've set my sites on BigJim's Buffalos and absolutely love them! Can't wait for the fall season already and even  thinking perhaps I'll take one on an out of state hunt next year.    (http://i530.photobucket.com/albums/dd342/EVANSON/IMG_3783.jpg)

Michael those are sharp! I have one Buffalo 64" in coco/zebra riser with cocobolo limbs.

I'm a recurve guy and have had a bunch of longbows but never hunted one until this year. Big Jim changed that, I can't give his bows any higher compliment.

I should be about a month away from a Buffalo TD all zebrawood    :pray:

Come out tonight, Come out tonight?
Buffalo gals, won't you come out tonight,
And dance by the light of the moon."

Big Jim is an artist. I haven't found a camera yet that can show the true detail in the woods Jim uses.

Michael, you have an excellent collection!

Mike

64" 50@28 but I've been thinking 62". When Jim calls I'll talk it over with him and decide.

Really been wanting to try a buffalo, hoping Jim comes back to the big Kentucky shoot so I can try one out.

Those look great...so what's your favorite length buff to shoot? I'm very interested in a buffalo. I've shot a 56" thunderchild and it is very nice...think a 60 or 62 inch buffalo would be perfect.

tomcfc11,
while I love shooting them all,I've always felt a 62" longbow was the best all around length for my style of hunting. I hunt in tree stands and on the ground as well. The 60" is also great but I feel the 62" draws a tad smoother. The 64" is a great 3D bow and is very forgiving. Bottom line though is, I hunt with them all!!

Flatshooter, what is your draw length? I think a 62" is a magic number as well. Thanks again.
