Title: Big Jim's Buffalo,Just Gorgeous Pics of grouping added
Post by: Alexander Traditional on April 15, 2013, 01:30:00 PM
The postman just left,and when I opened the package I couldn't have been happier. Jim had sent me some pictures,but they were off his phone. I had no idea this bow would look this good in person. Here are some pictures. The riser is macassar ebony and the limbs are myrtle burl. The limb tips are sheep horn. It's 64" and 45@28. I've got to call into work and lay off and go shoot this thing!!!

Thanks guys. I couldn't have asked for anything more as far as my taste goes. He did do a nice job on how everything came together. I like how everything is neutral and nothing over the top.

The big man just keeps getting better!  I like the slightly lower grip.

I've been at a friends house shooting it. I've never shot a bow that's so quiet and smooth. I think it's the one for me. I was hitting the bullseye within a few shots with hardly any tinkering. Carbon Heritage 150's with 145 grain up front and cut to 32.25 seems to be doing the trick. Thanks for all the comments,I'll be out shooting it a bunch more tomorrow.

I've owned several of Big Jim's bows and love them. My favorite is currently my go to hunting bow. 60" t/d 50#@28".Redwood burl veneers,desert ironwood riser with horn tips and overlays and beaver tail grip.

I haven't shot a group this good since I got back into archery. This bow is silent,really smooth,and now I know the meaning of getting a bow that shoots where you look.  (http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/_9alex/100_2012.jpg) (http://s1254.photobucket.com/user/_9alex/media/100_2012.jpg.html)
