Trad Gang

A couple of years ago after meeting Big Jim and looking over his bows at the last ATAR I ordered my first Buffalo. I had been wanting to try a Thunder Child. Well last weekend at NCTAR Big Jim was set up with his wares and I tried out a couple of Thunder Childs. The first was a 56" T/D all bocote that was a looker but number 2 just "fit". Its a 58" shedua riser with eucalyptus limbs. It didn't have beaver tail wrap on it but I really liked the feel.

I talked to Big Jim about wood combos and felt like I would put in another order and get on the list.

On the way back home I started really thinking I should have bought that bow. I agonized  over it Sunday and Monday talked to rbcorbitt about it....   :banghead:  Bob has bought a bow or 6 here lately    ;)

Tuesday I called Big Jim asked him to put a beaver tail wrap on it and send her to me. It arrived yesterday while I was turkey hunting. My wife told the mailman she was going to hide it from me but she didn't    :D  

Here she is:

Thats a nice lookin Bow. I cant wait for mine hope it.gets here soon lol

Marc, I shot that very bow at NC, its a  shooter, and looker, congrats.

Do I see a small crack on the riser on the 2nd pick or is it something else????

Its not a crack and there is nothing there now. It must have been a piece of bark or something that fell off.

Thanks Keith. I've tried other short bows and they haven't worked out. I've started out better with this one than any of the ones before.

Sweet looker of a bow. Seems to shoot well too!

Very nice

Sweet looking bow. Thanks for sharing. God bless.

NICE!!   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    

Feels good doesn't it ?

Beautiful bow, Marc.  Looks like just the ticket to take hog huntin'!     :goldtooth:  

Congrats, again!

That Eucalyptus is stunning Marc!

The TC is a great bow.  Love mine.  It sounds like that other one is probably the sister to the all bacote one I have.

Us VA guys may need to have a Thunderchild hunt!  LOL

Nice looking bow!

After looking at the pictures again I see one major flaw Big Jim cut the shelf  out on the wrong side....... :)

:thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  

Nice one!  Enjoy!

Shoot straight, Shinken

I'm with Boyd.  That bow should obviously have been a lefty!    :biglaugh:

Lefty y'all say, then my brother could use it    :nono:


I told Bob awhile back I was done buying bows for a while, I really am now    ;)

Wow,I just love Big Jims bows.Truely Unique.They shoot as good as they look.

Nice looking bow, congrats.

Talking to Bob Corbitt about whether you should buy a bow is like asking Col. Sanders if you should have poultry for dinner.
  :nono:    :nono:

Very nice!!
