Title: Anyone shoot a "Thunderstick Mag" by Jim Reynolds?
Post by: BEN on July 14, 2013, 02:51:00 PM

I am interested in getting a shorter longbow mostly for hunting in a blind with my daughter.... I LOVE my MOAB longbow and am considering  the Thunderstick Mag  from Thunderstick Archery.

Can anyone give me any pro or cons about this bow? How does it draw/shoot, esp. at the shortest length?

Thanks >>>------>     :campfire:    :coffee:

The Mag. is a fine bow I have a 58"
Very quick, great for ground blinds

They are a great shooting bow. Mine has Sassafras limbs.  Has a great feel that I really like.

I had one in Osage, great shooter. 60" 56@28. I'm a recurve guy, so I sold it.

I've had both a 58" and 60", and loved'em both, but after shooting Cascade's Brush Hawk at 56", I sold them.  

The TS Mag is still a great bow you would like, and I got no pinch or stack with the 58".

My brother in law has one that is  56 inches and it draws and shoots like a longer bow.  And it shoots very accurately and right where I look.  Just for the record I draw around 29 inches.  I'd highly recommend it.

Jeesh!!  This is looking pretty much like a 1-sided decision!   :bigsmyl:
Might just have to check with Jim as to what his waiting list looks like...   :D    :archer2:

I had one and really liked it.It was just a little to small for my hands. I think your daughter will like it. I had a 58" and drew 26". I could have gotten the 56".

Had one. Grandson liked it. He shoots it now.
Mine was 58" I remember it as a great little bow.

My absolute favorite bow is my 60inch 50# Mag.  They are absolutely smooth, quiet, and hard hitting.  Havent had any experience with the shorter ones though!

Only short longbow that I ever owned that I wish I had back.  If I was in the market for a short bow it would be my first choice, for me the grip was great.
