Title: The Twins have arrived! (New pics added page 2)
Post by: TexasStick81 on November 07, 2013, 12:25:00 PM
No, they aren't actually children, they're my two new Big Jim bows.  And I guess they'd have to be fraternal as one is much shorter than the other.  A Buffalo bow and a Thunderchild.  The Buff is 54@29, 64", Cocobolo veneers with a Cocobolo and B&W ebony stripe handle.  The TC is 53@29, 56",  B&W ebony veneers with B&W ebony and black glass handle.  They're both TD's with black horn tips and back.  Beautiful bows that are shooting great!  I'm working on getting the pics together.  It's just a matter of how many you guys want to see.  You'd think they were children with as many pics as I took.  

Doubtful that I'll need to say anything once I get pictures up but working with Jim is a real pleasure.  He is always willing to email or call with any question you have throughout the process.  The product is always as beautiful as it is deadly.  If you're trying to decide between a few bows, it's a pretty simple decision.  

Pics to come later today....

I don't think that TC fits the style of a Texas man, like yourself. Best just send it to Oklahoma!    :laughing:

All joking aside, those are some GORGEOUS bows! Well done, Big Jim (as usual), and congrats to you on a pair of deadly works of art!

Thanks guys!  Got the TC out tonight.  Hogs winded me but I'm hoping for some luck in the morning.

Beautiful...no other word to describe them.  After you've had them for a while post up a review, I'm curious if you end up liking one over the other as far as shooting qualities.

If I had an unlimited fund for the purchase of bow - Big Jim would get the first and only place

That cocobolo is beautiful. They are both striking bows. Your second set of pictures are really nice. Good work. And congratulations.

Nice, and congrats!!!

Just curious, do they shoot the same arrow or does one require more dynamic spine than the other?
