Title: Anyone shoot a 54" Big Jim Thunderchild at 29" draw?
Post by: Bob Abeln on November 23, 2013, 01:11:00 PM
Thinking about getting one. Will it handle a 29" draw? How are they for speed, smoothness, quietness etc? Thanks, Bob

Yes they will. They are a great bow and I shouldn't have sold mine. And Big Jim's quality and eye for a beautiful bow are unmatched.

That's my exact Thunderchild length and draw works great very quiet and fast too!

I'm sure it does, I had a 56" and it more than handled my 29.25" draw.  Prolly best short bow I've ever tried.  Very smooth with nice linear longbow feel.  Pretty darn quick for being so short.  And real nice and quiet.  IMHO a better bow than a Shrew of equal length.

Bob,

I pull around 29.5" and my TC take-down 54" handles it without any stack.

PM me with what you are looking for weight-wise as I am considering listing mine.  Too many bows that I'm not shooting and too many new ones on order!

Marc,

Too many bows, my friend!  The TC is just hanging on the rack.

She's way too pretty a bow to not be used and appreciated!    :thumbsup:    

Besides, just thinking out loud  ;) !

what does the 54" like for a brace height?

Usually around 7.75" to 8.25"s

I would say that 29"s would be near max draw length for the 54".

thanks, bigjim
