Title: Another Big Jim Beauty
Post by: pdk25 on December 16, 2013, 05:34:00 PM
I just got my new thunderchild in the mail from I just got my new thunderchild in the mail from Big Jim today, and it came out beautiful like they always seem to.  This is a 2 piece 56" thunderchild with Black and white ebony riser/veneers, bamboo lams and horn tips and overlays, 60#@28".  Here are some pics of the bow.

I ordered this bow just to have something a touch heavier than my 50# thunderchild.  Not sure which one that I think is more pretty, since he did such a great job on both of them.

I can only hope this new one treats me as well as it's 50# brother.  I have had more success with the bow than any of my other trad bows.  Here are a few of the critters that I have been lucky enough to introduce to the thunderchild.   These thunderchilds make a great hunting bow, and aren't too hard on the eyes either.

I'm calling BS on this whole Big Jim thing...there is no way one guy can turn out so many beautiful bows so fast.

I'm pretty convinced that he's cranking them out at a workshop in the North Pole with a bunch of underpaid elves...

Thanks Mike.  No pics of squirrels, lol.  They can make a high pitched sound that breaks camera lenses.  No pics of armadillos or raccons either.  Just happy to get the arrows out of them and cleaned up before they drag them into a hole or chew the arrow in half.

Those are tiger myrtle, and they disappear in the woods when the oak leaves are on the ground.

Beautiful bows for sure. That is quite a collection of critterage you've stacked up with that 50 pounder. Those Thunderchilds sure do have bloody spirits!

The justification for their popularity is easily ascertained.

Congrats and enjoyed seeing your fine harvests.
