Congrats bud!  Jimbows are nice bows.  My buddy Charlie Marshall had several of them.  They were all stolen from his house.  He always carried them on our elk hunts.

Thanks Felix

He sure does... Reasonable prices and a quick turnaround.  Makes a great belly three-piece recurve and some nice mild r/d longbows.

He just injured his thumb pretty good on the tablesaw so I think it's going to be a few months before he's back at it.
