Title: Just got a Big River 21st Century style
Post by: Wudstix on May 03, 2014, 12:59:00 AM
"Halelujah" arrived yesterday afternoon.  She was born around Easter.  65#@27" and 60".  Zircote riser with a red and white stripe of maple running through the riser, bamboo cores, bird'a eye maple laminations and elk horn tips.  Strung and drawn a few times, but not shoot yet due to working two jobs.  Tomorrow afternoon should get a good test drive.  Expect her to live up to her name.  Really excited about the first few arrows.

Where are the pictures? You have to post pics. I'd love to see it. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Big River 21st style myself.

Thanks a bunch, Charlie.

iPhone pics will have to do.  Riser is Zircote, I like the red and white Maple accent stripe, bamboo cores, bird's eye maple laminations and elk horn tips.  The pics of the laminations don't really pop, but they are pretty up close.  Sent John a outline of my hand and the grip feels pretty good.  Probably will shoot it for the first time tomorrow morning.  Just got back from 17 plus miles of creek bed riding on my Mt. Bike and am a bit pooped.  Have to go to work at 1600.  Drew her several times and the @66#+ at my draw length should really snap those tapered maple shafts out there.  She was born around Easter and from all indications should shoot amazing, so "Halalujah" should be a good name for her.

Just threw about twenty arrows from "Halalujah" and that bow screams.  Might have to put some fur string silencers on if I can't get the brace tweaked just right, but that bow can really move an arrow.

Those big river bows sure look nice. Never shot one but they look top notch.  Congrats on your new bow.

Am very pleased with John's work.  Getting used to the step up in poundage from 63#+ to 66#+.  Need to make up some more wood arrows.  Headed to a WMA tomorrow fo some hog hunting.

Have not hunted this bow yet.  MOAB has been busy and I'm more used to her.  Need to get some woodies made up for the 190 grain Instinct heads I got to shoot through the Big River.  Looking forward to the February GRXH at Granger WMA this year.  Fed my MOAB a pair of hogs last year and now it is the Big River's turn.  66# will be a flat shooting, pig killing machine.
