Well, Big Jim got my Thunderchild to me the day before my annual campout/hog hunt in West Texas.  All I can say is that it shoots as good as it looks and that's no small feat.  This bow is beautiful and so smooth on the draw.  I was a like a kid with a new bb gun the whole time I was out there, just walking around the country side shooting every cow chip and cactus I could see.  I also shot about a 200 lb boar the first night out with it but due to some unfortunate luck (him quatering towards me on the shot) I didn't recover him, but that's a sad story for another day.  The bow performed wonderfully though, hitting it's mark and putting it 10 inches in him at a horrible angle.  Here are a few pics of the bow taken with my phone but I'll load a few taken here at the house with a nicer camera for close ups of the craftsmanship.  It's 50@28 (I draw 30 and zero stacking), 56" long, cocobolo veneers, gaboon handle, springbok tips and back, beavertail grip, two piece TC.  I couldn't recommend a bow any higher.

Not many build them as nice as the little fella.My 3 piece buffalo would look at home in any Museum or rich fellas showcase,and no one nicer to deal with than Jim.

Trying to upload some pics now guys.  I like "TexasTC", has a nice ring to it.  Should have had him put that on there.
