Big River 21st century bows

All you Big River cult members I have some questions.

Are the 21st century clones cut to center? Can they be?

Is there a standard grip or different options?

What lengths is it available in?

Also post pictures!!!

I have one and believe it is cut to center, it is an R/D style bow. I know for sure 60 and 62". Mine started at 62 but was cut downto 60 to get the poundage I wanted. Handle is a fairly straight one with a slight locator grip. Don't know if John will make a custom grip. Ask.

There are several post with pics just search.

I'll pm you John's phone number and you can ask him.

Scott, No, they're not cut to center, at least mine have not been. As close as I can measure about +1/8th. John will make any grip you want - it's a custom bow after all. Both of mine have a straight grip. As far as length - his modified Century 21 design is ideally 66" but he makes them in many sizes. Just call and talk to him.

Thanks all. I placed an order for a black phenolic riser and bamboo with black glass limbs. Named dark horse.

Now the waiting begins...

You won't be disappointed. I picked one up used at 43# a while back and it is my favorite bow to shoot. I am currently looking for another at around 50#.

I have a 60" model 65#@27 with a fairly straight handle that I call, "Hallelujah" she was born about Easter time and shots like a miracle.

Hey Scott, mine are not cut to center. I prefer a locator grip on mine.

A big River won the Traditional class at the local 3D shoot last weekend.

I agree with Pete, Talk with John and see what he recommends or can do. He is an incredible craftsman and Bowyer.

Then show us Cult people your bow!!!
