That is a good looking stick!

M O A B   in my opinion, one of the better things in life!

Congrats on the Thunderstick.  

You won't be disappointed. I've got a couple of Jim's bows and they shoot great. Congrats

She's a beauty! I second Josh (Oliverstacy) for a great string, and fast.

Thanks everyone.  I emailed a couple of forum members but in the mean time I found a local shop that has one in stock.  It's less than a mile from work too.      

No string =      

Mudd & LongbowBen, some of your posts about the MOAB's helped in my decision on one of Jim's bows.  If this one shoots good, a Mag and MOAB will be on my list to try next.

Bought a string.  Got home.  Strung up the bow.  Checked brace height.  8"????  Unstrung bow.  Measured string.  Apparently someone put a 58" string in a pack and labeled it as a 59" string.
 

Your welcome,You definitely want to try a MOAB.See you at the bunny hunt  

i got a 66"er coming before to long.if i dont like it it will be up for grabs.from what i read about them i think i'll like it though.

Yeah Ben, as long as I can find a string for it and get it tuned, I'll bring it along.  Shouldn't be a problem, but I got a Grizzly that's hungry for some rabbits waiting in reserve.

Papa Bear, from what I hear most people do like them.

Anyone one know if the old 3" shorter string length adage works for the Thunderstick III's?

I've called around to almost all the archery shops I can think of and still can't find what I need.  It seems as though most shops don't cater to trad shooters.

Don't tell Leatherneck, but I think I'm going to pick up one of these for the Bunny Hunt in February.

Dont worry he has one also  

For anyone else with the question as to string length on a Thunderstick III, Jim said it needs a string about 2 inches shorter than the bow.  And also that it likes Dynaflight 97 or TS-1.

Waiting for a bow to arrive is hard. Having the bow in hand and unable to shoot it is down right cruel. Hope you enjoy! Great looking bow.

Believe it or not I had this happen once and it was a TS III.  Man was I disappointed when there was no string.   :mad:          If I knew ahead of time I could have had a string waiting.  Jim got me one right out so I was shooting in about 4 or 5 days.  I think I needed it for the GLLI 2009.  I think I got the stirng on and tuned fair two days before the shoot.

I picked up a cheap string while I'm waiting for one from the bowyer.  Not too bad for guessing on the setup with no tuning whatsoever.  Shot from about 15 yards.

 

Looks like you are getting the hang of her.How does she feel to you?

Looking good.  

It felt good at first, but I think I twisted up the string too much.  It started getting loud and I could feel some hand shock with it braced anything over 7".  I'm going to wait until I get the string from Jim to do any tuning to it.  It should get here any day.  I could tell the difference in speed though.  I was consistently hitting high due to the increase.

BTW, I also picked up one of those propane heaters.
