If it were me I'd choose Big Jim's Thunder Child.  I don't know why you would care what I like though.  You need to try them for yourself.  We each have different likes.  Good luck on YOUR choice.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

I'm leaning more to the Dwyer if it's anything like my Dwyer Defiant its supurb.fast no hand shock and quiet.

Rivers Edge cant go wrong. Have 2 of there bows a and 3 set of limbs.. I also like my Fox. Both are easy to deal with and make good shooting bows. BTW - they look great.

Haven't shot a Dwyer but have owned a Thunderchild. It's a great bow.

Mine was just a little lighter draw than I wanted so it got traded.

No offense to Big Jim, but I handled a Dwyer this weekend and it would be my choice.
62" Super D, 47#s @ 25-1/2"
58" TS Mag, 53#s @ 26"
56" Bighorn, 46#s @ 26.5"

Chad Holm's Osprey is a great hybred also. It's worth a look....DaveP

I am curious....   :confused:   ....why is it when a guy has thought things through and norrowed his choice to 2-3 bows which he names, do all sorts of other bows get brought up??  Never fails, but I wonder why.  The choice here is  between a Big Jim thunderchild or Dwyer.

It's a tough decision to make if you have never handled either bow. I say pic one and go for it, worst case scenario it goes to the classifieds where I dont think you would have a problem selling either bow.

This question puts a smile on my face! I would love to shoot both and decide.

One bow. One arrow. My ideal.

Add Kanati to the mix. I am looking at a few options in the same configuration and Kanati keeps coming up. Curious how they compare to the Thunderchild
Thanks

Your original two choices are good ones.  

I happen to own two Dwyers (Defiant and Endeavor) but I'm positive the Thunderchild would be a winner too especially if you want a td model.

I take bow-brand cheerleading with a grain of salt.
I would check the classifieds, no wait,  I'll save you the effort.
You won't find a Thunderchild or an Endeavor listed. THAT tells me their owners are happy.    :thumbsup:
