Just received a new Big Jim Thunderchild t/d.....

[Sharptop]

54", 55@28, Desert Ironwood.

Great bow and I love his takedown system. Easy to put together and rock solid. Also appreciate the excellent packaging, from a lot of bubblewrap to the string having silencers installed, the brass nock set and the string being tied to install with the correct placement. Also included a tin of string wax and a rubber tip protecter. A first class operation.

Big Jim has never delivered anything but first class service to me. Congrats on the new bow. Pics would be nice.

Excellent !! I just got my name on the list for one last week. I believe he makes the best looking bows on the net. Would love to see pics of yours as well as a review etc. Also how long did it take for delivery?

Hey those that do own a thunderchild, what differences can you tell on the shot vs a longer bow? if any?

I just ordered a TC about a week ago from Big Jim and spoke to him about the difference between Buffalo bow and TC. I already own to Buffalo's and wanted to order something different.

Big Jim said the main difference is you can shoot a shorter bow and not compromise on accuracy or velocity. So basically someone who wants a shorter bow for blind use or just plain wants a shorter bow can use it. Jim said he shoots a 56" and his draw legnth is prob 30' or more.

Dave. What wood did you choose etc? I have a short draw of 27" so I believe the 54-56" range is what I'm looking at ordering. He has some amazing choices when it comes to wood.

I will post some pics but don't have the cable with me right now. I think I got on the wait list end of Feb. Had a hard time picking the woods but ended up with all Desert Ironwood.

Great little bows and the T/D is really great for traveling on airplanes, just break it down put it in a bow sock and put it in your suitcase. I have had mine now starting the second season and love it for tree stands and blinds.

I tried the Big Jim Buffalo also but it was not for me. They are not " just longer " version of TChild. Mine is 56" 49@28 and shoots CE 150's and 250's very nicely.

Last years late season in Washington shooting my TC

Glad to hear about your new bow. Sounds like a nice one.

Only one problem though:

[wv lungbuster]

I would be utterly surprised if she was anything but a quite appealing piece of art.

Congrats!!
