My new Bigriver recurve

Bigriver · September 05, 2010, 06:43:00 PM

Here are a few pics of my new Bigriver 2 piece t/d. It has a bacote riser with an ibeam of some unknown wood, bamboo core & brown glass. The tips are buffalo horn. I got the horn & bacote from my bud hornhunter. If anyone likes the tips, I can send them some small pieces for there bowtips. 53#@30", 60" with a sleeve system for the takedown. I will run her through the paces & take it along for an elk killing excursion in a week or so.

Nice lines, sweet wood. She's a keeper !

That is SWEET!!

John can sure build them can't he. I bet that one is a shooter, very nice lines to those limbs.

It is a shooter, John`s recurve are really efficient little bows.

Great looking bow!

Brian the wood is bocate with either bubinga or tigerwood I beam. That is a well designed , well built bow. Very nice. It all works. Steve

HH, i`m still trying to get over the pucker factor on her. Every time I string it, my first pull is with my eyes closed :D

Bigriver · September 05, 2010, 07:57:00 PM

Sixby, that i beam isnt either of those. I helped John make this thing & he doesnt even know what it is. It looks like american cherry, but it is much harder & heavier than that. Any other ideas?

Sixby · September 05, 2010, 08:04:00 PM

Ipe, I 've seen it that light. If its not any of them then no. No Idea. Its sure a nice bow though. god Bless you, Steve

Awsome bow and good news that means that John is a little closer to working on my bow.

Nice bow, Brian. Hoefully this one will be the "ice breaker" for you. Good luck in Colorado!

Very nice! I like it. Lippe

That bow has the sweetest lines! She just looks like a serious shooter. Congrats on a fine bow, and Good Luck Huntin'!

53 at 30" those are perfect specs. Does it stack bad at only 60" ?

Good looking bow. Congrats!
