Kip,

Once again outstanding.  I certainly miss mine and can't wait for it's replacement.  

God Bless,   Pierre and Jean-Pierre

Jim's bows come with these bow socks, lube for the two pc joint, T-shirt and a stringer...

I have some time before work to shoot. I'm taking an assortment of arrows to see what they like  :)

Kip,
I converted my Bowsock to a 1pc or 2pc. I folded it in half, then cut a slit each side of the center, about 3 inches or so from center, wide enough for the bow to slide into. Then tie off the open end. This way I can just untie the end to slide it in in one piece, or slip each half in from the center, then fold over to carry it taken down. I plan to sew on a velcro flap on the end to replace the strings. Those are nice fleece 'socks and protect the bow well.

coaster500,

Please continue to let us know more about your experience with the twins.

I know when we had our twins we didn't get any sleep for the 1st fifteen months. Unfortunately true. LOL

That's a great idea Danny. These socks are really nice thick material...it seems the little fella doesn't do anything cheap  :)

I will probably be up all night tonight from pain!!! I shot so many arrows I can't lift my arm  :)

I took several different spines with me and was very surprised to find that the twins are not that fussy at all. The 3555 GT Trads I use in the buff@45#s worked perfect in the 45# TC but they shot well with the 50 that surprised me. The 50# ate up the 5575's that are my heavy weights with 300 grains up front. I am really impressed with the smoothness and lack of finger pinch, even with these big mitts of mine. They are forgiving, quiet and man I love to handle and shoot them. I still can't get over the heft of these little bows. They just feel real in your hand. The owner of the local pro-shop (wheels mostly) has an indoor range and was grinning ear to ear when I let him shoot them......a couple of guys pull in with there wheels and the little guys made believers out of them at 20yards. The twins with a tiny bit of help from me tore up the bull (a rare day for me but I didn't tell the wheel guys that) Maybe some more trad guys in the making?

Jim many, many thanks; I can't say enough good things about the Twins. They are all I hoped for and more  :)

Coaster- The only thing I look for in a bow is a happy customer. Glad to see that I found that in these three bows.

Thanks very much,

Steve if I can next week I'm going to take a little walk about at my buddys 3700 acres. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky and find a hog that's lookin for my arrow? I just put in another order for a 50# Buff last week so I'm at the back of a longer line this time  :)  Oh well, you and I know what's at the end of the wait......

These bows and Jim sure seem to be getting more and more popular. I just received my Thunderchild, bought here on the classifieds, and am totally in love. Only thing that could have made it more perfect would have been a takedown and the beaver tail to be brown.

Hmmm ... may have to be thinking about ordering custom one of these days.

Congrats on the twins. They are beautiful.
I, too, know of the sleepless nights with twins (some 23 years ago.)

Have you noticed that the Tiger Myrtle bow is any liter in mass weight than the walnut?

Not really, there may be a difference but I can't feel it?

It must have been meant for me. Just happened to check the classifieds right before heading to church last week and there it was.    :pray:  

It IS a great looking bow. I have had a little time to shoot it but not a lot. It will definitely stay in the collection. I just need to spend a little time with it and do some minor tuning.
