I'm in BigJim's next batch!

Frenchymanny · March 31, 2011, 06:27:00 PM

It's official I heard it today from the Gentle Giant himself:

My bow is in the next batch to be built!!!

I can't believe how happy I am to have exactly the same bow built than I have, except in 2 pieces!

May be because it will have this kind of finish?

Or I saw how the riser is made?

Anyway I'm a happy camper!

Manny, I think I have about 7 months left on my 2 pc thunder child. I think we should swap, seeing that you have a buffalo bow and really don't need another bow right now. But I really need a new thunderchild NOW. Please, Please. Don

Good for you. Hope it serves you well. We'll see you at the stump shoot. I'll be back to shooting by then. No wheels.

Manny, when did you order yours? I ordered mine in mid Oct. and still no word. My wife has plans for this money if something doesn't happen soon.

It sounds like it should be a mid-May delivery, at best.

ti-guy · April 01, 2011, 09:29:00 AM

Yep,think about the pics!

GRINCH · April 01, 2011, 10:12:00 AM

love the looks of the big jim bows and that one looks so nice

. i almost placed a order the other day but decided i couldnt wait a year to see it and ordered a custom from idahocurt on here, should have it in a few months.

anyways a bigjim thunderchild is on my list of must haves. anyone know how well they work for short draw shooters?

Frenchymanny · April 01, 2011, 04:14:00 PM

I shot BJ's personal Thunder child once (read one arrow)

and was amazed how stable it was for a short bow, and how naturally it was pointing...mmmmmmmm....a TC.....

Sweet looking wood. Waiting for a bow is worst than waiting for Christmas when I was a kid. I'll have to just stay with the one I have coming now. I can't take the pressure like when I was younger. I'm not addicted I can quit any time I want. I only shoot to be sociable. How long you say you been waiting?
