I traded them for an ACS that I also got in a trade deal. It was an awesome bow but I've been wanting to try this style bow for a while. I had one a few years back that was 66" and made for a 26" draw. It seemed to stack real bad at my 30" draw. These don't seem to stack or pinch at all so far as I can tell. And they are crazy quiet !

George,
First off, my bad. I mislabeled the Strunk bow "Thunder", but you are correct, it is "Thumper". I edited my post.I don't see a name anywhere on the bow. All I can find is " The Spirit ", made by John Strunk, "Thumper", the weight, and 3*85*5 LB.

The bows are real nice but that pit dog is beautiful.

Thanks guys. I'm diggin 'em so far.

Hey Ben, the Strunk is sweet. It is super quiet and I haven't put any string silencers on it yet. It is pretty much dark when I leave and dark till I get home from work these days, but hopefully I can give them a real workout over the holiday weekend.

Izzy, Thanks for the compliment.

Hey nice pick up on those LB's. As for the Strunk Spirit they are nice. I've owned one since 1988. I've got a Strunk 69" Spirit 70@28 made out of cascara w/ I think is a walnut handle. Mine doesn't have Thumper scribed on it but it is indeed a thumper! I'm not home but I believe mine was made in 86 or 87. I'll try and post photos this weekend.

So what is the wood and poundage on yours?

Sorry, I did have all the bow specs up with more pics but deleted some so it wasn't so pic heavy. The Strunk is 69" and 71# @ 28. Probly round 77# @ 30" for me. It is crazy quiet and super smooth !
