Title: New Big Jim Thunderchild...
Post by: Al Kidner on May 28, 2022, 02:01:28 AM
G'day everyone,

Thought I'd do a test post to see if the photos load up of my new Big Jim Thunderchild...

I was after a lighter bow for a few reasons (all mine are between 63# and 65#) and this was available on the shelf at Big Jims shop as a customer must have changed their mind and I was on the right spot at the right time.

Its a 58" bow and 55# @28" and I'm now after some shafts.

Cheers from Aussie,


Al.

Now that’s a looker........ the big guy doesn’t mess around,  you got a head turner there and I know it shoots at the same level too.  Grip looks perfect to me.  Enjoy it  :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. This is my second Thunder Child and the only issues I have is that it's not a T/D. In any case, I love it and it'll be heading to Stewart Island (the very bottom of New Zealand) next year to hunt Whitetails as I found sitting in a tree stand in the cold and wet weather made it hard to draw my 63# - 65# bows.

I am keen on a Big Jim Buffalo now... :saywhat:


Cheers from Aussie,


AK.

The Thunderchild is a great shooting and great looking bow. Yours is certainly no exception, congrats!

I have a Thunderchild and a deposit in on a Buffalo.
