I currenly own a 62" MOAB 55@28 ....love it. smooth fast great handle, one of my favorites so far and I've had some of the more expensive bows that I didn't like as much.
The only other Thunderstick that I've shot was the Mag and I liked it too.
The way the handle is shaped is probably what I like the most.
Im sure lots of the other moab shooters will chime in as well. You don't see them for sale very often and when one does come up it's usually gone pretty quick.

I had a MOAB I bought of the classifieds here  and it was a great bow.  I killed 3 deer with it one season and the guy who had it built wanted it back.  I am a softie and I traded him.  The bow pointed very well and hit where I was looking.  Jim Reynolds is a great guy too.  I will have another MOAB.

I just got  a used Thunderstick Mag and shot it briefly and was very impressed. A little more tweaking and I think it will be barn burner.It also has a great look.Take care, Paul

had a Thunderstick III a few years back and sold it to a young fella just getting started who really wanted that bow. It was deadly, i've never shot better with any other bow (and Lord knows i've tried a bunch of 'em). someday i will own another and it will never leave (guess you know my opinion now)

I have a MOAB, and to say it's impressive would be an understatement.

I have a takedown Thunder Stick Mag and will pick up my brand new MOAB today. The Mag is an awesome bow and the best shooter I own. It feels great in the hand and shoots where you point it. Jim is a great guy to do business with.

Shot a couple of MOAB's at the UBM get together and would own one if I had the extra money then.  Great shooting bows.

Mr Green has a pretty nice argument for the MOAB in his recent hog post.

I have one that is 62" 53#@28" that is nice but a little short for my tastes. I have been thinking of returning to recurves.

I think I will go to the Bunker Hill shoot and check one-out

Dang MOAB bow, I hate to hunt with it, spend all my time dragging dead animals and hardly any time hunting.

I just got a 60" Thunderstick Mag, boy does it feel smooth on the draw. Very impressive bow! Like others have said, they are fast and quiet shooters.

Ya'll hush!! I have a MOAB on order and this ain't helping the pain any at all. Although I did shoot a fourty # hog this morning with my old Longhunter the thought of a new longbow on its way is still weighing heavy on me with the anticipation of its arrival. Can't wait to get my hands on a shorter bow for slipping around in the swamps. I think we will do good together.

I have a MOAB 62" 53@28. One of the best bows I have ever owned. Very forgiving for a long bow. Jim is a super guy and will build what you want.
Highest recommendation!!!!

Gotta love'em! Great bows at a reasonable price. I have shot or owned a Mag, Thunderstick III [very nice and didn't feel like the 57#s it was]and a MOAB.My 56" Mag did not feel like a 56" bow Very smooth, fast, and quiet.If you closed your eyes you would swear it was 62 or 64"s.  Jim Reynolds is an  outstanding person and bowyer.I liked the  Thundersticks better than the  Treadways.   My 2 cents.
