I got this bow on Friday and after about 20 arrows I had it tuned and felt confident enough to take it hunting on Sat. It isn't picky about arrows at all and I'm able to shoot my Beman 500's and my GT 5575's out of it with great flight out to 25-30yds. This bow was perfect for my Sat. evening hunt which had me perched in my Summit climber with the bar across the front. With the short 56" length I was able to manuever and shoot comfortably out of the stand. The bow balances very well and has exceptional pointability and accuracy for a short risered bow; I was nocking the center out of my block target at 25yds after just a couple shots. If I ever get the chance to travel to far away places to hunt hogs, elk, bear, or any other critter then "Gray Ghost" will be taking the trip with me.

Hey Kenneth,Great looking bow.the little fella sure does nice work.all the best.
-
Great looking bow. Now I really need to order one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
ohhhhhhh, I have the "wants" soooo bad for one of those........ :thumbsup: :notworthy:

Great review Kenneth. I just bought one off the classifieds and should have it by Monday. It's a one piece. If I like it as much as I think I will, I'll have to get back on Jim's list for a 2pc. Waitings easier if you already have a Buff and a TC to play with. How many of Jim's bows are in your Stable now?
Good Luck hunting!
-
Dan, I have a Dalmation Buff and the 2pc Thunder Child but as soon as I get the funds I'm gonna order a 2pc. Buffalo bow.
-
I look foward to the day that I get the opportunity to run the Thunder Child.
The bow visually, on paper and from the many positive comments warrants a closer look.
-
Neat looking bow. I really like it's name and the 56" length. Good luck with it.

Kenneth, the TC came today and I had to rush home from work to catch some daylight to at least see how she feels. Oh Boy, your review is spot-on! Sooo smooth, fast, and quiet as a Mouse Fart! I just love how she points. What a bow. Oh, and of course Jim's workmanship is just flawless. I'm loving the Tiger Myrtle, and it looks perfect with the Ziricote Riser. I'm gonna have to call Jim and "Beg" him for a spot on the list for a 2pc as soon as I catch-up on a couple things. Now, to start the agony of choosing the woods. Lol! I've seen a few stunning Gray Stained Quilted Maple bows lately I can't get off my mind. Ain't life Grand when you Go Trad?
-
Zowie ! thats nice.
-
Awesome tree stand bow--I like the "pick a spot" saying on it!
-
Dan, good deal brother!! I love that Tiger Myrtle and I'm seriously considering it for bow #3 from Jim. The hardest part about ordering one of Jim's bow is not the wait since it takes me that long to make up my mind what wood combo I want.
I did some fine tuning and this bow eats up the GT 5575's with Big Jim broadheads on the end. I don't think Rhinehart new about the BJ broadhead when they made the warranty on the 18-1 target. :)
-
Kenneth you're right about her tolerance for arrows, and I'm already confident enough to take her hunting this week. As a matter of fact, I'm loving her so much that she is now my Go-To Bow. Gotta get a 2pc for sure. I'm using CE 30-50's with 225 grain Interseptors for a 510 grain total arrow weight. I'm getting just short of 50# out of her at my draw and she really spits an arrow with speed and authority. I love this bow! I'm leaning towards AmberBoo core with Dirty Boo Limbs, and the heaviest Riser wood Jim can get.
-
Dan, yep the little TC's are awesome shooters and they grow on ya real fast! I didn't see any pics of yours posted. Show her off a little! :readit:
I'll try to get some more pics this weekend with my Slim Jim quiver mounted on the bow and hopefully I can talk John into making me a 4 arrow Pro quiver to match since I'll mostly be using 3 blade heads.
