I have looking at getting a MOAB, but can not find the website, Jim does not answer emails or the phone? Is he still in business?

I believe Jim is still building bows but sells them thru a dealer.  I may be wrong but check with Lost Nation Archery, they are a sponsor here.

I received one of his last bows.  I ordered it in february and got it in june/july.  As far as I know he is done.  His website is gone now and everything.

He made a great bow!
