Here's one I owned for a little while, I got it in trade. Jerry Ragle, is the proud new owner. Great bows with plenty of speed and very smooth drawing, Excellent craftsmanship. The only problem I have with Jim's bows is the factory strings, their just not quiet on this type of bow. other than that I highly recommend them to any one.

Rob- are you shure that when you got my bow that it had the string that I supply with the bow?
The number one coment that I get from everyone that shoots my bows is that there amazed at how incredibly quiet they are.
 Just wondering, never heard that complaint before.
Thanks, BigJim

Hi Jim, yep I'm pretty sure it's the stock string. The string you see in the pic above is actually one of Jim Gainey's strings he gave me at the Tyler Roberts shoot. Him and John were there together, I think they were surprised how loud it was. I had the bow braced at 7 3/8" shooting a 480gr arrow, the bow is 62" 50# @ 28" on this particular bow my draw was about 27 1/2". Here is a pic of the stock string, Orange and Black, laying next to the Arm Guard. I think it's a 14-16 strand TS-1. She was a great Bow! and I will definately own another one.

One little string don't spoil a great bow! These are pure shooters, and with the other string she's quiet as a church mouse! No complaints here Brother.  :thumbsup:  Your right, that is a pretty darn spiffy Arm Guard   :notworthy:

F-Manny, get the "Beaver Tail" Grip and strike plate. It adds an awesome feel to the grip! You won't be disappointed.
