My new to me 3pc Thunderhorn......w/ PICS
« on: May 17, 2007, 09:04:00 AM »
Ever spend money when you don't have it? Here's another case of "gotta have it".

Duane's new 3 pc longbow caught my attention last year. Then when I bought and shot his 1 pc longbow back in February I knew his 3 pc had to be something very special.

A very fine gentleman sent me his 3 pc Thunderhorn with two sets of limbs to try out. After a couple days of shooting her I posted a 'hail mary' want-ad for one. Couldn't justify the order of a new one. Well as fate would have it the guy who sent it to me, offered it with one set of limbs. So...............I bought it!!

The bow: 60" 45# @28" Cocobolo/Zebra riser. Looks like Yew core and then some very nice Zebra veneers. Beautiful Horn tips which are a first for me. And lets not forget the unique Thunderhorn Stipple grip.

The bow is gorgeous and an awesome shooter. Didn't have the money to buy it, but I did anyways.   :rolleyes:  

The pics have the 45# limbs mounted to the riser and the 42# limbs laying beside it (which are going back to the owner).

Sometimes you have to strike when the iron is hot. Very very nice bow.

Joe, you sure you want that one? I think it could find a home just a little south of you. LOL
