Never had the pleasure of shooting one but they sure are beautiful. All the reviews says it awesome. Definately on my "want" one list!

What quiver do you have on your Thunderchild?

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Beautiful scenery there. What length is the thunderchild? Does it stack at your draw length?

Looks like a great day, and beautiful country!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Thank you for sharing the day afield.
Those TCs are very likable    :bigsmyl:  

This is my only regret in life, not to be able to shoot the bow with my dad.
On the other hand, days with my son in the great outdoors are very precious

Really like those pics.  Seems like stumps could bed an elusive animal where you hunt!

I looked at Big Jim's personal bows down at Tannehill and he shoots 81# at 31" out of a 58" Thunderchild so I would say any fears of stacking are unwarranted. I draw 30" and I drew a couple of his 58" and a 56" and they felt fine to me. His quiver with its angled bracket mount feels really really good on the Thunderchild. I might have to pick one up at one of the next shoots I see him at  :)
Sometimes nothing is a really cool hand.

The area is along the Milk River just outside of Havre, Mt called the Badlands. This is right behind their house. Cool area.

threeunder - I don't know the mfg of the quiver. It was one my Dad had. I just put it on there for the day, just got the bow the day before.
