All you Big River cult members I have some questions.
Are the 21st century clones cut to center? Can they be?
Is there a standard grip or different options?
What lengths is it available in?
Also post pictures!!!

I have one and believe it is cut to center, it is an R/D style bow. I know for sure 60 and 62". Mine started at 62 but was cut downto 60 to get the poundage I wanted. Handle is a fairly straight one with a slight locator grip. Don't know if John will make a custom grip. Ask.
There are several post with pics just search.

Scott, No, they're not cut to center, at least mine have not been. As close as I can measure about +1/8th. John will make any grip you want - it's a custom bow after all. Both of mine have a straight grip. As far as length - his modified Century 21 design is ideally 66" but he makes them in many sizes. Just call and talk to him.

Thanks all. I placed an order for a black phenolic riser and bamboo with black glass limbs. Named dark horse.
Now the waiting begins...

You won't be disappointed. I picked one up used at 43# a while back and it is my favorite bow to shoot. I am currently looking for another at around 50#.

I have a 60" model 65#@27 with a fairly straight handle that I call, "Hallelujah" she was born about Easter time and shots like a miracle.

Hey Scott, mine are not cut to center. I prefer a locator grip on mine.
A big River won the Traditional class at the local 3D shoot last weekend.
I agree with Pete, Talk with John and see what he recommends or can do. He is an incredible craftsman and Bowyer.
Then show us Cult people your bow!!!
