Big Jim's Desert Bighorn? Specs on PG. 2

[Lone Ranger]

my buddy and I shot these at the shoot in Ocala, we both left that shoot with one! he draws 32" and I am 29" we fired arrows from 700+ grains down to 400, carbons, wood, even borrowed someones aluminum just for fun. It shot ALL of them VERY WELL @ 16 yards. We could get a 6" group from the same bow with all kinds of different projectiles. We were both sold!

I am waiting on my set of limbs to match the riser I picked out. should come in this month!

I find most recurve risers have too much mass and too many sharp angles.  I.M.O. this one has nice smooth lines and I like the low/medium grip as well. Pretty bow.

Wannabe!  You are so going to enjoy that Desert Bighorn. I got a chance to take a look at one this past spring at the Carolina Outdoor Expo in Columbia SC.  The vice president of the SC Bow Hunters Association had one with the same specs as yours. It was a real shooter.  I feel a field trip coming on since the Albany Ga area is home for my family!

[Mike Yancey]

That looks nice!

Thanks to everyone who posted photos and for all with input! I really was on the fence over this bow for a few days but, after all the positive comments and the way I shot my heavy risered Cornstalker, I am at peace with my decision. I hope I can shoot this one as well! I've got 'til Nov. 22nd for our late season to get it dialed in. Then, we'll be hunting together.   :D

Hope you like it TW.

Man Jim I'm screwed if there's a lefty among them.  I'll have to sell my dog LOL.  Looking forward to the pics

I bought one of Big Jims instock bows about three weeks ago. 62" 43@28". I am amazed at the way this bow fits me. Another one is in my future.  

[Wannabe1]

Mike, I'm assuming the in stock bow was a Bighorn? Got a pic?   :D

[Mike Manassa]

Wannabe1, yes it is a Desert BigHorn. I always have issues posting pictures. The bow has Wenge/Morado riser and East Indian rosewood limb veneers. I like the extra mas weight of the bow and it is super quiet and smooth.

dabprice: Was there a particular reason for the Bear elevated rest as apposed to shooting off the shelf? Just curious if you had issues off the shelf?

[dabprice]

wannabe-
I was playing with an elevated rest and arrows fletched with vanes at the time I took the photos; I usually shoot off the shelf and with feathers.

I didn't notice much difference using the elevated rest except, of course, with the vanes.

[Wannabe1]

Roger that and appreciate the response. Got the antsies waiting for the bow to get here! Can hardly wait to shoot it.
