had mine a little over a year and like it better every time i shoot it (and i really liked it from the git-go so that's saying something). I haven't had the bows that some here have but have had Widows, Morrison, Caribow, Thunderstick, Robertson, Dale Dye, Meland Pronghorn, Cascade, Bighorn, SuperShrew and a few others. Jim's bows can stand right there with any of 'em on looks, speed and shootability. When I can afford another bow it'll be a BigJim Buffalo Bow with some pretty woods
