If it were me I'd choose Big Jim's Thunder Child.  I don't know why you would care what I like though.  You need to try them for yourself.  We each have different likes.  Good luck on YOUR choice.

Rivers Edge cant go wrong. Have 2 of there bows a and 3 set of limbs.. I also like my Fox. Both are easy to deal with and make good shooting bows. BTW - they look great.

Haven't shot a Dwyer but have owned a Thunderchild. It's a great bow.

Mine was just a little lighter draw than I wanted so it got traded.

No offense to Big Jim, but I handled a Dwyer this weekend and it would be my choice.

I am curious....   :confused:   ....why is it when a guy has thought things through and norrowed his choice to 2-3 bows which he names, do all sorts of other bows get brought up??  Never fails, but I wonder why.  The choice here is  between a Big Jim thunderchild or Dwyer.

It's a tough decision to make if you have never handled either bow. I say pic one and go for it, worst case scenario it goes to the classifieds where I dont think you would have a problem selling either bow.

Add Kanati to the mix. I am looking at a few options in the same configuration and Kanati keeps coming up. Curious how they compare to the Thunderchild

Your original two choices are good ones.  

I happen to own two Dwyers (Defiant and Endeavor) but I'm positive the Thunderchild would be a winner too especially if you want a td model.

I take bow-brand cheerleading with a grain of salt.
I would check the classifieds, no wait,  I'll save you the effort.
You won't find a Thunderchild or an Endeavor listed. THAT tells me their owners are happy.    :thumbsup:
