Big River Bows

Are these bows still being made and if so is there a site to visit? Thanks

Production is on hold at the moment as John recuperates from a hip replacement.  He does plan on getting back after it as soon as he can though from what I have heard!

No website - old school, you have to use the phone!

Thanks I may be getting one of his bows and was looking for info. Do you have any hands on with the 50's style recurve?

I happened to see one over the weekend at a 3-D shoot....didn't shoot it, but it was a sharp looking bow!

His bows are well crafted.  I have a r/d long bow and a 59 replica. Both favorites of mine.

I have s 60's recurve all cocbolo with yew limbs.  One of the nicest bows I have ever shot even though John is geeting grouchy in his old age

If you dont like it, it wont last long on the classifieds.  Chances are, you will like it.

John has always been grouchy.

But he makes a very good bow!

I want one of his takedowns.  Hope I can locate one.

I know The Footed Shaft has some of his Hill style bows, they had a flatbow but some lucky guy grabbed it before I could see it

My wife said the box is at the house. Got a few hours to wait before I can play with it.
