I recently received the bow from the build that I won in the St. Judes auction. I had always wanted a custom Big Jim bow and was on the waiting list prior to the auction but when I saw he was auctioning a build I just couldn't resist and had to bid! In the past I had owned 2 thunderchilds and they were both exceptional and I was able to take 3 deer with one of them...but there was just something about the lines and shape of the Buffalo that captured my eye. So when time came for the build to start I already had my dream bow in mind and Jim was able to bring it to life. The wood combos were inspired from another bow I saw that were comprised of Koa, Wenge and Yew. I love the warmth of the woods when they are brought together. I also added Moose antler overlays and copperhead skins. After receiving the bow, I shot several different arrows in various spines and materials both aluminum and carbon and found out that this bow prefers a stiffer arrow than some of my other bows and it is very fast! I settled on a 28 7/8" GT trad with 200 Grains up front. They are weighing in around 480 grains total.
Specs are 64" 50#@28
Im getting around 47-48 pounds out of it I believe.
Thanks, Jim!
