I see Big Jim every year some year twice at the Spring Fling and the Howard Hill Classic and I get to see lots of his bows.

But that is one sure enough pretty bow!  Last year Big jim was showing me and a bud a bow he had made that was as close to imitation Jade as you could get, pure awsome!

Jim keeps pushing the limits and that is good.
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.

Glad you like your bow and I am not surprised it works for your long draw at 58 inchers.

I had a coupler 56 inch ones.1 was a T.D and superb looking.But I think that one takes the cake.
Its a beauty.But more importantly you get along well with it and have a nice compact hunting bow that will have its advantages at times.

Enjoy!

Wow what a funky looking bow! Awesome. I've just received some Vintage and Outlaw Black Eagle shafts, looking forward to trying them out.

Jim is a master in both woods choice and performance design.
The Thunderchild is a joy to shoot and it makes that with easy and authority. I wish you a lot of hunting adventures with your new beauty

That is definitely a jaw dropper. Nice choice!

I've had 4 of Jim's bows. They have all been fantastic. I have slowly dropped weight so bows have had to go. I am down to one. I will always have one!

nice bow. 32' draw length seems pretty long. Unless the carbons your shooting are 37" id say your draw length is 27-28".
