Steve, hoped you would post your pics.  Besides being a great Bighorn fan, Steve is tops when it comes to buying/selling.  Always a pleasure.

I loved my Bighorn. Sold it a few years ago. At 65#'s just too much bow for me.

Hey Rich,

Any idea if that bow in Ohio is wanting to relocate?  I hate to see family separated.

Felix, what are the specs on that bow 3rd from the right?  The one with the arrow gripper on it.

My friends,those Bighorns are of my best friend king Cavalier,who owned the Company for 10 years.He bought the Bighorn from F Asbell;he collected all the different style made of those bows since the beginning.He is going to offer it as a complete collection on a major auction site****.
I don't remember the spects of every single bow but most are over 65# uo to 77#.

I used a Great Northern gripper and center shaft from a Delta.I designed the hood to fit my Grizzly El Grande's.It is made laid up fiberglass cloth and epoxy.I made my own bracket arms so I could get the exact angle I wanted and also mount it close to the bow.

At the last minute I decided it needed a bighorn.I had drawn this one 20 years ago as a logo for my business so I just used it and added color.
