The MOAB is a excellent shooting bow, smooth, fast, and has one great grip.  Jim is very good to deal with, keeps his prices low, and does alot for the archery community, like donating bows to raffles.  His bow are beautifully crafted and excellent performers.

The problem I have with mine is that I spend all my time dragging and cleaning animals, almost unfair to the critters. Top o the heap both the bow and the bowyer.

Where's Terry??? He's a moab nut.

Super fit and finish, uses top of the line woods, quiet, smooth, pretty quick and as lefty mentioned, an excellent grip, imho.

Terry has one with Tamo ash on it that is simply stunning...one of the prettiest bows I've ever seen, period.

I don't think I could have said it any better myself. I always had a love/hate relationship with longbows until I got a MOAB. But after a very short period of time, it found its way into the deer woods with me while my recurves stayed at home.

Yeah Boy!!!!!!   I gots three....and a 'MOAB To Go' on the way.  Finnaly talked Jim into making a takedown version.

For what its worth....the 60" is smoother on the draw, quieter, and more dead in the hand than the 62".

Here's a few criters with a few MOABS....

1st is 'With Authority'....a 70#@28, and 'with authority' was the 1st thing that popped into my mind on the 1st arrow I shot out of her....and her 1st hunt was a success.......

 

Here's a 60#@28 named 'Sizzle'...cause she really brought home the bacon, and on her 1st hunt as well....here's the three she took that weekend.....

 

 

 

I committed this 60 inch - 64#@28 MOAB to taking a big buck, and named it "Tines" the day I got it. I have been taking this bow exclusively here in GA for 2 seasons hoping to get a nice buck with it. The lams are Tamo Ash, and the colors of the limbs represent the many colors of the tines we chase. And did I ever take a nice buck with it!...a 140 class 260# bruiser ten point. Bout as pretty as they come......

I received my MOAB on a Tuesday. Four days later I turned it loose on some WI whitetails. Meat in the freezer.

I had one, but the grip and bow just felt too small in my hands. Ended up trading it for a Great Plains, which I felt and still feel was a good deal.

I had a Thunderstick III (stolen) and replaced with a MOAB.  62# @27" I pull about 63#+ with it.  Smoothest bow I've shot.  I had Jim make the handle as large as he could and it fits just right in my hand.  Less R/D than the TS III but shoots faster.  The TS III was @4# lighter, but the MOAB shoots 10 f.p.s. faster with the same arrows.  Super bow from a great guy.

Terry,

 Why do you think the 60" is smoother than the 62"

I sold the one I had and still regret it.  In fact, I am looking to get another.  Great shooting bow built by a great guy.

I had both the 60" and the 62" at the same time, and they were the same weight....and the 60 incher was the better of the two all around.  Couldn't find an advantage for 2 inches more.

I was told that my findings were the norm.

Jim told me the 60" is a better performing bow as well when I placed my order, two years ago.  Didn't regret listening to him.  I thought the first time I shot her that the arrows were in the target before I could blink.  So named her "augenblick" (blick of an eye) in German.  She is one fast and forgiving bow.  62# @27".  So far a yard rat, and one Rio Grande tom to her credit.
