New Big Jim Thunderchild...
« on: May 28, 2022, 02:01:28 AM »
G'day everyone,

Thought I'd do a test post to see if the photos load up of my new Big Jim Thunderchild...

I was after a lighter bow for a few reasons (all mine are between 63# and 65#) and this was available on the shelf at Big Jims shop as a customer must have changed their mind and I was on the right spot at the right time.

Its a 58" bow and 55# @28" and I'm now after some shafts.

Cheers from Aussie,


Al.

Drop dead gorgeous as usual! Great piece of functional art.

Beautiful stick.  Jim has an awesome talent.
You'll enjoy shooting that one .
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Now that’s a looker........ the big guy doesn’t mess around,  you got a head turner there and I know it shoots at the same level too.  Grip looks perfect to me.  Enjoy it  :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. This is my second Thunder Child and the only issues I have is that it's not a T/D. In any case, I love it and it'll be heading to Stewart Island (the very bottom of New Zealand) next year to hunt Whitetails as I found sitting in a tree stand in the cold and wet weather made it hard to draw my 63# - 65# bows.

I am keen on a Big Jim Buffalo now... :saywhat:


Cheers from Aussie,
