Tell me about your MOAB...

[Bowhunter4life]

I just bought an '09 Thunderstick MOAB from a fellow member off the classifieds.  I've been wanting to try one for a long time, but they just don't come up that often for sale used... guess that may say something about them right there.  

This one is 58", and 56# @ 28" so probably 59# or so at my 29" draw...  Osage riser, osage veneer on belly, Tamo Ash veneer on back and boo limb cores.  






I'm thinking it really needs some copperheads and a black beavertail grip, but I guess that will have to wait...

Let me know your experiences with Jim's bows but especially the MOAB.  I've read a lot of good, and very little bad, basically that is why I've wanted to try one for so long...

Thanks all, Jeff.

Congrats Jeff,
I have three of Jim's bows, 2 Moabs 62#, 70#, and a 55# Rams Horn. All fantastic bows. Hard hitting, quick and quiet. Good luck. RP

   Patiently waiting.

The MOAB is a great bow, and you are right, you don't see many of them for sale for a reason.
I own 2 of them, my son has a T-stick Mag, and my wife shoots a T-stick III. I like the look of the Osage, thats a sharp lookin bow. Good luck and good shooting with it.

Autumnarcher is right i own two also.That is one sweet looking bow.

My first Thunderstick was a Thunderstick 3, then 2 Mags after that, then 2 Moabs after that. Yea, I like Jim's bows. Shoot alot of the others.....always go back to Jim's

You want to cover up the Tamo ash veneers with snakeskins?  Get professional help, friend:  you aren't right in the head.          

And by the way, a MOAB is my go-to bow, complete with Tamo ash veneers.

I leave mine hanging most of the time... too deadly, spend all my time dragging critters and not enough time hunting. When you're hungry, pick up the MOAB.

[Terry Green]

Don't have time at the moment to say anytyhing but.....

You gonna cover up that Tamo Ash with copperheads?            

PLEASE

i saw that bow i the classifieds and had to get off the computer immediately. thanks for buying it because i was getting weaker by the second......  great bow.

and i agree w/ others here, no skins over the tamo ash man!!

Do you have any problems with the critters seeing such a bright limb?

Never. I've used a bow that bright before and no problems. I've been wanting to try one myself so I went and ordered one. It should be here in a month or two. Thats some cool looking osage.

How does the 58" bow feel with Your 29" draw? Is it Maxed out at that draw or could You fudge another 1/2" out of it?

[fatman]

...I didn't know they did the MOAB in a 58"

[Bowhunter4life]

I haven't gotten the bow yet, it is in the mail... but I'll let you know what the draw feels like at 29 and I actually have a bit more...  

I had to ask too FM, but it is actually 58"...

[Autumnarcher]

I don't think you really realize what a big mistake you made. Once you start shooting a MOAB, you will find yourself comparing other bows, and being disappointed in their comparison. That MOAB will feel so dead in your hand, and fling arrows with such authority that you will soon realize why it is named as such.

[Bowhunter4life]

I'm fine with that John!  I've wanted to try one for some time, and I have a feeling all this is going to do is make me order another around 70# @ 29"...  But, that isn't a bad thing either!

[Wannabe1]

Crap!        Just when I thought I was done looking for a while, you have to post a beauty like that! I'm the biggest sucker when it comes to Osage. Now I got to go to Jim's site and have me a looksee.   :rolleyes:

I had a 60" I sold. I wish I had it back now.  I would get a 62" for my next one.  I just had a 66" TS III and liked it a lot, but the grip was different than the MOAB.  I just traded it for a 62" TS III with the same grip as a standard MOAB.  I like it a lot, but it is not as fast as the MOAB I had.  I think Jim lists 60" and 62" for the MOAB, but I saw a 64" one not too long ago so it looks like he will do different ones.  I pulled my 60" to 29" without problem and I got it from someone with a 30" draw.
