Big Jim makes a beautiful bow and for what you get i dont think you can beat his prices anywhere. I have shot his longbow and a Widow longbow at the same shoot and i couldnt tell a bit of difference between the two.

His bows are solid as a rock and the finish he puts on them seem bomb proof. It would be hard to find anyone that has the kind of service Big Jim provides.

I have had 2 dealings with Jim and both times it was smooth as glass even when i screwed up one of my orderes.

That bow you are getting is one of the best looking bows i have ever seen. Jim will for sure build me a longbow someday when i get my funds in order.  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Thanks all for the kind words!!!

I decided to go with BigJim's bows for their toughness and ability to perform in a harsh environment, but on top of that they are beautiful! All that with a very reasonable timeframe for delivery.

This week will be a long one waiting for the mailman!   :)

I called Big Jim today and told him of a most beautiful Cocobola and Osage bow I saw, and he said "Yeah, that's Manny's bow it's going to Canada."  Great guy to talk to and very informative on wood selection.  Thanks Manny!  My next bow will be a Buffalo Bow!

Superb cast, no handshock at all.
This bow shoots as good as it looks.
In fact, after half a dozen arras I was able to group better than with my actual bow!

So well that I sated to shoot 20, 25, 30, and some more yards...to the point I became over confident, shoot over the target and made a hole in the garage of my huting partner and best friend Serge     :scared:        :smileystooges:    

Shooting this bow was like meeting with an old friend again: Easy, fun and deadly
