My proposed Dream TC takedown specs are as follows:
• Right hand
• Length - 56”
• Take Down Bow Option
• Beaver tail grip – Black
• Extra Fast Flite string
• Wt- 53#’s @ 28
• Grip size – ~ 4 15/16” – 5 1/6” circumference @ throat w/beaver tail grip
• Grip configuration – ~30 degree but no more
• Riser – Black glass w/Accents to complement limbs
• Riser and limb accents are totally entrusted to Big Jim’s discretion
. Limbs - Dalmation w/ gaboon splice at ends
• Tillered for three under
• Horn Overlay Tips
• Horn Overlay Back side of bow
Justifications:
Black Glass Riser – Have always preferred more mass wt. and I do not hunt with an attached quiver. Note: The carbon TD systems adds insignificant wt if any. Big Jim speculated that this glass material could be run over with a semi and hold up.
Jim estimated, to my questionable recollection, that the glass riser may add ~5 oz. of additional wt.
While it appears that each TC is a work of art, I have absolutely no reservations that this one would be the exception. Even those TC’s depicted as solid black or grey are works of art. I had the dream, but it was totally Big Jim whose vision and skills are making my Dream TC a reality. Possibly a little rationalization and some practicality, the small risers are already ~50% covered by the beaver tail grip.
Limbs – Big Jim has only enough dalmation left to complete the limb veneer with a splice of some other wood. That wood will be gaboon. Again, it was Big Jim who came up with this proposal since I initially wished for all dalmation. Jim comes through again.
Yes, the bow’s name will be ‘Dream TC’.
