I do not know what to say about this bow. My mom used to tell me if I didn't have anything nice to say I should say nothing at all ... she forgot to instruct me on what to do when I had everything nice to say!!!
First off, I want to say Jim Jones is a gem of a guy who was a real pleasure to deal with. Secondly, he finished my bow ahead of schedule and the end product met or exceeded all of my expectations!!!
The pictures I took really do not do this bow justice. On the other hand, as nice as it looks, it shoots even better. The riser woods are Maccasar Ebony and Yellowheart. The limb veneers are Waterfall Bubinga with Cocobolo caps and limb tips.
This is the quietest bow I have ever had and it only has a real small set of catwhiskers installed. My shoulder has been bothering me and I have been struggling to shoot my recurve which is around 60lbs at 29". This bow is 62lbs at 29" and is smooth as butter and a pleasure to shoot.
It took me about two volleys of arrows to adjust to the bow and then it shot exactly where I was looking. I had been having a hard time grouping with my recurve past 20 yds (due to lack of practice from the sore shoulder) anyway I was shooting really good groups almost immediately at 25 to 30 yds+ with this bow. The 1st group I shot with my 170 grain Zwickeys installed at 25 yds was a little bigger than a cantelope. I chronoed the bow and it was just as fast as my custom recurves. I have only had the bow a week but there is no doubt that this is going to be my goto bow for my 1st bear hunt which starts on June 6th.
I wanted to make sure to give Jim all the credit he deserves but enough talk ... here are the pictures!!!
