New Big River Bow

[Earl Jeff]

Gave John McDonald a call today and Ordered a new big river bow. 66" 60#@ 28". All black from top to bottom. Phenolic riser and black glass john said he would even dye the edges of the bamboo black for me. NOW THE WAIT   :(

[AdamH]

I'd LOVE to try one of his L/B's looks like a Real Shooter !! Good Luck w/her,, Oh Yeah, how long is the wait ???

[Earl Jeff]

Hopefully only a few months

Congrats Earl!! you wont be sorry. MY third Big River of THIS year is on order. Yes i said 3rd.  Just can't beat a McDonald bow. I got it bad and only started shooting TRAD this year. John called me last week to go over some details of what i wanted again.  Have you owned other BIG RIVERS?

Awwww C'Mon guys.......thats just not fair........ Look like I just might have to order another one to try and keep up!

[Lamey]

Right now I would say your crazy ordering an all black bow from John, who can put together some amazing wood combinations..... but im sure once you get the bow and post pics I will be thinking, man that looks good.    

I gotta ask,  are you doing some night hunting??  Some 'shining maybe?

I've got an all black bow on order from John - 64" and 47@28.  I knew I wanted a phenolic riser but was undecided about the limbs so I asked his opinion on veneers and he actually suggested black glass.  I think it will look great.  I've had an all black bow before and thought it was classy and beautiful in an understated way.  I think you made a good choice!

Black is cool but he makes such a pretty bow, I don't think I could do all black. No matter what they are made of they sure do shoot well!!!

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Wish I could afford another.  Congrats Jeff, I'm sure you will be happy but I know you know what you are already getting.

If I could I would order a  take ddown from John, then my real problem will be do I hunt with my big River, or do I hunt with my other big river?  I know tough problem to have.

My Dad ran into John on Saturday, he seemed to be doing well!

Does Big River have a website?

[Cyclic-Rivers]

website?  

[David Mitchell]

I guess not    judging by Cyclic-Rivers response.

[Jedimaster]

Negative on the web-site.  John is old-school (which I can certainly appreciate in many ways).  No e-mail either.

[Pete McMiller]

Do I hunt with my Big River hill style or my Big River R/D?  Yep!!  Taking both to Colorado.  I hadn't made friends with the R/D until last week and now shoot it almost as good as the hill style.  Only thing is that now I'm thinking I might need another one................... why?  Just because I 'only' have two.  

[Cyclic-Rivers]

You can Call John, He is at his shop almost everyday.  If you need a phone # just send a pm to one of the guys here that own his bows. I'll be glad to pm his #.

They are tough to come by used, if you see one they don't ever last long.

I have three of John's bows.  Might order another.  Two are black,  The first, I ordered in all black.  I told him right out that I was gonna spray it camo, and I did, both the black ones.

I don't need a beautiful bow.

I have two beautiful bows from John. I thought I go with the stealth look this  time

[Cyclic-Rivers]

Earl stop it, you are making me ponder borrowing a few bucks and placing an order,  That goes for Joe and everyone else here posting pics.

I'm drooling on my keypad      

[Earl Jeff]
