I'm sure there are a few of you that have seen this bow before. I think it's been owned by about three or four different TGers. But all the same, it's new to me, and has become one of my favorite bows. It's a Thunderstick Mag, 58", 55@28. It pulls a little lighter than that, but still shoots great. I have it tuned with a 29.5" GT 3555, with 225grn up front, footed with 1.5" alum. shaft. Bare shafts and arrows are grouping together. This is also the first time I've tried dental floss as a nock and it's working much better than the serving I've used in the past. It doesn't slip up and down at all. Here are some pics of the bow.

(6/7/11)Decided to put some skins on it.

Now to find a MOAB, and I think I'll be set for awhile.

Glad you're liking it, Matt. It does have some mojo from last deer season. I'm trying to decide on arrow selection for the Bushmaster right now.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking it will be a great blind bow with the short length and dark limbs. What kind of mojo Mark? I'd be interested to know what has been hunted with this bow.

That's a looker, if it shoots as good as it looks you've got it made

Matt, I killed a very nice mature doe last season with it, first season I owned it. Hopefully it will do well for you.

RM81,what size aluminum shaft is that? Going over the gold tip shaft it looks cool...will that same shaft fit over a 55/75?Aloha Ron

BUCKY · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2011, 06:30:00 PM »

Looks exactly like one I traded away. It shot really nice but the handle was just a little small for me.

Sweet looking bow. I like the dark wood. Congrats!

2117 for GT 3555 trads & 2216 for GT 5575 trads. There's a post on here somewhere with all the sizes and what carbons they work on. If I can find it, I'll post a link to it here.

That didn't take long. Here's the link:

Nice looking bow. I have a MOAB and a TS II. Both are very good shooters as I'm sure your Mag is......Randy
