Thunderchild is back home!
« on: August 01, 2013, 10:03:00 AM »
At ETAR I had the pleasure to meet with BigJim and pickup my Thunderchild I asked him to refinish.

Last year, I slipped and felt on a ridge for a few hundred feet. It was embarrassing, and it dinged "Chameleon". Nothing bad, but I must say I like the eye candy factor in a bow.

So it was like picking a new bow!

The back:
 

The belly
 

The coin:
 

Beaver tail handle and new rest:
 

Wonderful work, I am happy!

I love the new rest the Gentle Giant put on, we did shot under a severe downpour at Denton and still it looks brand new!

Tristan I will try to be more careful   :campfire:    :archer:

I will have to say, After Manny fell and I knew he was ok, it was pretty funny.  I was there for the unveiling of the bow.  It is incredible.  Good thing Manny shoots way to much weight for me or I would have played a joke and took the bow home with me   :readit:    ;)    :p    

It turned out exceptional.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Thank you Ron and Izzy!
