Big Jim's Desert Bighorn recurve from Denton Hill
« on: August 01, 2013, 03:51:00 PM »
http://i42.tinypic.com/2mzxpaa.jpg  Pictured is a Big Jim's Desert Bighorn recurve which I puchased at Denton Hill. The limbs are Bocote and the riser is East Indian Rosewood and Bocote. The specs are 52#@28" draw weight and 60" length.I went to Denton with no plan of purchasing or trading for a new bow. Well, this one caught my eye so I had to shoot it and wow did it shoot good. I told Jim I would be back in a few hours to try it again to see how I did. Once again it shot great groups for me. Jim ended up giving me great value for my trade, actually what I had paid for it several years ago so I had to get it. The attached picture shows an average group when I do my part from 20 yards. The bow is a work of art in fit and finish, smooth to draw, and fast and accurate. If you get a chance, do yourself a favor and try one of these out, you won't be disappointed.

It is Cyclic, I made the mistake of shooting it and the rest is history.

I bought one from him in Feb. Great bow. The grip is amazing.

I'm not a speed freak but I think he may have come up with one of the fastest recurves out there. It is as fast if not faster than any bow I've ever owned.
