wood grain blems at BigJims and Gold Tip News

[wapiti792]

TTT missed a nanny doe...matrix BS. They are sharp late. Nose as long as a funeral in January...

Ordered 2 dozen. Down to 2 arrows    

[BigJim]

Don't you hate that matrix crap. I had one do that in Kansas this year.

No Drew, they didn't listen to the script. I think they heard I was planning on doing some blem shaft and broadhead testing on them.

My son and I spent most of the day inproving the pig set ups. We added a couple new locations and multiple ground blinds for less cooperative winds or pigs.
It was a nice day.

Jim that's where you went wrong , ya don't go as a shaft and broadhead tester ya go as a bird watcher       they will never see it comming

[BigJim]

The only birds I watch are the tasty ones...then I wan't to shoot them...I'm smart enough to bring a shotgun for that though.

That is awesome news! I shoot full length 7595s, and I had to go to the black ones instead of the Trads because of the spine difference. Jim, do you expect to get wood grain blems at .340 spine in the future too?

[BigJim]

Johnnyk, I expect that I will one day. but even in the 340, these will be one of the lesser requested shafts. Just not that many people shooting enough weight to even use the 340.

When they have them, I will get them. In the mean time, as soon as they are available, I will have some non blems in stock.

Thanks, bigjim

Awesome, thanks!

[BigJim]

I'm still trying to find out the specs on the 340 but they aren't available yet so I guess there's time.

you guys that shoot these I'm wondering about 29" BOP 3555 for a mild R/D longbow (Green Mtn Classic)that shoots 53@27  I have points here from 125 to 300gr like to set this bow up with a couple doz dedicated arrows.

[BigJim]

Tajue17, I think that you would be close on that set up. Probably going to like 200+ grain points for total arrow weight...but "might" have to build the side plate out a little. It will depend on things such as the cut depth of the sight window and your release. might even want to add a weighted insert to them to keep front weight up without having to use the heaviest of points.

If you are willing to cut a little shorter if necessary, I think that they will be a perfect choice...Only way to know is shoot to tune.

Thanks, bigjim

I must have a crappy release as I find the 55/75s cut to 28 1/2 inches tipped with regular inserts and 205 grains simmons and 3 five inch feathers fly great from my 55-60 pound bows.

[BigJim]

I would say that you are probably right where you need to be Davet1963. 55-60 lbs on 5575. Of course the bow has a lot to do with it.

Ok, the winner of the first week drawing at BigJims was Faye Hogan. She had called in to purchase some limbs for her son's samick sage and a bow for her daughter...I hooked her up with a samick fox. She needed arrows and supplies too.

She was very happy with her first time purchasing from us and after the news of her good fortune, maybe she'll call back when she needs more archery stuff.

Now on to next weeks winner....do you have your order in yet?

thanks ya'll, BigJim

[Tajue17]

Jim thanks for posting,, I can cut shorter my draw is 27" then ad a 1" for BH clearance and I guess I could take an inch off as a reference I have been using heritage 150's from another bow which are 29" and have 100gr inserts and then 125's screw-ins and they seem to fly pretty good so not sure where the GT spines fall with the Heritage spines (old heritage)

I want to get separate arrows set up for this longbow though and really need to get on these GT's this time.

Dont cut you arrows too fast,try the long alu insert (50gr) they make the arrow stiffer,at least for me.

Ok, many of you may already know that we had a bunch of Bear t-shirts for a great price. These are the shirts they have had up for the last few years. Well, they closed them out this year and I bought everything they had left...over 1000 t-shirts. Up until yesterday though, I had only received the xxl and xxxl for whatever reason. Well, yesterday, a truck showed up with two whole pallets of T-shirts in the rest of the sizes...yes some designs are limited in quantity, but if we have one in your size, they are priced to move...half of normal retail. Don't forget, free shipping until Dec 24 on orders of $50 or more...and a chance to win a made to your specs custom bow and other prizes. My mother will be making the custom bow...just kidding but I bet she could with just a little guidance

By the way, the old heritage 150's were a little stiffer than the 3555 gt's.

thanks, bigjim

[BigJim]

Well, it took about a month to find enough time to list them, but we have just added about 8 or so new in-stock ready to ship BigJim bows...ThunderChild, Buffalo, and Desert Bighorn. In addition, there is about 10 new to me used bows added.

Don't forget, free shipping until Dec 24!

thanks, bigjim

[BigJim]

It is still possible to get your stuff in time for Christmas, but I believe you would have to request expedited shipping.

Free priority shipping will still apply on all in stock orders of $50 or more until Dec 24.

thanks, bigjim
