Another Big Jim beauty. That horn is definitely awesome. I'm on his list also for a Tchild.

As promised the arrows come out of the front of the bow!

After several hours playing with some Big Jim Blems, I have them close enough to good enough at 15 yards.

   
Relax,

Jim did a fine job on that one.  He's truly an artiste when it comes to begetting his Thunderchildren.

Super sweet Charlie, congrats!!
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Thanks Guys, This Bow is very Special to me. Thanks to Big Jim Bow Company for their first class service and workmanship.

Again a  Huge thank you to all my good Friends of whom, I will be reminded of every time I hold this beauty.

Therefore this bow will be called "Friend".

One thing I forgot to Mention... My desire to own this bow started 2 years ago at Denton Hill. Jim had one of his personal bows in his booth, that I could not seem to put down. I revisited the booth on many occasions and spent a lot of time holding the bow (probably more than deemed normal or sane).  I didn't feel right about asking Jim to hold the bow until I could afford it nor do I feel comfortable owing anyone...  

Therefore afterward, I started literally saving my pennies and any other discretionary monies I had laying around and setting them aside. When the time was right a deposit was made. several months of good anticipation resulted in a huge payoff.    :bigsmyl:
Relax,
