Someone here (I believe, Jinkster?) had one and raved about it.

I hear they are super bows but only two things that kept me from ordering is the wait to get one and the elk seeker.

Our very own tom aka "elkman" makes perhaps the sweetest shooting bows you will ever shoot. Both myself and graps ordered his 52 inchers recently and are both over the moon about them. Both bows have a build along on the site that you should look up. The wait isn't even close to big Jim's either. Mine is a simple combo and graps is quite fancy.

My bow is named elysian and is 52 pounds st 26 inches. He makes longer bows as well.

I can affirm that!
I have one of his longer bows and it is a tack-driver!

Actually I'm not sure. He's one of the site admins here so I never actually went to a site other than here. He's probably has 7 or 8 bow builds on the site though.

Of all places, the November 2019 Field and Stream magazine did a very big write up on Big Jim. The man has got some wood.
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.
