          Gorgeous, Bruce. Nice choice of woods. How do you like that takedown system so far? Shoot like a one piece?

            Jim’s takedown system is as simple and rock-solid as it gets (I have a takedown T-child – same sleeve system). The sleeve fits as snug and smooth as a glove, and I love that there are no hinges, tools needed, etc. In fact, you can just forget that it’s a 2-piece bow until you take it apart. And this 62″ bow fits into my 38″ Safari Tuff case when its broken down, making it easy to travel with.

                Looks great! Bring em both to AZ. I’ve never shot a big Jim bow.

                  Your resolve is admirable, my friend. By resistance is futile.

                  Definitely. I’m looking forward to taking a javi with this bow!

                    It looks great Bruce. I had just made a fella an offer on a t/d buffalo down here when the Shrew came up that I couldn’t refuse.

                      What limb cores do these bows have?

                        Bamboo cores, but I think red elm , carbon, etc. are options as well.
