          What’s the lead time to get your bow?

          I would like to hear how it works out for you as I have come close to getting one myself… So many great bows, so little money… But the history in that bow will give you much to think about while you are waiting on your deer.

          If you can post pictures that would be great.

            only about two months! I was really suprised. Jay St.Charles is a great guy and fun to talk with. His dad is still signing each one!!!! That alone is worth the $$$. I will post pics when the bow gets in and give you an update.

              I have two longbows which I got from Jay. He lives “down the road” about 25 minutes away. Jay makes a nice bow. I have never shot the Thunderbird but have held many in my hand over in his shop/barn where he makes them. He has shown me the production process several times and I believe it should be a good bow.

              The Pacific Yew is a very lightweight material and is appealing to the eyes for certain. The yew wood used in the handle of my latest home made bow came from Jay’s stockpile.

                I live a little over an hour south of him, I have a classic long bow and a Thunderbird on order and should be done first part of Feb. Can’t wait!
