Steve, hoped you would post your pics.  Besides being a great Bighorn fan, Steve is tops when it comes to buying/selling.  Always a pleasure.

I loved my Bighorn. Sold it a few years ago. At 65#'s just too much bow for me.

Hey Rich,

Any idea if that bow in Ohio is wanting to relocate?  I hate to see family separated.

TTT....always looking for affordable or older Bighorns.  Any 1983 T/D's out there for sale or trade?

My friends,those Bighorns are of my best friend king Cavalier,who owned the Company for 10 years.He bought the Bighorn from F Asbell;he collected all the different style made of those bows since the beginning.He is going to offer it as a complete collection on a major auction site****.
I don't remember the spects of every single bow but most are over 65# uo to 77#.

I used a Great Northern gripper and center shaft from a Delta.I designed the hood to fit my Grizzly El Grande's.It is made laid up fiberglass cloth and epoxy.I made my own bracket arms so I could get the exact angle I wanted and also mount it close to the bow.

At the last minute I decided it needed a bighorn.I had drawn this one 20 years ago as a logo for my business so I just used it and added color.
