What is a MOAB?

Lost Viking · January 21, 2007, 10:13:00 AM

I know the MOAB is one in the Thunderstick line, however, if I go to Jim's website, there is no listing for a MOAB. Is it a derivative of one of the bows already listed? If so, what makes it different? I am thinking of ordering my first tailored bow and thinking seriously of a Thunderstick.

It is the very first bow listed under the longbows. I just looked, it's still there.

Mother of all Bows = MOAB

See it now. If I access the site thru the *********** hyperlink, the web page doesn't show that bow. Love technology...not.

MOAB = extremely pretty, fast, quiet shooting R/D longbow.

I still cant see it on thier website. I have always wondered why it wasnt on there.But I went back a couple of different timesafter initially reading this thread and its still not on the longbow list when I pull it up.

Everytime I see MOAB i kinda chuckle to myself (no disrespect intended) Because we have a local Sandwich place called MOAB = Meal on a Bun....
Again no disrespect to fine Bowyer and his fine Bows....

For purposes of this website I pretty much Wudstick has it right.

For posterity, Moab is a range of mountains in the Near East, in the ancient biblical region; and a group of ancient biblical people, the Moabites.

More to the point in the US, it a region in the American West, Moab. Also a small town in Utah, South of Arches National Park. Never been there, by all reports a beautiful area. http://www.utah.com/moab/

Cold right now though.

The MOAB is a great little bow.....the one trade off that I made that I still regret. Fair price, great craftsmanship and an even better shooter!

I think Jim has 2 versions of his website out there, one hosted by Bowsite, and then his official one: http://thunderstickbows.com/

Here it is:
