I will be coming up on the list this year for a 2pc Big Jim Thunderchild.
And yes I will be speaking directly with Big Jim on the subject
I have a 29.5" draw and I'm trying to decide between the 56 or 58" Thunderchild. I was hoping there were some long-draw Thunderchild shooters who can give me their opinions on which they prefer and why. Cheers

I never shot a bow that was too long.

I don't no if this will help,but at one time I had a 44# 56" and one that was 47# and 58 " I don't know if it was # or length but I could group much better with the 58". I draw 29" I also had Shrew bows at the different lengths and the long one always had better grouping I still have the 58" thunder child and it shoots great Gary

I prefer the 58" and I draw 29" Just my opinion but the longer bows just feel smoother

1" on each end??? Why take the chance with a 29 1/2 draw? Like 4t5 said I never shot a bow that was too long. >>>-----> Ken

I would go 60" still short enough for ground blinds or whatever you need and at your draw very comfortable.

I cant see there being much different that design has long draw built in. The string angles between the 2 is very small. If it's a shorter bow your after that's a good one. The Buffalo is also good they start at 58". I've had both.

I'd go 58" at 29.5" draw... I mean, unless you find yourself in tight spots all the time. I have a 32" draw and shoot a 58" TC and love it. For the heck of it I built a 60" TC to see what I would think of it and I couldn't tell the difference. Sold it the following week. Figured why have a long short bow. A year later I must have thought I didn't give it a fair shake so I did it again. Shot it for a month. Even killed a deer with it. Didn't do anything for me.. I mean it shot fine, but I felt not attachment. My Desert Bighorn is 62" so why have a 60" TC. Sold that one after 3 months.
I won't offer it in 60" because every guy with a 26" draw thinking the pathway to smoothness is a longer bow will order a 60"... then on every thread about the TC you will read "Oh, it was a good looking bow, but it was sure slow" but he won't bother to tell you he couldn't get it any where near it's power curve.
I see this time and time again with guys and there "_ Insert bow name__" Sorry, kind of got carried away here. If you want it to be shorter and are worried about smootheness drop a couple lbs.
Whatever you choose, if you wish you had gone the other way, just call me up and let me know and I'll build you the other bow at no charge... just cost you shipping. Someone will be happy to buy your other one from me. BigJim
