Big Jim Mountain Monarch 60" AMO 48# @ 28" 2-piece takedown review Big Jim's Bow Company based out of Albany, Georgia has a history of crafting beautiful, one-of-a-kind custom bows that shoot as well as they look. If you read my review of Big Jim's Thunder Child, you know I like his work. Without much fanfare, Big Jim recently released a new recurve called the Mountain Monarch. I only just learned of this new model while browsing the classifieds listings of the ArcheryTalk forums and came across someone selling a mint condition Monarch. Apparently, he purchased it directly from Big Jim himself at a local shoot and found it to be a tad heavy in draw weight. Even better is the fact that this bow is a 2-piece takedown - you all know how much I like takedown bows. A few messages later, the Monarch was on its way to me. **** 09/04/17 Update **** I had sent the bow back to Big Jim for grip modifications. Check the end of the post for more...
