Since moving to the United States in the 1980's, he's developed and built hundreds of bows.

He understands the needs of the target shooter and the hunter because he has done it all.  The first bow Jim shot was at the age of 3.

It was a bamboo, straight-end bow his father had made for him.  He has been shooting arrows ever since whether it is over the English Moors, where he grew up, or over the hills in New Zealand or the scendaros of South Texas.
