Shipping included within Australia.

You'll get a reference and the set and colours you chose by email straight away. Payment is by card, only after the spec is saved.

What happens next

A reference, the spec, then the build

What do I get straight away?

A reference like BFBS-7K3QX by email, with the set and colours you chose. Tim gets the full specification, bow details included. If anything looks wrong, reply or call 0427 581 864 and we'll fix it before anything is made.

When do I pay?

After your spec is saved, never before. Tim confirms your order and sends you a payment link by email; the card is typed on the payment provider's own page and never touches this site. Prices are in Australian dollars and include shipping within Australia.

How long until my strings arrive?

We'll confirm turnaround when we confirm your order. It depends on what's on the bench that week, and we'd rather tell you a real date than a guess.

Why do PSE and HOYT bows need extra numbers?

PSE bows require the serial number and HOYT bows require the cam number so the set is built to the exact lengths for your bow. The order won't save without it. If you can't find it, call Tim on 0427 581 864 and he'll talk you through where it is.

Can Tim fit the strings for me?

Yes. Tick "Fit strings and tune the bow" on the order ($80) and book a day after you order. All bow service work is done after 3pm at the workshop in Argenton. See the bow services.

Buying for someone else?

A BFBS gift card lets them pick their own colours.

Big Fella's strings and cables actually brought the bow into specs with no adjustment, better than the factory set that came on the bow. … All in all, Top quality, fair price and Service hard to beat.
