I readily admit to being a shameless Dan Toelke fan and will probably never order a bow from another bowyer but I have seen a couple of J.D. Berry bows and shot one and besides being a work of art there was nothing not to like about the way it shot either.

Always admired the JD Berry line of bows. Never shot one but really liked the craftsmanship he places in his bows. Looks like you got a great one!

Hey Bro. Take your next picture with the bow against a white wall. It will show better. Maybe I'll get to see it next trip back.
Heading back to NH tomorrow. I'm glad that I was able to get 1 last hunt in out at camp. No shots possible, but I saw 4 doe, 17 turkey, & 3 opossum.
Whoooah!

I have several, James is an artist. An Apollo is in my future 4/sure! I've noticed over the years his influence in many bowyers out there....He's the Master!

Congratulations. I have an Appollo and an Argos. Love them. James' bows are very popular in our club. Not just look good, they shoot well too. Enjoy it!

Very nice, enjoy. Went to a shoot last weekend, but James didn't go. Is accuse was he has not made himself a bow this year, lucky for him he did not go, I was shooting good.-------Dan Berry
