Thanks for looking!
God bless,Mudd
Sure looks good. Be sure to share how it shoots. Also what riser wood is that.
A beaut. JD Berry is definitely on my short list of Hill bowyers to sample.
Very quiet in the video. What string are you using?
Beauty of a bow!
Looks really cool.Is that light colored center limb lam glass or bamboo?
** EDIT REREAD YOUR 1st POST***
Stunning!
Bulldog18 click on the bottom photo and judge for yourself how it shoots.
TxAg it is whatever JD puts on his bows. If I remember what he told me, it's a 14 strand FF.
Thanks for the kind words.
I feel a lot like a mountain climber who is at or very near the place where you plant the flag.
God bless,Mudd
Nice bow there Mudd..congrats
Uh, WOW! You sure know how to order 'em Roy.
14 strand,FF plus, 30 dia. serving.

Thank you but it would be more correct to say that JD knows how to build them.
Thank you James!!!
I am already looking forward to meeting her(Amazon Lady's) sister..."The Huntress"...lol Morningstar with identical everything with the handle on the opposite side of the limbs.
God bless,Mudd
OOOOHHHHHHH! I like that. What a great piece, and the White glass is awesome!

I agree...the collaboration between you and Mr. Berry produced an absolutely stunning bow. I am also awaiting the unveiling of your Morning Star as y'all have succeeded in getting me bent on giving one of them "backerds" risered bows a go. :help:
Go backerds, Never go back! lol.
And she's a looker too!
Dandy bow Mr. Mudd :thumbsup:
Eric
Mudd and JDBerry...thanks for the reply regarding the string. Cool bow and sounds super quiet even without silencers.
Wow ! Mudd I think you just helped Mr. Berry sell me a bow ! That vixen of yours is a knockout for sure !
profile of the limbs reminds me of my old Serpentine.

Wow...it even has white racing stripes...one cool looking bow..congrats.
That's beautiful bowJD has to be at the top of the FLAWLESS Bowyers list. Very nice!
Good looker Roy!

Thanks Butch.
The pictures do not do it justice and it shoots as good or better than it looks.
God bless,Mudd
Wow. What a beautiful bow AND sweet shooter. Good on you. Another beautiful build by JD Berry in collaboration with Mr. Mudd. I'll tell you, Sir... you may have started something with that white glass and 7 laminations.
I cannot wait to see her sister.
Happy Shooting.
JW
Dang it Mudd Iam happy for you but you're making the wait intolerable for me. Gorgeous bow. Mike
Hello! Does anyone remember Saxon!?! Just had to put that out there!
She's a looker for sure. Probably ...easy..and pleasant to shoot I bet.
Very pretty bow there Mudd.. :thumbsup:
That bow's amazing.
AWESOMEEEE looking bow Mudd :archer2:
Aloha Mudd,
All I can say is AWESOME!!
I secretly wanted a white glass bow after seeing one made by Fred Anderson on a 1 piece recurve.
James did a great job with that combo. Mudd, you make it very difficult for me as I wait for James to finish my morning star.
Mahalo,
George
Looks great Mudd. I will be over your way next week for work maybe I can swing by and take a look at her?
Dang Bro Mudd i thought ya had got ya self a woman not another Bow :laughing: :laughing: oh well the Bows ok i guess
James is putting out some special bows and this one is no exception. Congrats Roy!
The nicest thing about a Berry bow is form follows function...They are lookers but even better shooters...
~CB
Flint you know that you are always welcome.
If you wash your hands 1st I guess I can let you handle "The Amazon Lady"....lol
God bless,Mudd
Mudd,
Beautiful bow man. When you explained what you were wanting done I couldn't visualize it. That is an amazing looking bow. Elegant, classy and a little showboating all together. If its anything like my 3Berrys I know it's a shooter.
JD Berrys are an apex predator in the bow world and that one have shotability and beauty all in one place.
That's a classy looking long bow! Enjoy
Mudd - Whenever I see pics of a bow I really like on Trad Gang, I save them to my hard drive for ideas for future bows for myself. I saved your pics. That bow is stunning!!!
That's an awesome looking bow! Would you mind taking a side view picture that shows the entire riser including the fadeouts and posting it please. Thank you.
Mudd how long was the wait,,, I ordered mine just before the 4th and I'm "hoping" its ready this weekend..
I would be lying to you if I answered this with anything other than I've waited all of my life for this experience.
I did not know there were any mountains in "Sherwood" but I believe I must be somewhere near the snow capped peak.
I wish I could answer your question in the quantified time frame that you are looking for but I can not....why...because truthfully I do not remember when I placed my order.
The other problem I have in answering it is one that only those folks who have children will understand.
I remember the day my daughter was born but after that day I had a hard time remembering my life before her.(Truth) It's as if she had always been in my life and all time before her was unimportant.
Please accept my apology for not remembering the details in a fashion that might be more helpful for you but I will tell you that no matter how long the wait, it will be worth it!
God bless,Mudd

Great lookin shooter Mudd!!
A fine day in Missouri, a fine day :)

To metaphorically compare your bliss to that of having a child is touching and quite a tribute to Mr. Berry.
I am with you on both accounts...
~CB
I need to tell you this Mudd. My hands were all over your lady at the morning coffee table at Jame's. sorry :biglaugh:
It's ok Elk77... a few hours with me and she can't even remember your face or name...lol

I just hope that she's not so much in love with me that she'll allow someone else to touch her...lol
God bless,Mudd
MUDs , very eloquent way to word it. It is no secret that I am a huge fan of James bows and I have said it multiple times, but the moment I first recieved my Vixen I just knew I had the pinnacle of perfection in my hands. I have sense ordered and recieved two more Berrys and have a fourth on order.
Once you own one, you finally get it. And truly know what what we mean.
I just got in from taking the "Amazon Lady" out for a few evening arrows.
I just had to be sure she was feeling right at home so I shared with her what James and Danny said and her reply was "James and Danny who?"...lol
God bless,Mudd
That's a beautiful bow Mudd!
But after looking at the pictures a little more closely, I am pretty certain JD mislabeled that bow. To me, it looks like a left-handed Morning Star that JD put put the leather grip stitching on the belly instead of the back.
I will PM you my address and you can send that one to Colorado beings how I am left-handed and all.
Shoot straight!
Doug
PS - Still lovin that Osage Royale :thumbsup:
I had "the Amazon Lady" in Columbia for a whirl around the public range with "Longerbow" (Bruce

Thanks for looking.
God bless,Mudd
Mudd, she sure is a looker!
Looks like the date out in town was a success! I hope you paid for lunch. Lol
Enjoyed the phone call fri. from you & longerbow, Have a feeling that longerbow is gittin ready to one up you, on his bow order coming up Mudd.
Hahaha! Not if he continues thinking clear glass he won't.
But if he does by some stretch of his imagination, my future "in the hole" bow(Morningstar) will put me back on top...lol
God bless,Mudd
Congrats on your new bow Mudd! Sure is one heck of a looker. I got one one and now I get it. Just placed an order for a 65# Vixen, tic toc :campfire:
Mudd,
Your lady will be hard to beat, but I have great confidence James can do it, especially with clear glass! I am allowing him some artistic license, so he can have fewer limits on his creativity. Watch and see!
It is so hard to wait. I don't know if it helps or hurts when he says with a smile, "You're coming up."
Roy,
it brings joy to my heart to see a new lady in your house :wavey:
Wishing you some happy :archer2:
Mudd-
Maybe I missed it, but what is the significance of the name "Amazon Lady"? Just wondering.
Hermon: the only real significance is when Mr Berry called me to let me know my bow was finished he proudly announced that it was a girl then quickly corrected himself and said she actually more like a nicely dressed out lady at which point I replied she has to be an "Amazon Lady" if she's going to the woods with me....lol
God bless,Mudd
PS: If everything turns out as Mr Berry tells me it will(I have become a believer in what Mr Berry tells me) then her sister bow (Morningstar) where everything will be identical to this one, but with a reverse handle will be named "Amazon Queen"
