I have often talked about what it took for a bow to "do it!!" for me.
I've always said that when I put my hand to the bow it had to transport me to "Sherwood".
When I got my JD Berry Vixen "The Amazon Lady" I made the remark that I wasn't aware that "Sherwood" had any mountains in it but after shooting my Vixen I felt as if I had made it near the top of the "Sherwood" mountains.
Well, "The Amazon Lady" will have to get used to her new ranking because in this mornings mail "The Amazon Queen" arrived.
JD Berry Northstar "The Amazon Queen" 66" 46@28,
Zebra wood riser, brown glass on the back, white on the belly with bamboo cores.

As soon as I can get things figured out I hope to post a video of the very 1st arrows I shot from her.
God bless,Mudd
Nice! I am hoping my next bow will be a JD Berry.
WOW, Mudd, she sure is a looker!! Nice bow, I know you have lost some sleep waiting on her arrival. Good on ya buddy, what a sexy looking bow! I can't wait for the video to see her in action.
Bob.

God bless,Mudd
I came inside adjusted my brace height a touch and tied on a string nocking point.
I had to know and the only way to find out is to shoot it.
I shot 3 arrows at the pull tab ring.

PS: the pull tab ring is somewhere in/under that bunch of arrows...lol
God bless,Mudd
Whoo Hoo! Glad that the postman didn't forget you today. IF by some chance you are NOT satisfied with the thing you call Amazon Queen, you can send it on down to me.
I see that Mr. Berry has done it again. Can barely wait to get mine!!!!
Man thats a pretty bow. Congrats and enjoy. My Vixen should be here soon but am enjoying my Morningstar in the mean-time.
Just think how good she'd shoot if it was strung the right way. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: ;)
Beautiful bow Mudd!
Danny please "DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH!!"
I was showing her off to Nick and the 1st arrow shot in his presence went through the pull tab ring.
I have a picture to prove it...lol But I think I could be seen as bragging if I were to post it up...lol
Aw! What the heck!

I hope you can tell from the picture that the arrow is through the tab ring.
This bow has rapidly moved to it's "Alpha" position.......just seemed like the natural position for her.
I think the "Amazon Lady" understands her place serving "The Queen"..lol
God bless,Mudd
PS: If I already said this please forgive me but "The Amazon Queen" has planted the flag atop the mountain for me!!!!
Nice looking bow...... :thumbsup:
Wow Muddd, you got a winner there my friend.
Bob.
Roy,
:bigsmyl: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Danny
Awesome looking bow Mudd. The more pics you post of the reverse handle the more sense it's starting to make.
Roy quit tempting me!
Mudd,
What a fantastic lookin Northstar. Due to work I haven't been able to shoot mine much lately BUT after a two week hiatus of shooting I stepped out Sunday to do a quick dozen shots and split a nock on my secon shot!!!!! They are a very forgiving and accurate bow for sure
Congrats Roy, that's a superb looking bow. Thanks for showing us the first arrows across her rest, but more than that, am glad to see you're back to good health and can enjoy her from the start.
I'm still waiting on my Vixen, and now I find myself wanting a Northstar. LOL.
Great looking bow Mudd. Glad you like it.
:thumbsup:
NICE, NICE, NICE!!!
She looks like a real shooter Mudd
"The Amazon Queen" ruling her subject.
Such grace and beauty.. she is a queen!!

Beautiful bow Mudd. Sorry I never got my pics up but now you have a beauty in your hands!
Have fun and good luck this season.
I've been shooting a couple of JD's bow for 15 plus years.
Nothing less than superb quality with the Reinssance and Yaweh!!
But are my eyes deceiving me or is the handle on your bow backwards? :dunno:
Kingstaken -
No. you are not mistaken. Mudd's just a backwards kind of guy. He shoots left handed but tries to make everyone believe he is a righty.... :bigsmyl:
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
Actually, it is a forward handle bow that James is making now. I too have one on order. When it gets here, you can laugh at me.
Mudd once again I had my hands all over your "Amazon Queen (Northstar) at the morning coffee table at Jame's. Before she went into the mail I told her "I know you don't want to leave me but just remember every time Mudd is shooting you just think of me and you will be fine." :biglaugh: I to really like the Zebra wood riser. Happy Shooting Mudd :archer2:
im at the top of the list the missed weight list.so the next time james makes up a lefty and its to light or heavy i may have anew Morningstar.
wow roy what a great lookin bow. i am always amazed by james' bows. been gettin them for 10 years. need to get some funds and get on that list. my next bow will be my seventh berry bow. now im stuck on which reverse handle. morning star or northstar. choices choices. :) i know either way i go it will be a work of art. like all of james' creations
Shawn I know how much you like smooth and forgiving.......
so here's a a hint....
think "string-follow"...lol
God bless,Mudd
PS: I give my JD Berry Northstar "The Amazon Queen" an "A++++" rating!!!!!
Shawn, I like a bow limb with some pre-stress, Many people the string-follow. Its a very hard call on the "stars" But, wen two longbows preform so close, It says a lot. Both bows have what a archer looks for. ....James
