Title: I finally made my decision... New JD BERRY picked
Post by: Brianlocal3 on April 01, 2014, 10:00:00 PM
I came up on James list in January and didn't know what model I wanted to go with, so I paid off my balance and told him to push me back, and then back again in February cause I still couldn't decide.

Well I made up my mind, going with an Argos. 64" 50@26 . I'm giving James full artistic freedom with the exception of core wood, he can pick any core EXCEPT bamboo. Now the excitement really grows.

So in the mean time I picked up a used JD Berry Yaweh 64" 57@28 and  eagerly awaiting it's arrival but I do have a couple pics to share!!  Enjoy

I've been sitting in my closet lusting over the Morningstar for quite awhile. I've never shot one of Mr. Berry's bows but man are they nice to look at.

Genuine friendship endures where fame may foster self-absorbance.

The Taipan design has captured my eye for some time.

Call me.....

Brian -
You know that James is promoting his latest and greatest limb core material. So, do not let him talk you into using particle board for the limb core. I have the particle board in my Morningstar and I just can't let anyone have a Berry bow that outperforms my new PBM.
  :D

I have been keeping quiet since I know James made his "alpha" just for me and I am hoping he doesn't remember the "magic" he built into the "Amazon Queen".

I just read and chuckle at all of those who think they have his "best" while knowing it sits here within a fingertips reach.

Great bows made by a great bowyer usually in up in the hands of deservingly good people and I am happy for each one of you.

God bless,Mudd

How fast a bow shoots is like how much snow did  we get.  If there is 4" in your yard and a 2' snow bank across your driveway.  You got 2' of snow where is matters.  My Morningstar, 53@26", consistently shoots 1918s with 200 grains up front, the same distance that my 62" 52@26" r/d bows shoots them.  Oh yes, we got 5" of the pretty stuff and the 8" on my driveway don't matter.  Subarus love snow and my snow blower is,unlike my Morningstar, very loud.
