Those JD Berry bows are on my short list.  Lefty4 had a beautiful one for sale a while back that I was strongly considering, just wished it was either 2" longer or 2# lighter, but who knows I may end up with it someday if he hasn't already sold it.   Or I may order a new one.  Those nocks he carves are something else.

Now that is a beautiful taipan. Not only is the taipan my favorite of all of the JD BERRY offerings it is hands down my favorite longbow to date!!
Ric o shay (Danny long) did a fantastic write up when he got it

Danny has been a big help to me since I bought his old bow for sure.

They shoot straight and make meat.  Plenty of meat!  Good luck with her.

Thanks Brian.  I keep kicking myself about James' bows.  After a 8 month wait, two months longer than what James estimated, my build came up.  I was going for another 62", but upping poundage from 53# to 60#.  In that last two month period we decided to commit to a saltwater boat and it resulted in not having funds for a new build.  Then James explains that he's completing his current list and not excepting new orders.

Good grief, Keith! That's some meat! I only hope to shoot a moose some day! Well done!

I should be coming up for a taipan in the next couple months. November December maybe.
Was talking to James about the combo and think walnut cores for sure

I think we can arrange a boo plank  :)

I'm gonna call James and ask him to hide some boo in your next bow....  :)

If James will no longer be taking orders, it is totally understandable, the number of people that will ever be handling my Morningstar has dropped to one, just me.

I hadn't heard that James is no longer taking orders - is this a temporary situation?

I have 2/3 more months to wait on my Taipan and I am really looking forward to getting it. I have never shot one of his bows but  James builds some Sweet bows even with one eye    :thumbsup:   He is a pleasure to talk with also,he definitely knows his stuff.
