Most everyone in their life experiences the need to drop down in draw weight with their bows. I'm no exception. I've sold a few of my heavier bows to folks that I know will enjoy them as much as I did.
That said, James Berry has (I think) done well to sooth this old man's ego. My new 46# Vixen arrived yesterday and let me tell you, performance wise, it will not and does not take a back seat to any 55# I've ever had. Looks pretty sharp besides.
Brown glass on the back, clear glass over sister yew laminations on the belly, bamboo core with an exposed rosewood riser. Eye candy follows:

Sharp looking bow !!! Congrats
Bill
Very nice. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
That's a beauty!!
Now I know what combo my Morningstar is going to have when my name comes up on JD's list. I was thinking brown glass and yew, this confirms it! Very nice!!
Dang, Danny, that's a beautiful looking bow. I'am sure you'll put it to good use.
Congrats - that's one good looking vixen
Very nice shooting bows, tried one a couple weeks ago belonging to JD.
Sweet looking rig!!!
That's a nice one Ric :thumbsup:
Absolutely beautiful Danny!
Why am I not surprised....lol
Ole "One-Eye" is making them better than ever.
God bless,Mudd
Beautiful bow!!!!
Danny,
Your not lying, James absolutely nailed this bow. It is so sleek, dark, and classy.
Man I'm jealous! I should have a new vixen arriving shortly and now I'm even more stoked
That's a Beauty! :thumbsup:
That's a "good looken" bow there Danny. Yew is one of my favorites. Nothing wrong with lighter lbs, just means you can shoot longer with out getting tired.
Thats gorgeous! And 46# sure isn't backing down too much. I really like that wood combo as well. I can't wait to see your results from shooting it!
Nice one, Danny!
It's always nice to get a new stick!

My god that's a nice looking bow,old school all the way.I had a chance to shoot some lighter bows this summer and like you I'm totally convinced these lighter bows are the way to go,especially for these aging bones LOL.james sure hits the nail on the head with his bows.
Beautiful wood and glass combination.
Welcome to the club. It sure beats shooting less.
And what a beautiful bow. My Morningstar (same weight) is absolutely the quietest bow I have ever shot, and most of mine are pretty darned quiet.
I wanted to reach through the screen and run my hands over that wonderful piece of art...Congratulations...
That's a very fine looking Vixen. Congratulations.
That is one gorgeous bow.
Great looking bow! Never shot a Vixen, but i imagine it is a bit like a Morning Star on the draw? My MS is 66" 48@28.
:thumbsup:
Good shootin to ya, Ric!
