Frassetor, I started taking ASL a few weeks ago.

I have both Burt, and there's no wrong answer for sure.  The only reason I put one of them on the bow rack is to shoot the other. They both get plenty of arrows.....daily.     :D

Like Green, have both. Can't go wrong.

Congrats on getting on the list, which one of OE creations is a difficult choice. I am waiting for my build to come up for a Taipan.

I'm excited, I'll give Mr. Berry a call in a couple of weeks.......A morning Star at my specs, YaHooooooo!!
Title: Re: Spoke to Mr.Berry today
Post by: ronp on February 28, 2015, 08:44:00 AM
Hey Ron, what specs did you decide on?  And what wood choices and limb lams did you pick?
Title: Re: Spoke to Mr.Berry today
Post by: ron w on February 28, 2015, 09:27:00 AM
ronp, specs will be 45# @ 29", 66 or 68. The rest is up in the air. I'm thinking Myrtle riser, brown glass on the back and yew on the belly. I'll let James give me his input on what he thinks will pull off a great looking and shooting bow. This will be fun.......
Title: Re: Spoke to Mr.Berry today
Post by: ronp on February 28, 2015, 09:51:00 AM
Those specs sound perfect Ron (for me!).  Now I'm thinkin' I need a Morningstar to go with my Taipan...

Many thanks ... I met James many years ago at a shoot in Washington and bought a bow he was shooting, then I won one at a shoot a few years later and then I bought another that was used from a fella in Spokane. All fine shooters.

Ken, the bow you won, did it come out of the Richland WA. shoot? In the early 90s, My brother, Dan and I use to donate 3 bows a year to the club for about 4 years. They were/are a great club.  ..OE

Sorry Macatawa!  I just got off the phone with Mr. Berry a while ago.  Ordered a sweet Morningstar between shoveling snow detail.

Well James, can't blame a guy for tryin'...   :p
 
Ron, I am sure that we are both in for an awesome experience.

Is the "OE" a different series of the same bows he offers now, just a fancier or different version of them or is it just a nickname that he goes by and that's what you all are calling his bows now?

If I wanted an ARGOS...there's not a standard ARGOS and an "OE" ARGOS is there?

I know it might be a stupid question, but I wanted to ask and make sure anyway.

Thanks

From my understanding after talking with James a few times, including today, the OE bows are an improved design that, according to him, will make me want to throw my current Morningstar in the trash bin. I kinda doubt that, but at the same time it really makes me look forward to see what the mad bowyer has spawned since OE became the norm.

James - hope you and Ms. Pinky take some coin off Dan!

Yes that was it, I was over shooting with Dave Young and Aaron Fortune. It was a pretty honey colored bow with snake skins, unfortunately I put a knick in one of the lams accidently and it broke on me, I cried for a week, but it was totally my fault. The one I bought from you also had snake skins, it was a 55#er and I sold it a few years ago because it got a bit heavy for my old bones.

BVS, sorry I don't make T/Ds.
Ken, I spoke with Dave Young last fall, Great Archer, and super nice guy. I am pretty sure I remember you, Wasn't that in 1994, WOW, where has time gone, that was 21yrs. ago.
Rob the BIG prize is the day I take coin from Mr.Rob Green, I will be saying "Any old one eye guy can beat him" LOL  ..OE

Post by: elkken on March 01, 2015, 12:07:00 PM
James you are correct on 1994, I was just recovering from falling off my roof and I may have even had my "boots" still on each foot. I believe you and I exchanged bad ankle stories. I talked to Dave just yesterday, he and I still go to a shoot or two each year, and yes he is one of the finer shooters around.

Glad to see your bow building business is still going strong.

Did you "Thrash Em"?  :saywhat:

I may start thinking Ms. Pinky is nothing more then a free loader, if I don't do better next week.
 I came in last, but only by 2pts. Starting to get the hang of this, one eye shooting thing, I got going on. (you just hope for slop in arrows and jar lickers!)  ..OE

James, I'd be happy to take that free loader off you hands.  Hate the thought of you having to put up with her nonsense.      :wavey:

However, her sister is apt to be just like her tho...just can't win.
