I shoot my best if I release right when my anchor has tightened in. More of a hit anchor and pull through to the release thing than an anchor hold and aim then release thing.

Same thing here...

I received a nice long and slender cardboard package in the mail a couple days ago from James Berry.

Previous experience told me it was gonna be a good one and....and I was not disappointed!

She is a Vixen. 66" and 40# @27". Limbs have a core of amber bamboo covered back and belly with a very dark brown glass.

The riser is made of Pink Ivory, the other half of the block from which James built his Vixen, "Miss Pinky".

Riser encasements are blond bamboo and what appears to be end-grain Pink Ivory.

I sat with the unstrung lady and looked her over for quite a while. Amazed (again) at the excellence in design, and attention to detail I have yet to find in other bows to date. That's a lot of years and many bows.

The riser is a spell-binding piece of what seems to be moving hues and intensity of a watermelon colored wood.....always changing with the slightest movement in direct sunlight and ambient light.

The pics are not good (from my cell phone) but you can catch a glimpse of her character...

She is indeed "Witchy", the evil sister of James' Miss Pinky":

Super Congrats on the OE Vixen, Tony! That Pink Ivory makes for a gorgeous riser. With that luxury quiver, I'd say you're at the top of the heap!

That's a sweet looking bow and no doubt it shoots every bit as good as it looks. And I agree, with that quiver you're ridding in high style.

Brianlocal3 · April 08, 2015, 08:42:00 PM

Absolutely stunning !!
James does not dissapoint , I hope she shoots as good as she looks

Really nice bow, My Morning Star is being built as I type this, can't wait. Enjoy your Vixen.

Thanks Gentlemen!

Ron, hoping to see a few pics of yours!

Rob,
I had to take a beating from my sweet wife for the "luxery quiver" purchase...it was worth it.... :p

I'm a happy camper these days. Will retire in a couple months which will give me plenty of time to to break in my new toys.

Bowitis · April 08, 2015, 08:57:00 PM

WOW! Tony that is gorgeous!

I'd say it was well worth it. That quiver will far outlast the bruises! :D

Wow, what a stunning combo. I should have my Art Vincent quiver in about 6 weeks. Fish scale bottom, pouch with fishscale top like yours and then the droptine whitetail painting at the top like on his website. No fringe with mine either which looks so classy on yours. It'll start out paired with my JD Berry Northstar reversed handle and then this summer my Northern Mist Shelton will arrive with green glass. The Pink Ivory in your riser is flat out elegant looking.

I shot a doe that weighed 150 pounds with a 36 or 37 pound Hill at the exact same spot that I killed a similar sized buck with a 96 pound bow two years earlier. The only difference was the amount of pass through.

You shot completley though a 150# deer with a 37 pound Hill bow

That's impressive!
