Some real history in those last posts. It would be very cool to own something like those bows/arrows.

Good to be able to this these fine pieces of history. Very nice! Very nice, indeed!

thanks for sharing the pics of the bows and arrows, so awesome to see the connection with our hero's and lecacy of the way of life.

Thanks for sharing these photos and stories!!  Very cool!!!

Brad,
Unfortunately I don't have any hero pics to post yet this year. I have hunted with my HH on almost all of my hunts. I have had a lot of close encounters but I only had one shot opportunity so far that resulted in a miss when the doe ducked as I shot. She looked right at me as I was drawing. As you know it it gun season now but I am still hunting with my HH. I hope your season is going well.

First off great history there, thank you for posting those pics.  Secondly, Shawn got a new JD Berry Misty Dawn in and asked if I would post the pics in this thread so for you viewing pleasure I present the first String Follow JD Berry in about 20 years.

a few more.

Hey Brian,

What do you think about those limbs ... are they trapped like a Vixen?

Bob.

Greg,

Thank you for showing them here!

Brianlocal3,

That is a great looking bow!!!

Bob b the limbs will be trapped on these bows unless u didnt want em. James is pretty flexible. And this bow shoots great.  I have a vixen too.

This is not my bow ( I wish ) , it's shawns and unfortunately I don't have the ability to shoot it.
Bob I think Shawn answered about the trap

I really like that purple heart riser on that Misty Dawn string-follow Shawn!

How does your Misty Dawn compare to your Vixen?  Pat B. has reported some great results with his Vixen.

For comparison I have shot (am shooting) both the NM Classic and NM Shelton and find their performance to be very comparable.  I would guess that Misty Dawn and Vixen are similar unless there is a significant difference in draw weight or are there major differences in limb construction?

Enjoy!

Shoot straight, Shinken

 

Nice bow Shawn!

Here's my latest; got it in a trade with Coaster 500. This one's a beaut; 64", 50@28, a limited edition 'Longbowman's Choice" with yew and carbon. After I adjusted the nock point to fit me, the bow shoots lasers with my wood arrows. A couple of pics:



These HH bows are truly addictive, but I don't consider that a bad thing.

Shinken : my vixen is over 10 #'s heavier so its hard to compare the misty dawn and vixen. However i do have a shelton about the same weight and the misty dawn seems smoother and softer on the release.  My vixen and my misty dawn are my two i shoot the best, if that says anything.

Hey guys, I recently called Dan Toelke to ask him a few questions about his D bow. He said he would just send me one in my specs to shoot for a while. Long story short, I sent him the money for it the other day after being unable to stop shooting it for the past 3 weeks. I believe I may be infected. Further symptoms include ordering a Northern Mist Shelton the other day. This thread is the reason for my initial interest which then led to my first exposure at the hands of Mr. Toelke. Guess I'm a goner for sure now!

Swine , two great bows by two great bowers. Your off to a good sickness!!! And yes, you are infected now!!!!

Yep, me too Swinestalker! I made a call to Steve too. My Shelton came today. I didn't know how long it would take me to get used to this style of bow but was very surprised that I took to it right off.
This was my first 6 arrows at 20 yards.
 
Not banging nocks but I was happy with it!
Took her for a walk and did a little stumping.

I was shooting at the red leaf. All a little low but one and it was high    
 

Not good pictures but had to use my phone.
I really like this Shelton and very much enjoyed the conversations I had with Steve. He's a fine bowyer and fellow. I'll be ordering another bow from him I'm sure  

Pat,
That was my Longbowman's Choice. I posted pics on this thread of a bow kill I had and of me shooting it with my baby in a backpack. It was a great bow and I was reluctant to give it up but Ontario Longbow wanted it so bad I said I would part with it and replace it with a Cheetah. Well now I have a Cheetah that I love but I still miss my Longbowman's Choice. It is a great bow but I am glad it has a good home and the possibility of more great adventures.
