I typicaly shoot my Misty Dawn, my moose hunting bow, or my lighter weight NM Classic or Dave Johnson when I want to work on my form. I rarely shoot the Morning Star that I got from Ralph Harris.
However, after reading all the posts about the new Morning Stars James is selling, I figured I should give mine some range time:

This is a 5-shot group from 20 yards. The previous group was nearly as good, with one busted nock. Talk about a confidence builder!

Well Chuck
I take it she was showing you what you have been missing out on
-
Maybe you have a new Moose bow???? :thumbsup:
-
Nice shooting. I have never owned a forward handle. Hill Style?
-
Ron: I'd take her moose hunting, but she's 2#'s under the 50# minimum.
KYArcher: It is a Hill style made by James Berry.
-
Oh man.........2#'s.......that's a shame, but good thing you have back up bows....lol!
-
Yep....James' bows don't shoot well. They're downright homely looking too. Somebody needs to talk to him about these aspects of his bow building so maybe one day he'll have a career doing this and not just raising dogs. :goldtooth:
-
Man oh man.... How do you "forget" a bow like that and that shoots that nice :)
-
Mr. Puka beads, Think I will send Ric O Sly over to show you, what a real TEXEN is. lol ..OE
-
PS. Tim King will work well also.
-
I shoot the Misty Dawn well enough to nail a moose. I just need to catch up with one of the varmits!
-
nice shooting! not to state what i'm sure you're already aware of...but is it 48 pounds at 28"? or...48# at your draw length? I have gorilla length arms so my bows are usually 7 or 8 pounds heavier at my draw length than at 28...makes it tough to get arrows stiff enough! I can barely get 340's short enough to tune with my "45#" recurve
-
It is 48#@28", which is close to what I draw.
