Title: New Berry Morning Star!
Post by: Bob B. on June 19, 2015, 01:22:00 PM
Well, it has been a while since I have posted here, but I thought I would share a few pics of the latest bow in my stable. As many of you know, I like a plain hunting bow, nothing fancy, just a plain hard working hunting bow.  The bow is brown back, white belly, tempered boo cores, a real nice figured myrtle riser - that is it.  The bow is 68 inches long and 55 pounds at 29 inches of draw.

Boy Howdy does she draw smooth and the performance is surprising, it is so smooth, quiet and all with excellent cast.  It is hard to say what I like more, my Misty Dawn or my new Morning Star.  As James and I have discussed, they both have their merits.  In any event, this bow is just fun to shoot and will be a treasured hunter to be sure.  I hope you like the pics, she shoots a lot better than she looks, but to me a simple plain hunting bow is pure beauty.

James scores a bulls-eye with me again on this one!

Bob, I'm like you, a plain bow for hunting; but it's hard to call James' bows plain.
I'm on the list for a carbon copy of your bow; 52#@28; I'm undecided on 66 or 68" at this point in time.  Good luck.

Nice bow! I use a simular quiver. Nothing wrong with the looks but bows are ment to be shot not looked at. James bows are shooters!

Great looking bow there bud!!!!
The MorningStar is my favorite ASL of all times. Mine is beat up, abused and shot more arrows than any bow should be made to shoot and it's as good as day one!!! Just amazing.
I love the classic look!!

Great job Mr Berry!!

If yours is anything like mine, it will earn some scars from being carried through blowdowns and other stuff that give character to bows that are made to hunt. Congrats on another JD beauty.
