Ooooo, that's a nice one Brian.  Yew outdid yourself this time, esWesley on your choice of bow designs.  Can't go wrong with those Hill-styles, they're ALMOST as nice as a Hill.      :biglaugh:    

P.S.  Good shootin' on the bale, but what can you do beyond 5 yards?      :laughing:    

Best!

To are correct Pete, it is very smooth. And James only offers wedges in the Misty Dawn and Vixen, and I prefer it also thank you.

That's interesting Shawn. Thanks for letting me know

Very nice, Brian!

If you had to let one of your Berry's go, which one would it be?

I need to rattle James' cage to see when mine hits the forms!

If I absolutly had to, no way around it...it would be the misty dawn and the reason for that is I prefer and always have preferred reflexed over string follow .

So that settles it! You don't like the Misty Dawn! How much you want for it?

Just kidding! I may have to get a Vixen just so I can compare the two myself.

I'll tell it to you like this. I'll keep both of these because they fit me perfect, string follows have a softer draw and the release feels different than a backset bow, both of which are good qualities just qualities that I actually don't prefer. I like the stiffer draw from the backset bows. I preferred my NM classic over the Shelton.
