@ Brian - yep it took some arm twisting and some extra $s to get this bow built   :)    James out did himself on this one.  The craftsmanship and quality of this bow just cannot be seen in the pictures.  I still have not got to play wiht it much but I am totally impressed with how easy if sends a heavy arrow down range with authority.  I have owned and shot a few Berry bows for last several decades - but this one is without a doubt the best one I have shot - and that includes my Serpentine which I will never sale.

Another masterpiece by the master...... I have a taipan scheduled for next year and will get on the list for a Morning Star. I've no idea on the woods I'll go with and will probably let James decide. These Berry threads have me going back and forth on choices... ;)

Is that the dished grip?  I am interested in a Taipan, but have only shot recurves, so was leaning toward something besides a straight grip.

Heck I don't know I told James to make me a shooter and I think he understands my shooting ability (or lack there of) better than I do.  This bow really impresses me how dang quick it is.  And man does it have a knack at pointing where I want to hit.  I am not playing wiht it much as I have a big hunt coming up in Nov and I've got my Thunderhorn dialed in as I will be flying and it is just easier with a takedown.
