Think I'm gonna like this Taipan
« on: May 08, 2015, 10:53:00 PM »
With a lull in the rain this afternoon, I was able to take my new to me Berry Taipan to the backyard targets and give it a try.  The design, fit and finish are excellent.  60" and 47 lb at my 26", it should be a pretty good fit.  The forward handle and belly mounted lams make it feel very stable in the draw and shot and it is very quick.  Best of all it shoots really well.  This is my first J.D. Berry and I'm impressed.  Here are my first four arrows; about 12 yards.  Thanks Steve!

They are sweet shooting bows,I love shooting my Taipan.I like a reverse handle bow,I feel it helps accuracy and harder to torque.JD Berry makes some nice bows and good looking bows.Had a Yaweh a few years back,multiple woods and just a beautiful bow!

The taipan is my hands down favorite bow of all times.
My 94 model is my go to for everything from tournaments to hunting.

I have a newer , longer one also that is a dream to shoot.

Enjoy

Thanks guys!  The forward riser design always made sense to me and I'd been waiting on a Taipan to show up in the classifieds for quite a while.  I sold another bow to get the funds and will be shooting this one a lot more than the one I sold.  I need to be thinning down my herd, but I think I'll be keeping this one for a while.  Now I just need to find the right Robertson.

My Taipan is my favorite James Berry bow - right next to my Serpentine.  Of course mine has Bamboo cores so it is a little better then Brian's  :)
