I would recommend the JD Berry. I recently picked up a wonderful Morningstar, and it's quieter, lighter, quicker, etc. than any of my other bows. JD's a fantastic guy to work with, and he's got great prices, too. I'm more accurate with my Morningstar than even my Bowtech Specialist compound with a sight and release, which I think should say something (even though I am more of a traditional longbow archer than a compound archer).
I know you're not looking at a Morningstar in particular, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of JD's bows. I've done a large amount of research, compiled a list of longbow makers that's the largest I've found on the internet (griffonvulture on another archery forum), and checked out even more bowyers since compiling that list, and JD's my choice, at least until I start making my own
. Choosing a bow is of course a very personal thing, though, so "your miles may vary", as they say.
I'm working on a website now where I'll include a nice video and pics evidencing how nice JD's creations are. I'll likely post on tradgang when it's up.
Have a good one and happy shopping!
