I got her dialed in pretty good for not doing much to her yet
 

26 yds
 

Ill need to play with BH just a touch to remove a little wobble but she's a keeper for sure

[JDBerry]

Brain, you need to work on your 26 yd. shots...lol

[Ric O'Shay]

I'm with you JD. If your feathers ain't touchin', you ain't shootin'!!!      

Here's 5 @ 25yds.

   

   

[Brianlocal3]

Is that the best you can do Danny!!!!!  I see some feather not touching. Ha ha.

Good shooting

[Ric O'Shay]

13 minutes.....that didn't take long! I just tried to call JD and his phone was busy. Was that you Brian?

[Brianlocal3]

Not me. I'm playing daddy day care. In between getting beat up by a 4 and 2 year old hunting dinosaurs I check in

[Rick Moss]

beautiful bow, I am loving the string too...almost said stringS, not used to only one string, lol. great looking bow, and amazing craftsmanship!

[Shawn Rackley]

great lookin bow brian. im sure it shoots great. havent shot a bad berry yet. (and i have shot alot of em) i love my vixen. have had it for several years now. in my experience Mr.Berry builds one of the nicest bows out there. both in appearance and shooting characteristics.   just something about those narrow lines and that deep trapezoid core really sets his bows appart from the rest.

Sure is Purdy!!!

At 26 yards I ruin my arrows, so I always move back to 40 yards.

I just received my new Morningstar on Wednesday.
Never owned a straight grip bow so it was completely foreign to me. Not sure how I should grip it I shot it like I would my locater style grip and was completely amazed how accurate I could shoot.
The bow has a Bubinga riser with bamboo laminations under brown glass. Just a very nice looking bow.
It is so quiet all you hear is the arrow going over the rest, virtually no bow noise at all.
Bow is 66" 48#'s @ 28".
One other thing that surprised me was tuning and what arrows would fly out of a bow that was not center cut.
I bare shafted 2018's, 2016's, 150 carbon express, 35/55 gold tips, 2000 vapors and 60-65# cedars and they all flew well. Some completely perfect, the 2018's came out very slightly nock right but with the feather shaft flew perfect.
Pretty happy with the bow.

Ken,
That is great to hear, not surprising    though. As far as grip goes, keep doing what your doing, it seems to be working.

All of my Berrys see to be very forgiving of form and spine and definelty have built in shotability!!!!

Post up some pics when you can.

[Builder]

Brian,
Not sure how to post pics on this site, I have never done it.
I had James pic the combination on the woods, brown glass and Bubinga and it came out nice.
I wasn't trying to steal your thread but since you were a factor of my decision to purchase one of these from your previous threads I decided to post.
Thanks.
Ken

Ken,
No stealing seen here!! I say speak away.  Glad to know I didn't steer someone in the wrong direction  

[Paul_R]

These are nice bows, congrats! I see you have a Misty Dawn as well. I just got one myself and I'm seriously impressed with it.

[Brianlocal3]

Paul,
Yes I have a misty dawn as well. It's actually my form/3D bow, that girl won 2nd 4 tourneys in a row kept getting beat by the same guy:) and I don't mind losing to friends!!!

I also own another vixen, a Morningstar and a Northstar..... I love my berry bows
