Brand New JD Berry forward handle Taipan Accuracy Pics
« on: April 08, 2009, 06:13:00 PM »
I finally got my first custom longbow from James Berry today. It is a true work of art. Details are amazing from tip to tip. James is just great to work with. It is 62" long and 53#@28. It has a yew core.The riser is african wenge and black locust with actionwood highlights that kind of change color in the light. It has zebrawood, fire cocobolo and one or two other woods that I can't remember. Just absolutely gorgeous bow. I couldn't be happier with the details and the quality of work.

What an ugly bow, you should send it up to the Mohawk Valley to be disposed of correctly...lol! I can do that for you. Really, that is a real good looker and I hope you enjoy it. Maybe it will make it up to the Adks. this fall. Take care and good shooting....ron w

Just got done shooting it. Draws smooth, shoots fast and surprisingly quiet. Possibly the quietest bow I have. A lot of bow for the money!  :goldtooth:

What's something like that cost? If this is an improper question or makes you all feel uncomfortable, let me know. Thanks.

Nice looking bow Brian. I take it is a great shooter!
Currently I'm working out a new idea for a new form/model with a recessed handle.
