New JD Berry bow
« on: August 12, 2009, 08:36:00 AM »
Well this goes back some time. Molson and I have always been on JD to build a plain Jane hunting bow.   Well I got my wish about a week ago.  This bow is Osage and cocobolo. 66in long and 60 @28.  I told JD I needed a good bow for muley deer in 2010.  The cast on this bow is impressive. The bow is his new line called the "AROGOS"          Buffalo horn tips

That's a looker!  I've always been partial to simple, yet elegant longbows.  Some are just too busy looking for my tastes.

Sure is a sweet shooter. 'Bout time he built something with Osage!   :thumbsup:

I bet she shoots as good as she looks.
I had a Berry bow a few years back; it was a sweet shooter also, had to give it up for a ligher weight bow.

Excellent combination of woods A k9!

I like a good contrast between the riser and the lams, and osage with cocobolo is *always* nice!

Shoot straight, Shinken

My son and I meet JD back in July of this year. He showed us a couple of bows that he made. They sure are sweet. He let us shoot one of them he said was a "Proto" for a new one he was coming out with. I really liked it so I bought it. It looks like the one in your pictires.

M1, It is the same style bow. JD told me he sold that bow.  But I thought he sold it out of his shop.
