Taipan by JD Berry
« on: September 16, 2013, 04:25:00 PM »
Hi  I received a Taipan in the mail today,just one week since I sent it to James Berry to be refinished. Anyone who knows Mr Berry will not be surprised at the great job he did. The bow looks like new and shoots every arrow, wood,carbon or aluminium where Im pointing. He told me that the woods used were elm and yew on the limbs and bocote and cocobolo in the riser. I would post pics if I could figure how. I guess I have to get a bucket site or something like that to put pics up.  Thanks George Hill

Well, figure out how to post pics for goodness sakes LOL!  I'd like to see it.  I'm thinking a Berry bow might move to first in line on my wish list.

As my signature shows I'm a fan of Berry bows.  I've not had the pleasure of shooting his r/d bows but his straightlimbed bows are fantastic. James is a pleasure to talk to and his bows exceed all expectations in appearance AND performance.
If you email me the pics I can post them up for you.

I sent Mr Hill  pm on the day he posted his thread giving him my e-mail address with the offer to post pictures for him.

I just hope that everything is ok with Mr Hill.

God bless,Mudd

Hi  The wood used in the limbs are yew as a core wood and elm on the back and belly. In the riser there is bocote and cocobolo. And of course a big application of golden retriever. Just in passing I would thank Brian for helping out and posting these pictures for me. Also thanks to 'Mudd' for offering to put pics up for me. There are a lot of good people on this site.  Thanks George Hill
