Glad to have helped Linwood. I think the pics may have caused others, including myself, to look closer at Jet bows.

Late in looking on this thread but I have to comment on that beautiful Yew over boo on your Jet Warthog, Linwood!  Love that yew wood... my personal favorite.  That is a pretty bow.

Tim, have fun with that NorthStar.

Thanks guys - yea, I think it's pretty!  Joel did a great job on it!  I'm ENJOYING shooting it - you should see the bunch of stumps I've harvested!  pulling the arrow out of one, I glanced up and saw this big ol' gobbler staring at me about 30 yds away.  Of course, as soon as I nocked an arrow that bird took OFF.  He missed me by a mile!  I'll try to get better pics after Christmas, maybe with a four hoofed critter in the pic.  As I mentioned above, this bow is fast!

Hey Blaine, I'll have mine at the hog hunt next month. Bring arrows and shoot it all you want. It's the yew string follow, RH 69" 51@29.

Now it's time to go climb a tree, Merry Christmas everyone!

I have a JET Leopard and really enjoy it.  A lot of fun to shoot.  There is something about that bow.  It is different from the other Hill style bows that I own.  Can't really put my finger on it.

Monday, a bit of a sore throat. Tuesday, a bad sore throat. Wednesday, the Niagra Falls of all noses. Thursday, nose dried up, sore throat gone, right bronchial plugging up. Friday, just a bit tired, no major symptoms at all, its nice out. Should I be on here or out trying to shoot a doe?  Will this thread still be going when my Morningstar arrives in the spring? Will I find any deer after the gun season wreaked its havoc? Maybe I could just grab a bow and take a ride and see what is out there, I don't need to commit to anything. Waiting for new bows is harder than people think.

I hear you on waiting for bows, closer the time gets the harder it is.

Still on the fence between the Morning Star and North Star, anyone have/shot both and could post there thoughts? I am on JD's build list but have some time to go AARRGG.   :help:  

Mudd, a direct hit I would say.    :thumbsup:

Pavan,
Get in the woods!!!!!!!! You can be sick when the sun goes down  :)


Katman,
I own both the Morningstar and the Northstar. It's not a fair comparison on my side as the MS is 68" and 50@26 and the NS is 62" and 54@26 BUT they are both AWSOME.

What it will boil down to is if you prefer backset or stringfollow. Myself, I'm a backset fan. I like the feel on draw and release a little better, the Northstar is softer at the beginning of the draw and softer on release. They both handle and shoot great.  The stringfollow is easier to string  :) .

I would trade either.  The Northstar was ordered for some of my tighter hunting areas and the Morningstar is my everything from hunting to 3D to indoor 300 bow.

Well its official. I finally quit my job yesterday  YES!!!!!!!!

To much traveling for this family man.  I have my new job scheduled to start in the next few weeks back home so I am taking some well needed family time this weekend. Monday the kids are back to school and mama is working so I will be wondering around the woods for the first time in 2 seasons.

the JD Berry Morningstar has be selected as starting lineup and if all  goes well I may be able to put some fur on the ground. If not, then the solitude of the woods with my straightlimbed bow will be reward enough.  

Took some shots this morning with my broad heads and were looking spot on out to 30 so all that awaits is a critter who deaf and blind to let me get close enough.

Exactly what I was looking for Pavan, thanks so much. Keep them coming guys/gals. I think you meant would NOT trade either.

So the northstar can be had in a shorter length than the morning star and still be a stable shooter without finger pinch?

JD and I will talk this over since I draw 29. Need to find some to shoot.

Dang Pavan, me too! Little better today, gonna hit it for a few hours this evening, and tomorrow. Running short now, but no regrets. I've spent more time in the woods this year than in many past, and I've soaked up some valuable time with my family too. Dry year, but an oh so rewarding one.

Katman,
James specifically designed the Northstar for people wanting to shoot straightlimbed bows and maintain the balance point ability smoothness etc that we all love in this style but want them shorter for right quarters and tree stands,

Well I'm hear to say he nailed it
