Hello Yohon:  just wondering what you have your brace height set at?  HHA bows are usually braced at 6.5"  It looks as though yours is much higher.  Maybe it's just the perspective of the photo.

Best wishes,
Frank

JD Berry's newest creation is called Valor; forward handle ASL that is typical of OE's quality. It has taken two turkeys since I have had it. 68 inches,58#@28, boo limbs and zebrawood riser, with brown glass back and gray glass belly. It's a smooth, quiet and shockfree shooter.
The mad bowyer continues to create awesome bows.

Love the looks of that bow Pat. I like that it doesn't look like it's strung backwards. My favorite bowyer for sure and just a hell of a guy.

I got out this morning with my Morningstar for awhile. No deer cooperated but it was a good day. A good day, but cold. I lasted about two hours on stand.

I should have taken my Heater Body Suit, but I was looking for sign and just ended up in one of my older ladderstand sites.

Is Dave Johnson still making his Cedar bows?  I ordered one from him 5-6 years ago when he came out of retirement.  I have been out of the scene for a while and curious.  It's a nice bow.  I was looking at the bow the other day and wondered how he was doing.  He seemed like a really nice guy.

The grip appears different than your other Berry bows.  Dished?  which do you like better?

I am jealous of those turkeys.  The turkeys have seemed to have died off in the areas I hunt. I have seen one hen with her young twice, they have gone from 6 down to just 3. something is killing our turkeys to a point where I do not feel they are at a sustainable population to allow hunting. Nice looking bow, I bet that cradle grip reverse grip is very forgiving.

Gary, I wasn't sure about the grip at first, but it has grown on me. It feels very natural and as Pavan says, it is very forgiving.
Pavan, we are fortunate to have lots of turkeys, and I am happy to cull the flocks from time to time. They are great fun and a great challenge to stalk.

I have never shot a LB....never even held one...but with all the active LB related threads I found myself reading this one backwards until I said what the heck and started from page 1. Up to pg 55 now including detours for Charlie Lamb's blood tree buck and several bowyers' websites.

I don't know what I'm missing but know I'm missing something. Not quite a bite yet but feel something crawling up my leg!     :dunno:

I tried a Hill bow once.......now I have 8 I think. Just a whole bunch of fun to shoot.
