New JD Berry Taipan!!

[BHall]

I received my new JD Berry Taipan last week.  It is 68" 49#@31".  Macassar Ebony handle, bocote veneers back and belly, bamboo core, with bloodwood and white bamboo accents.  It's a fabulous bow.  I took some pictures and attempted to upload a couple videos (links at bottom of thread)  Not sure if I did these right.  I must have b/c some little squirt posted a comment that I sucked…I immediately disabled those, lol.  I'm a little out of form on shooting due to an injury so take it easy on me!  I'm shooting Carbon Express Heritage 150's 31.5" 515gr.

James Berry called me Sunday to find out how I like my bow.  We talked for over 30 minutes.  He really loves his craft and takes great pride in his work.  I'm really happy with the Taipan!  It is incredibly smooth and a pleasure to shoot.

Bryan, what a beautiful bow!  Thanks for posting.  I'm pretty excited because I am on JD Berry's list for a new Taipan.  James is a talented bowyer and fine guy who really cares about his craft.

Wonderful bow Bryan.  All of James's bows are top notch from his straightlimbed to duo-flex but I have to say the reverse handle bows have stole n the spot light for me. And specifically the taipan has rocketed straight to the top at my house.   The taipan has literally everything you could possibly want in a bow and all others just seem to be fighting for top spot.
