This isn't making my wait for my Taipan any easier.  I still have a couple months or more wait. Thanks for the pics, though!   :jumper:

I've got a Taipan that James just reduced the weight and refinished for me-born 1996 for use on a safari, that according to James was used to make a one shot kill on a lion.  Was 64" 61@28 1/2, now 54@28.  Original owner had a strip of fiberglass added in core of limb to provide a "harder" shooting bow-limbs are cocobolo over core of osage and bamboo, riser coco and osage.  Killed my biggest buck to date with this bow back in 2009.

LOL - true enough, Brian (although you are right there with me).  

I'm kind of ruined. Take it as a cautionary tale guys - don't let that Berry Bug bite or you too will spend your days on that waiting list and trying to decide which bow to pull off of the rack to hunt with!

My other Berry is a Yaweh, 64" 58@28.  I used to have a Renaisance, a Viper, and another Yaweh, but decided I needed to thin the herd and got rid of them.  Now I have way more bows than I did when I got rid of my other Berry's.  Therefore, using my deductive reasoning, had I kept those Berry's, I wouldn't have as many bow as I have now, so it must be James' fault I have so many bows.  Yeah, it's James' fault (at least that what I'm telling the wife)!!!

My Yaweh.

Wish I could tell you the story behind the "cockroach" on James' bows. But, that might offend another sponsor on this site.     :saywhat:    :bigsmyl:    

So, if you really want to know, gotta call James.
