My new "Old Man's" Vixen
« on: December 04, 2014, 01:43:00 PM »
Most everyone in their life experiences the need to drop down in draw weight with their bows. I'm no exception. I've sold a few of my heavier bows to folks that I know will enjoy them as much as I did.

That said, James Berry has (I think) done well to sooth this old man's ego. My new 46# Vixen arrived yesterday and let me tell you, performance wise, it will not and does not take a back seat to any 55# I've ever had. Looks pretty sharp besides.

Brown glass on the back, clear glass over sister yew laminations on the belly, bamboo core with an exposed rosewood riser. Eye candy follows:

Now I know what combo my Morningstar is going to have when my name comes up on JD's list. I was thinking brown glass and yew, this confirms it! Very nice!!

Danny,
Your not lying, James absolutely nailed this bow. It is so sleek, dark, and classy.
Man I'm jealous! I should have a new vixen arriving shortly and now I'm even more stoked

That's a "good looken" bow there Danny. Yew is one of my favorites. Nothing wrong with lighter lbs, just means you can shoot longer with out getting tired.

Thats gorgeous! And 46# sure isn't backing down too much. I really like that wood combo as well. I can't wait to see your results from shooting it!

Welcome to the club. It sure beats shooting less.

And what a beautiful bow. My Morningstar (same weight) is absolutely the quietest bow I have ever shot, and most of mine are pretty darned quiet.
