My new JD Berry Argos!
« on: March 13, 2015, 04:18:00 PM »
Just over 2 weeks ago, I got my new JD Berry Argos! Sorry, I wanted to post sooner, but I have been out of town quite a bit, lost the camera USB cable, and had to get an art piece ready for a show.

 It is beautiful in a simple, sleek, elegant way.  Black glass back and belly, with a wenge riser, bloodwood encasements or wedges, with wenge(?) encasements (Maybe James will correct me).  I work with wood on the side, and James is a master in many ways, including combining woods into art.
I am new to longbows, but I love this bow.  It is so smooth drawing, no hand shock, and very fast (I guess I am repeating what virtually every Berry bow owner says).  It shoots better than I do. Being new to longbows, I am not consistent yet, but hope to be soon.

Sorry, I can't seem to get the images to transfer from photobucket.  Will try later, got to get back to work.

Is that the locator grip?

It is beautiful!! My pictures do not do it justice, as I am not a photographer.

James, did I get the encasements correct?

I think I am going to name her, "Ele  Tigre".  I know that is not quite correct in Spanish, but the "Ele" is for her elegance, and "Tigre" is for how deadly she will be when I can shoot her well.  She really puts the arrow downrange fast.

She is awesome.
