Another Keeper from JD Berry
« on: April 08, 2015, 09:20:00 PM »
I posted this on the "Hill Thread" but thought y'all would like to have look...


Hello from michigan...

I received a nice long and slender cardboard package in the mail a couple days ago from James Berry.

Previous experience told me it was gonna be a good one and….and I was not disappointed!

She is a Vixen. 66” and 40# @27”. Limbs have a core of amber bamboo covered back and belly with a very dark brown glass.

The riser is made of Pink Ivory, the other half of the block from which James built his Vixen, “Miss Pinky”.

Riser encasements are blond bamboo and what appears to be end-grain Pink Ivory.

WOW!  Tony that is gorgeous!   When you get time I would be very interested how you decided on the Vixen over his other great bows.  That's why I could never get on his build list, I cant choose.

Outstanding!  Enjoy the new Vixen!  I'm sure it shoots as good as it looks.

Kevin,
Choose them all!   I caught the Berry Bug when shooting the Misty Dawn that Moots sold.  That one was a bit too heavy for me but started the ball rolling....

I visited Mudd for a weekend of fun and had the chance to shoot his Vixen.  Very crisp for the poundage with a delicate feel on release.

Tony,  Way to go, just what you wanted, and a beauty at that.  James builds a great bow for sure, and it will be a shooter! Best to you, Bob

What a beauty combo!

Dark Brown glass is right, I thought it was black. Gorgeous Art Vincent back quiver stove full of arrows. That first pic says it all.

Absolutely amazing bow you got there. The OE Berrys are just something to marvel at for sure. Congrats.

And that is the tuxedo of back quivers there, something to be brought out with the good silverware
