Got a long, skinny package from JD Berry
« on: May 12, 2015, 04:13:00 PM »
Always nice when the post gal shows up at my front door with long  skinny packages, and this was no exception. Inside was an all yew Morning Star, 55@28. Didn't take me long to string it up, tie on a nock, and head to the hills. I think I will keep it.
 
Shooting stars are some of the first flowers to poke out in the spring around here, and I believe that I will be calling this bow the Shooting Star. It certainly does shoot.
 

I love how yew looks, and this bow is so quiet that it won't need  string silencers.

 
James promised that he would include his new laser sight, but it seems to be off a bit. However, this dandelion was shot at from a 30 pace uphill, so it is pretty close. Just a bit more tweaking and it should be dead on.
Once again, OE has built a bow that is good on the eye and shoots like crazy. I hope to spend lots of quality time with it in the future.

Pat, that's a beauty for sure. Congratulations.  I love my Northstar from OE too.  He's figured out the reverse handle ASL build for sure.     :thumbsup:

Beautiful work as always James!

Looks like a great bow, some great shooting, and an even better backdrop. Life truly doesn't get much better than that.

Good luck on the Bear hunt in a few weeks Pat. For some strange reason, I don't think your going to need that laser.(there is a reason I call you SGT. York)
  After a long time looking I got some Red and Grey Gorden glass coming in. Time to go really ol school.  ..OE

I've got a Vixen that OE made me with yew laminations and one bamboo in the back. Beauty!! Yew is one of my favorites right up there with bamboo.

Just feels and looks like a bow should.

The MorningStar is my hands down favorite ASL OF ALL TIMES!! the reverse handle bows have taken me bad , ever since I got my first MS. To the point that I do not own a standard riser bow anymore. It's either a reverse handle like the MS AND the taipan.

Just something about them that I love

Great looking bow there Pat!! James nailed it
