Pat, Blaine and Ryan congrats on shooting with the whisper quiet weapon of choice.  A lot of practice and concentration resulted in great deer to feed the family.

Nice Ryan. I'm gonna have to go back and read your other thread now.

Well I have ANOTHER JD Berry vixen heading my way. This time it will have bamboo cores, even though bamboo is my least favorite core material James swears I will like it in his design. Ill post pics when its here!!!

Brian ... bamboo!!??!!??!!  Wow, that is trust man!        

I believe in JD as well, but how many times have talked about how you do not like bamboo?       I am dying to hear what you think of this one.  I guess if anyone can make you a boo believer, JD is the man.

Good luck buddy ... post pics with a very complete review!

Bob.

I second what Bob says - you must place some faith in JD Brian! I hope this bow makes you a convert - boo is just SO sweet.

Just an inquiry Brian, what are your preferred core materials? I have one all yew Hill, but the rest are boo cored. I'm looking to purchase another Hill style, and I'm open minded!

Thanks

Tim

Ron, yeah he still gets after them - not spending any time in trees anymore at 75 yrs old, but he kills a good'un or two every year from the ground.  He won't shoot anything under 5 1/2 yrs old anymore.

Well I got my Wesley a week or 2 ago and I really like it......so one of the offers I had when looking was a Hill Owl, brown glass on the back and Osage on the belly under clear glass, 70" 45# @ 29". I thought on it for a bit and said what the heck..........it gets shipped to me on Wednesday. I'm sucker for brown glass and Osage.....lol!

Give us a review on that Owl Ron. Looking forward to what you think of it. Sounds like a really pertty one!

Congrats Ron

Ryan, Centaur, Blano, You guys rock. Congrats to some great harvests with the Hill bows. How cool is that? Way.......Man.......Way!! ( don't sound 54 do I ) Oh well, what can I say, I got excited!          

I didn't realize you didn't like the bamboo, Brian.  I would love to hear your take on that.  All of my bows have boo cores but the Taipan... all yew - but she is old - built in 2000.

Just curious. Thanks!

PS nice buck, Blaino!

I shot this little guy on Nov. 11th at 4:15 in the evening. He was at 22yards and had a 30 yard recovery. Another kill for my David Miller Old Tom, with a Cedar arrow and a Bear Greenie.

Bob,
Oh I know we have talked alot about me and the bamboo buzz I'm not found of, but what can I say I'm a Berry holic and ill take any I can fine ha.

Far rider,
My preferred cores are at the top of the list red elm and American elm. Honestly I love the feel of the two action wood cored bows I've owned. Hard rock maple is hard to beat for me just a little plain looking even under colored glass.  I talked James into making my last bow of his (Northstar) with all yew limbs and really like it too.

Me and boo have just never gotten along at the release. Some twangy type feel that I don't get from the wood cored bows. I'm really interested in getting a black walnut cored bow sometime.

Brian, I am betting your new Berry bow will be freaking awesome!!  As for me, I have become an Osage fanatic.  My Miller old Sage and the Chuck Jones Osage Royale are just so damn beautiful, and good shooters that feel so good in the hand.  The Osage Royale must not know it is a string follow bow because it flat out launches an arrow and is super quiet ... with the mildest of thumps at the end of the power stroke.  That is with a 5 1/2 inch brace height.  If I use a 6 inch Brace Height, it is nearly dead in the hand.  I am moving from boo to Osage I guess ... who does that?!?!

I look forward to a bow report Brian.  Good on ya buddy.

Bob.

Nice job Tom!

Nice job Tom, not always easy killing those WV bucks. Swirling winds make it tough. Congrats  

Bob,
I have wanted to drive up the street and go try one of Chucks Osage royals , just haven't had the time. Heck I was 2 miles from his shop on Sunday working.

I DID own the HHA crocodile (all Osage) and while it was stunning , it had the most Handshock of any bow I've owned. BUT you and Mudd really like the Osage royal hence my insistence on trying one

Shhhhhhhhhhs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob, you and Brian need to stop it!!!!

We should keep some things secret....lol

Chuck Jones might still be coerced with kind words and "dead presidential pictures" printed on green "paper-like" material into building another Osage Royale....lol

If we tell the world what they've been missing out on with the Osage Royale, Chuck will start falling behind on his "builds" because the orders might start pouring in.......lol

When I got mine, I bought it as my "old-age" bow.

It's only 43@28 and also serves as my training bow to keep "my form" where it needs to be so when whatever bow I shoot afterwards is more likely to hit what I want.

 

 

 

 

 

 



I really hope I have improved in my shooting form since this one was made...lol (click on it)

 

God bless,Mudd
