Mr. Morrison, I would like to thank you for your generosity.  Circa 2003/2004 I was shopping for a new longbow, I called and we talked.  You loaned me your back-up bow to try out.  I was vacillating between your bow, Jeff Massie's and Jim Reynolds.  I eventually went with Jim's bow, but it was a tough chose.  I had my son randomly hand bows to me and I shot blind into a large target.  I'll not soon forget your generosity.  Welcome back for the fire.

Nice to see you here again, Bob.  I've owned a couple of your bows over the years, which have all been top-notch.  What have you been up to since retiring?

Morrison Archery was a buzz here for years and years.  Since you sold out Bob you wouldn't even know they were in business. I miss your posts for sure.  :campfire:

I know. Only 2 models, and Max6 limbs. I always had fun making different types of bow 1 pc. 2 pc. 3 pc. and always trying to improve on our designs. I still keep play with what I got left. I'll be hunting with Shawnee Longbow this year. and a 52" Max6 limbs in ground blinds.

Bob glad to see you back.
You made a Cheyenne recurve for me back in 1995. It was 60"amo and 60#@28".  Great shooting bow. It killed a few bucks for me.
Title: Re: returning TG
Post by: MCNSC on September 15, 2022, 05:24:54 PM
Had one of your recurves years ago, I shot my first few traditional archery deer with it. I still remember it being a sweet shooting bow, and I could sit in a stand and admire that bow to pass the time. I can’t for the life of me remember why I ever parted with it.
Welcome back.

Season opened in Missouri today.  I was sitting in a tree stand this evening thinking about how you are doing and the awesome recurve you built for me years ago.

Hi Bob,  It's good to see your name pop up again. A lifetime ago I owned a few of your bows that, while I wish I still had, I wouldn't be able to pull today.  Glad to see you posting and hope you are well.
Title: Re: returning TG
Post by: Bob Morrison on September 18, 2022, 10:10:03 AM
Hi Phil, I still have a few of the original bows. I have 2 setup for hunting this year. One is and old Shawnee its about 40# @26" longbow limbs. Shoots a 600 VAP shaft with 300gr point really good. Bare shaft tuned. I plan on hunting with this bow. Ground blinds I have a 52" Max6 limbs 500 VAP with 300gr points. I plan on shooting a glove 2 finger. Arthritis may change that if it does I will use a release. Like everyone else I'm looking forward to next Saturday opening day here in Ohio.

Bob,

It is so very good to see your name!  Brings back a lot of fond memories of earlier days.

My hunting bow today is still the Cheyenne riser you built for me that fits my hand like no other ever has.  I got it with 47"@29" limbs when MS robbed me of the strength to pull my 63# Jerry Pierce Choctaw, but as even that became a challenge I had it retrofitted to accept a set of 43# Max 6s.  It is an amazing bow that has kept me hunting.

Thanks for all you have done for me, and for our sport!

Daryl

Wow, remember that ACS that you told me that you made for you, 51@26”? The one that you put canebrakes on for me? I shot it three weeks ago. My carpal tunnel has not given me a break since.  :banghead:

The Cheyenne you made for me got cuddled by my friends the week before that.  :archer: One wanted to buy it from me.  :saywhat: :nono: Still so sweet and steady! But I can’t shoot a bow until my medial nerve forgets its outrage.

I can’t remember the actual bows but I do remember the the shoots after seeing the pics. I also remember the young guy building bows and proud for those who received them. Getting harder to remember, pictures do help.

Dammit. Now I gotta fire up the desktop where most of my pics are. This may take a week.

These posted pics are at Baltimore, 2006-ish.

Bernie and I also were graced by your presence  :laughing: at ATAR at Stephens Lake in Beckley, WV. I bought Bernie Dunn’s ACS that you worked on. That ATAR was a hoot, with Dano, Bernie, Pat B, Chuck Sinclaire and a host of others whom I would like to name but it is past sleepytime for me as I get up at 4:30.

I have only been able to hunt 3 days so far. 2nd trip out I had a slip (Tree stand slipped about a foot) it took a lot of staining to get back into hunting position. hunted the next evening no problems. next day both shoulders sore real sore also back spasms. I hope to get out next week. Golden years my A$$.

Nice thread for sure. Bob you build a custom Cheyenne for me some years back. And I have an older Dakota II  picked up up somewhere years ago I don't even remember.  I'm going to send you a private message with questions about that longbow if you don't mind. Please check when you can. Thanks, good to see you here.

Bob,
I remember when I was looking at the new R/D longbows and you sent me your backup bow to try out.  Ended up going with Jim Reynolds, but really liked your bow.
