I just received my Morrison Cheyenne, today. Bought here as a second hander, I violated Doctor's Orders (& The Wife's stern looks) & took it outside for a play. First impression is that it feels very very similar to my Beloved Horne (Cold, dead fingers....) as far as the grip goes. Weight is very similar also & remarkably light for a 'curve.
So, new string fitted, brace set at 6-3/4", nock point at 5/8...lets rock!
Sooooo smooth to shoot! The draw is like silk, possibly down to the long limbs/short riser arrangement ('A' riser, 'D' limbs giving a 60" bow) Handshock is as I'd expected; non existent. There's a little bit of string-slap to the limbs that I'm not used to, being a longbow shooter, but I think I'll be OK with it, if not a little wool should quieten things down a touch.
Best of all, she shoots right where I'm looking, out to 30yds! After that I run out of garden.
A little eye-candy ;) .....

Now I've just got to wait for my next Morry to arrive (in a couple of days!)
I think I may be converted.....
Looking good Rob!! Those Morrisons are shooters for sure. Not to mention lookers!!
The Morrisons have well deserved, great reputations. That's a beauty.
Nice bow Rob!
Yup yup...you converted now bro. Wait till you shoot the foam/carbon longbow limbs :readit:
George, that's high praise indeed from a guy that has seen as many bows come and go as you have (not a dig at your age but a tip of the hat to your experience).
These bows are really starting to call my name. Good purchase Rob! Grant

Resistance is futile.

Rob,
I'm glad the bow made it OK. I'm also glad you like it. Try the rubber cat wiskers on it and it will be whisper quiet. I don't know why but they do the trick. Welcome to the club!
The foam cores don't even need any silencers. They are calling you.....Rob, Rob.....
SWEET.... YOU JUST GOTTA LOVE NEW TOYS

:clapper:
Very nice Rob! I do like the look of those Morrisons! Good luck with it! :D
Beautiful bow, Rob. I have a Cheyenne on the way, so I'll fill some of the time looking at yours. :) Really glad to hear it is such a smooth shooter.
that looks just like my Shawnee. what are the woods?
Nice :thumbsup:
You guys are killin' me.....I sold a set of foam core limbs for my Cheyenne because they were too light in poundage...now you bring them up again!!! I am remembering how they felt...no, no, don't go there!! Good think Bob doesn't have any on his site in 55# or I would have to call him...YES, I looked on his site! I've got it bad!
Just came in from shooting mine.
With the foam core limbs. :p
Cat whiskers migrated, trying to sneak their way to the serving in the middle, so it is yarn puffs now. I started shooting a bullseye target, arrows all over the place. Spotted an antelope at an unknown distance and killed it dead. Very dead. I had to laugh out loud, one for the relief that I could actually hit something, and two because it showed me that the bow wants to hunt!
Congrats on a beauty, your colors look much like mine. Well, except for the limbs. :D
Killdeer :thumbsup:
That's it, the last straw..I'm ordering some foam core limbs. I'm so easy! :rolleyes:
As we say in the Chagrined Again Hunting Club,
You are weak! (Say it like Warf, the Klingon.)
Killdeer :smileystooges:
Snag, Bob did have a set of Dakota limbs for a Shawnee. They were 54#@28. Not sure if he still has them or not.
Killdeer, When did you sneak those foam cores in? I don't recall "Woman" law on here. I'm going to have to recant my previous statement on another thread. Why do you think I love your riser so much, this was my old bow!
She's a beauty Rob!
