Title: My new Morrison Cheyenne /pics
Post by: Red Boar on July 24, 2008, 12:26:00 PM
I am new to the traditional side of archery but I was dedicated to starting out with something that would leave me no excuses for not shooting well. I think I made a wise choice.  Here is my Morrison Cheyenne.  

"A" riser
"B" limbs, foam core
Copperhead skins
Pine Cone carving
50# @ 26
Cocobolo & Macasser Ebony

Bob is truly an artist and I am very pleased with the results.    :archer:

Sorry, but that bow would not help my shooting...I would be too concerned about putting a ding on it.  ;)  

For someone new to trad archery, you sure know how to pick'em.  :thumbsup:  

That bow is...   :clapper:

Very nice bow ... If you don't mind me asking how long of a wait did you have? It isn't listed on his site.

Hey Jim...riser was "in stock", so I just had to wait for the limbs.  Time was about 3 months.

Thanks Red Boar .... Once again, extremely nice bow and the snake skin is the ticket for those foam core limbs. I'm sure that one will be a keeper for you.

You're welcome...don't know how accurate it is, but I've heard about 8 months for bow from scratch.  Just go to the "stock bow" section and you can see what he has on hand.  Think I got very lucky with this riser...just what I was looking for.    :D

Very nice bow! You're right, no excuses. With a starting group like that, you've got nowhere to go but down!  :biglaugh:

Welcome to the wounderful world of Morrison ownership!  I have owned 4 different Cheyennnes.  2 new and 2 used.  I also had two Shawnees.  They are all great but the Cheyeene is my favorite.

Yours is beautiful!
