Title: Got a Package from Morrison today
Post by: Lewis Brookshire III on November 26, 2008, 09:35:00 PM
I got my Mini 14" ILF riser today!!! Its solid Phenolic with White phenolic, black phenolic then Bocote overlays on the front of the riser with finger grooves. This is the first of anything I have ever held from Bob and all the words I have ever read were true. The man is a true Craftsman!

I put a set of Long Hoyt Carbonwoods on it and it shoots great. The grip with the finger grooves is very comfy with a grip that is very easily repeatable. The Phenolic is a bit heavier than I thought it would be but I am starting to get used to it. The three piece longbow I shoot now is really light so it took a bit to transition.

Now I just have to save up for some 56" Carbon/foam Morrison longbow limbs for it!    :readit:

Very nice Lewis. I just received a 16" riser and a one of a kind set of Morrison ILF recurve limbs myself.

They are Shawnee Arapaho limbs Bob converted to ILF and make a 62" bow with a 16" riser.

Interesting, so it doesnt have that weird wedge shape at the base. After looking at a bunch of ILF limbs I have wondered why they all have the double taper wedge instead of a normal limb wedge.....

Nice bow...I see an order for a mini 14 in the near future for me as well.

I am thinking black and white ebony riser with foam carbon Dakota limbs backed with some water snake skins.

Oh man I can not wait.
