OK GUYS,I WANT BOTH OF THESE BOWS BUT CAN ONLY GET ONE AT THIS TIME.PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK .
I have one of each, a 56" Cheyenne 47# @ 28", and a 62" ACS 42# @ 28 with AL riser and love 'em both. The Cheyenne is easier for me to shoot but the ACS is so smooth and at times amazingly accurate. Would you go Morrison recurve or longbow? For pure hunting I would pick the Cheyenne, for 3D and targets the ACS, altho some of that is because of length.
THANKS FOR ALL THE PM
hey Rick thanks,there is a cheyenne on this website that is a little heavy for me but i would buy it if i could get it for 800.00. The bow is only 3 weeks old.I havent made him an offer because he really wants to get 950.00 for it.
Sometimes $800.00 in the hand is better than $950.00 in the bush, it just depends on the seller's circumstances. Maybe he's reading this thread!!
have had both, acs hands down for me anyway.
Rick
I have a Morrison Shawnee 64" 54# @28 (B) riser low grip, it has the carbon foam limbs it's a real shooter. But I just got a new A&H one piece 64" 54# @28 I think its got a little on the the Morrison speed wise. I don't think you'll go wrong with either one of them. But my 3-D bow is a Kevin Gerlock 64" 53# @28 double carbon, I'm really lucky, I have three bows that are real shooters, Good Luck :thumbsup:
Are you talking the Shawnee with the LB limbs. Now that is 2 bows I would like to try, own, maybe someday.
I was refering to the ACS-CX and Shawnee with lb limbs.
Thanks guys
Alan
Yes,They are all long bows, the Morrison is a three piece long bow, Both A&H and Gerlock are one piece. :cool:
I have both. ACS CX 64" 55@27 and a Morrison Shawnees/Arrapaho limbs 56" 56@27. Both smoke an arrow and are quiet. My ACS is aluminum riser and is a bit heavey but absolutely dead in the hand and 3-4 fps faster(not noticable except w/chrono) Can't go wrong either way. I have the "A" riser Morrison ans can go back and forth between the two easily.
I have had two Morrisons a Dakota longbow carbon foam limbs and a Cheyenne 56" bamboo recurve.I also have 54" recurve carbon foam core limbs on order at this time for the Cheyenne. I can say my Morrisons have been top notch shooters and construction has been second to none. I have a ACS 56" one piece on order also right now can't wait to try it out.
acs, no doubt!!
I must say the Morrison Shawnees are one of the best shooting bows I've owned. I won't say anything but this, but shoot them both and you will definately decide.
Mike
I have both and each one is great. I personally prefer the Morrison, but other folks prefer the ACS. Try both before you buy if possible. Bob Morrison offers a test drive option. I'm not sure about ACS.
Allan
Two fine bows IMO. I don't think you will be disappointed with either. I am currently shooting an ACS-CX and have owned one of Bob's Cheyenne recurves with foam limbs. I like the ACS better, but I think it has more to do with LB vs Recurve for me. I have not tried a Morrison LB yet. You won't find a better guy than Bob Morrison and I would think you will be hard pressed to find better quality. You're on a good track to owning a great bow whichever you choose and I'm quite sure the answer to your question is dependant on the particular shooter.
Talked to Bob yesterday here is what i ordered.
ilf longbow 62in 53@29 Gaboon Ebony with Tulip Flare with white strip through the Tulip. Eastern timberback skins. Cant wait to get it,
joevan you are going to love it. the only problem you may experience is a second set of limbs sooner than later. Bob didn't seem to mind. A great bow very fast and whisper silent. I just got mine back from Bob and he added bullsnake skins.
Good choice!
Allan
Can't go wrong with a Morrison.
I got to shoot a ACS by A@H a couple of days ago and i loved the bow. Talked to Dan from A@H today and i have 66in 50@28 jk low grip with a leather wrap on the handle. Guys i am really enjoying traditional archery and talking to all you great people. You are the tip of the sword.
Joe Van Kilpatrick
Joe I like your attitude just order one of every bow and then decide,sounds like you'll fit in just fine here,Larry.
See you knew the solution to the problem the whole time ;)
Both are great bows and I am sure you will enjoy shooting both of them.
Honestly I have only shoot a couple bows I did not like.
I've owned lots and shot lots of bows, Morrison NOT being one of them, I have tried to get one just hasnt played out yet. SO speaking Srictly for the A&H It is one of the best performing bows I have ever shot, Insanely Fast, Light, Comfortable, quiet, Fast, Good looking...Oh and did I mention fast... Yeah It's rediculous, The only problem comes from the shooter It's quite the Squirley bow, SO it's NOT forgiving, If you are an errant shooter.... It just does not work...otherwise It's awesome
Hey Larry love you answer. Yep i am one of those people that when i see something i like i have to try it, and with this website if the bow doesnt fit me i have a place to sell it. Man i love it.
