I got Bob Morrison to send me the new Chyenne Longbow. Yep, the Chyenen Riser with the new longbow limbs... It is 49 lbs. @ 28 and it flat out cooks... I would need it to be at least 64 bow, this one is a 60' total, but I'm telling you.. It is fast as grease lightning... Seriously..
Great bow... By the way... It is very quiet too.
the foam cores with the black carbon limbs make a great shooter....

We love pics bud, The morrison bows are my second faviorte bows!!!
Great Morrison bows.. My Cheyenne recurve was by far the best performing bow I have ever owned.. My PGA Widow is close but the Morrison is so good that I always shot a bit high with it.

I can't agree more. Thanks for selling it to me! By the way, great quote.
I have a new set of carbon/foam core Cheyenne recurve limbs on my riser. I never owned a bow that shot faster it smokes a arrow and is dead quiet. I was out shooting this evening and everyone there noticed how quiet my cheyenne was.
One of my absolute favorite bows. Same for the bowyer! I need to get a set of those new Cheyenne longbow limbs. The ones on my ILF are fantastic.

Steve, Is it for sale yet? :biglaugh: --Bone
Steve, There is no carbon in that set of limbs, only foam and fiberglass. Carbon will gain around 4 fps. We have some orders for the cdarbon but none have shipped yet.
OOOOFFFF !!!
:saywhat:
Bone, that wasn't nice at all... You know if I were gonna sell it I'd let you shoot it first... Unfortunately, this is a demo. Bob isn't ready to sell this one yet.... Incredible bow!
I bought an ILF with carbon foam limbs recently and it is a real performer. I love'em.
Steve,
When you finish with it Bob's sending it to me try.
I have been so impressed by what I'm reading about these new limbs and the Pictures I've seen, that I have ordered limbs just like these [faom core/ glass] in the "D" lenght.
Should make a "Sweet 60" Bow" on my A riser.
Can't wait to give those new limbs a try. As a matter of fact, with Bob's permission, I'm going to have them at the Wash State Trad. Rendezvous in Packwood, July 31st thru Aug. 2nd. for everyone interested in them to try out.
Gene :wavey:
I also have a shorter set of the new foam/core Cheyenne longbow limbs on order already for my "A" riser.I Can't wait to try them out!
I have two sets of carbon/foam Dakota limbs for my Shawnee so far. All I can say is they are super fast and smooth and draw nicer than any of my boo limbs. There is no comparison between my 75# boo limbs and my 72# carbon, carbons faster and feel like your only pulling 65#.
Steve, did this bow correct your grouping left? Ken
Oh yeah. It actually is a little to the right...
For some reason I only shoot longbows to the left. I guess it is the shelf not being cut to center on them???
But hitting right is not a problem, I can use a thicker side plate and it clears it right up...
I need to clairify the above...
I do bare shaft and still hit left with most longbows not cut to center.
With a recurve I bare shaft and if it is hitting right with feathers, I'll build out the side plate and re bare shaft and start drilling...
Gene, you are to big for a 60" bow, get a 66" and I will give it a test run in Packwood. BTW The WSB shoot is in Packwood this weekend, you going?..Paul
Paul.
Thanks for the heads up. Did not know about that one. I think I could jump on the Electra Glide. [ not hard to do with weather like we have been having.] If I come up thru Cougar, past Mt. St. Helens, to Randle, it's a beautiful [ albet, sometimes bumpy ride ], of right at 100 miles, on a very fun, very curvy, back road.
Not too hard to include in my Shawnee, arrows, and camping gear as I have plenty of storage. Do you know if they will have food available there or close by?
Gene
You guys, and those carbon/foam limbs :readit:
Gene :wavey:
Gene. I could help you out by taking a couple of those Griffin's off your hands. :biglaugh:
The best SPEED information a person can post on this site for the benefit of fellow archers, besides the bow's particulars, are the total weight of the arrow measured on an accurate scale AND the speed in fps measured with an accurate chronograph.
Many "fast bows" aren't all that fast when they're on the "clock."

Here is a couple of pics of my '09 ILF. I picked it up from a Trad Ganger just recently. It is a sweet shooter.

Mark is right I use a Indoor chrony setup and a Dillon Digital Powder scale combo to test my speed.I then record the info into a book and its mine forever!

No chrono and stuff like that to play with here.... It would melt in the heat. hahhah... Not trying to be scientific, just observation is all...
Steel, that is one poppin looking setup there buddy.
You can pick up the basic F1 Chrony for about $85 to $100 shipped. Once you have one you can't live without it such a useful tool for archery. One thing I have found out is most bows don't shoot near as fast as people think when using a hunting weight arrow and string setup.I have also noticed at my 27" draw 50lb bow on average I lose about 1 to 1.5 FPS per 10grs of arrow weight I add on average. So if I went from a 600gr arrow to a 500gr arrow I would gain about 10 FPS on average. Steve I hate to say I think I am going to switch up that setup its sharp looking for sure. I have a set of the new Cheyenne longbow limbs with Bocote venneer going on that riser and those snake skinned limbs are going on a new Ebony/Tulip wood riser.
That is a beautiful bow! I love my Cheyenne's and now that Bob is building longbow limbs, I am sure that there is a set in my future.

The fastest bow i shot is a OL adcock longbow 140# 300 grain flightarrow. Marlon
