Title: Got another Morrison Cougar in a trade...
Post by: Bowhunter4life on December 02, 2009, 11:28:00 AM
Just waiting for it to arrive...

60", 68# @ 27" (or 74# @ 29"), Gaboon Ebony and Osage riser, with Actionboo limbs with Japanese (Tamo) Ash veneers and Kudu tips.  Bow was to heavy for the other owner, and he was asking $375 shipped.  I traded a Thunderstick Mag 60", 56# @ 28", but had to add $100 to make the deal work but I happily did that.  Don't know how old the Cougar is, but by the looks of the Osage I'd say at least several years.

I think I'll be putting this bow to good use in the near future!

Interesting Danny, but then again anyone buying a used bow has a fair chance that you owned it previously...   ;)  

I've got another Cougar that I really like, but it's 62" and 55# @ 29"...

Curt, I'm going to bring a few different bows, this one may just make the trip too...  Need to meet her first!  ;)

Gonna be hard to not use the Shawnee I used last year, she did me right with 4 shots, 4 hits, and three deer down in three back to back hunts...

whew....the gypsy cougar has resurfaced again. Pretty bow I was wondering where it ended up. Not mine just catches your eye when she makes an appearance.

Wow, pics don't do it justice.  Haven't shot her yet but she is smooth as silk on the draw.  Got the day off tomorrow and we will do a bit of getting to know each other...  ;)

I owned that one for a while Jeff, but didn't buy it new.  Very nice bow, wish I had a good enough release to be able to shoot it.  I seem to do better with more weight to get my fingers off the string.  ;)

This is one of my favorite Morrisons. I love the woods in this bow. Have seen it on here many of times and it just gets prettier and prettier.

Well, she is liking my 31" Gold Tip 75/95's with 250 grains up front.  Put an EFA quiver on her, and luckily I've got about 4 dozen Magnus 1's weighted to 260 grains...

The bow is simply beautiful, hard not to sit and drool over her!  Shoots like all of my Morrison's, smooth, quiet, with no hand shock, and flings an arrow with authority!
