Another beautiful Morrison landed in KY today.  Zebra and Macassar Shawnee foam/carbon Longbow was delivered to my house from Arkansas.....the funniest part is looking at the name on the side of the riser it says "Bowhunter4Life"  LOL.
Looks like one is trying to come home...

That would be this one Michael...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/Bowhunter4life/100_0336.jpg)

I traded that one as it has a low grip for this one as it has a medium grip...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/Bowhunter4life/DSC01532.jpg)

You got yourself a nice one, macassar ebony with zebrawood flare.  Enjoy it!

Terry, I've got another Cougar that's 60" / 73#, Gaboon Ebony riser with Tamo Ash veneers.  Also have a MOAB on order through Jim... Osage riser with Bocote flare and Cherry stained Curly Anigre veneers w/moose tips, 60" / 70#.  Works out to be a nice weight to get my fingers off the string so smoothly.  Makes for a great shooting bow for them times when you need a little extra punch over my 60# bows...

That Gaboon Ebony/tamo ash cougar sounds familiar. Does it have any accent stripes in the riser or is it solid Gaboon?

You certainly like your Morrisons don't ya Jeff?

WOW,I still have to see a Morrison that I don't like.
Title: Re: Another Morrison heading to KY...
Post by: LoweBow on January 28, 2010, 09:53:00 AM
That be it!  Shot it a bunch last night and am thinkin it's a keeper.  Wasn't sure how I'd like the low grip, but it fits my big hands well.  Pulled out some 400 Axis shafts from my Widow and loaded her up....they flew like missles.  Wasn't sure I'd be able to shoot a 58" bow w/ my 29-1/2" draw, but it feels really nice.

I'd sure like to shoot one of those Cougars, but like I said.....I couldn't draw that poundage more than once and that would prob be enough to cause an annurism or something.

Post by: Bowhunter4life on January 28, 2010, 07:18:00 PM
Danny, it does have an accent strip of Osage (I believe...), thinking of sending it to Bob to get 1/2 pinecones added and a quick re-finish...

It had a leather grip on it back then.

Post by: Bowhunter4life on January 28, 2010, 09:19:00 PM
It sure does look like it!  I thought about putting leather on it, but I really like the pinecones.  Gives me a solid grip in all situations.  It is marked 67# @ 27" and it did have a personalized name on it at one point but has since been removed...

Yep, pretty sure it was mine, I custom ordered it from Bob. Sold it when I droped down in weight and went to shooting recurves.

I bought a cougar off Bob's inventory that looks just like your bow Jeff.  It was 68#@27" 60" bow.  It had a leather grip at the time.  Bob told me it was a custom order but it missed weight.  When I get the bow it has a name on it "Danny Rowan".  Danny wasn't your bow like 72#?
