Title: New Bow (with Picts)
Post by: KentuckyTJ on October 25, 2010, 07:22:00 PM
The foam core recurve limbs on a Cheyenne riser is my absolute favorite shooting experience. 58" Gaboon Ebony and Bocote riser.

I gotta agree about the Cheyenne with foam and carbon.  I got a set of them with easterns and they are 5 pounds lighter then my original bamboo limbs and shooting the same arrow at the same speed!  Thanks for your help before I ordered 'em.

Vince, so glad you like them that's a hard to beat combo. Even though Bob Morrison has no idea how I am I think he used my hand one night as I slept for his model on the Cheyenne grip.

Come on now, I've shown you mine lets see your's.

Hahaha, you had your chance to give me that Shawnee Lanier. I told you I needed to shoot it for six months to see if it was better for me than the Cheyennes.

Scott, that is the A riser and C limb combo making a 58"er.

Title: Re: New Bow (with Picts)
Post by: YORNOC on October 25, 2010, 08:52:00 PM
Tough to beat those canebreak skins! Very impressive bow! Nothing like a gnarly piece of bocote to top it off.....NICE
Title: Re: New Bow (with Picts)
Post by: KentuckyTJ on October 25, 2010, 08:55:00 PM
Ryan, I have owned the bamboo core limbs in identical specs and the foam is smoother to draw, much quieter and faster. For the extra $35 it takes to get them it's a no brainer for me.

Beautiful bow TJ!!  Looks like I am not the only one that has been drooling over Bob's site lately.  Don't worry, your not alone brother, I too have been caught by yet another Morrison masterpiece.  I will get pics up sometime the end of this week or the first of next.  Until then I will just drool over my keyboard at your new addition.  Awesome rig!!

Remember the ILF cocobola with doll sheep horn.  I put my name on it the day it hit the site.  It just took him a while to take it down.  It was one of those risers that spoke to me.  I have also picked up some timber rattler limbs that I think you will like.  I have copperhead and timber skinned longbow limbs for it.  I am gonna try the high grip, but will probably send it back for a shave.  I just want to be sure before I add the pinecone.

Pardon me for being so ignorant but who makes this bow?  I have foam core limbs on one of my my many Hoyt Gold Medalists.  This is the bow that wins the Olympics in case you don't recognise the name.  I would be very interested in who makes this bow and in learning about it.

The name is Bob Morrison. He is a sponsor here and a true artist in the craft of bow making.

TJ, that is a great looking bow. The foam core limbs are awesome! I recently bought a Cheyenne off of Bob's stock bow list.  Mine is Gaboon Ebony with a Zebrawood stripe and flare.  It looks great and shoots great.  I plan to send my limbs back to him after the season to add snakeskins.  

To tell you how much I like mine.  I received it on Friday Oct 15th and killed a nine point this past Thursday the 21st.  The buck was my best deer that I have killed with traditional gear.  Needless to say that I like my new bow.
