(http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx116/Dirtybird_bucket/P1030249.jpg)This is one of the most amazing risers I have seen.  Italian olive wood.

It is a Shawnee with dakota limbs.  She is 60"60#@28 with carbon foam limbs with copperhead backing and sheep horn tips.  These pictures probably don't do this bow any justice.  The nice thing is that she shoots just as good as she looks.  

For anyone who has ever dealt with Bob, it is always a pleasure to go down and talk with Bob.  A real pleasure to do business with.

Very beautiful bow!  I also have a Shawnee with Dakota carbon foam limbs & copperhead backing.  My riser is Osage and the limb tips are Kudu horn.  What are you using for an arrow rest?  Did that come with the bow, or is that something you added?

McDave,
Dirtybird can correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like Bob's standard sealskin to me.  Every Morrison riser I've ever gotten has had it and I like it.

Bob is an artist.

Another sweet looking bow, Dave.  Thank god I don't live in Ohio.  I'd be divorced.

Post by: Rich in CO on May 24, 2011, 07:04:00 PM

WOW love the riser and love Copperheads also. Do you have any more pic's of the limbs you could post? I have CF Dakota limbs I'm thinking about a set of copperheads. I have light colored riser also & don't want the skins to come out to dark due to the carbon backing.

Post by: Tater on May 24, 2011, 07:04:00 PM

I'm not usually a big fan of lighter woods, but that is one gorgeous bow and I am sure it shoots as good as it looks...!

Title: Re: Bob Morrison has been working his magic again.
Post by: Dirtybird on May 24, 2011, 08:02:00 PM

Rich if you talk to Bob he can probably make them real light if you want the skins.  I'd give him a call.

Nice. Bob makes some beautiful bows that shoot great.It's great to see outstanding art and superior technology together in a traditional bow. Bob and Barb are very nice to deal with as well.

Hard to beat the looks or performance of a Morrison.

may be the best bow i've ever seen...

Post by: Spurs on May 25, 2011, 10:20:00 PM

I am glad to see this up top again.  I can't stop coming and looking at this bow.  Just a question though, did Bob provide this wood or is this wood that you provided Bob?  He's been holding out if he had wood that awesome!!    :eek:     I like the fact that it is different than anything going right now.

I might have to playgerize this bow.

Title: Re: Bob Morrison has been working his magic again.
Post by: Dirtybird on May 25, 2011, 11:33:00 PM

Bob just got this wood in not long ago and I've been holding out for something special, well I think Bob got it right on the money.  He's got a gorgeous slab of Italian olive wood.  Heck I might have to get another riser.

Post by: Arkansaslongbow on May 26, 2011, 12:03:00 AM

I agree that the bow is truly beautiful BUT that arrow beside it isn't that bad either....  :campfire:

Post by: S. Brant Osborn on May 31, 2011, 05:03:00 AM

Been wanting another Shawnee but that one is SICK!  Bob knows how to bait you in.  

You have good reason to be scared to take it out!  So, send it to me and I will break it in for you.  I'll even pay shipping.
