Title: New, Old Bow Day--traded for a Morrison TD
Post by: P.J. Petiniot on August 01, 2011, 06:24:00 PM
I acquired a used, 62" Morrison today.

It's a nice bow,in the exact weight I was looking for--

I am looking for a bit of advice and information.

The bow does not have a name on it, so I assume it was sold off the rack and a shoot or event, or was a donation-No big deal, I don't care who use to own it-

It needs a new string, and I am going to sit down tonight and build a couple.

I want to make sure this bow is fast flight ready--I was thinking all of Bob's bows were, but I want to make sure-

The limb tips look like a fake horn, sort of phenolic--I see grain and a weave of some sort in there. Tips are a charcoal grey and off white, bone/antler looking material-

The limbs and riser have a serial number on them, and I was curious how to decipher Bob's code---

Thanks in Advance---

If you are talking about the year built the last two numbers on the serial number are the year Bob made the bow. Bob is a sponser here,you can Phone,PM or Email the serial to him and he can answer all your Questions.

That helps--If It was made recently, I know it will be FF compatible


Thank you---

The riser ends in 73---I don't believe it is that old;) Limbs end in 91, I don't believe either of these numbers are the year of MFG.

the limbs and riser have an 11 digit SN--

My last Shawnee has a 12 number serial riser numbers ends in 09 and limbs end in 10 .Either of your limbs or riser may have been switched from other bows.

Bob got back with me, and informed me of something I assumed, but was not 100% sure of--

Bob said all of the bows they have made are fast flight compatible--

A big public thank you to Bob for getting back with me so quickly--
