Title: Morrison ILF Riser Arrived
Post by: JParanee on January 30, 2012, 02:47:00 PM
I got home from the gym this morning and my all Phenolic Morrison Riser was here.

I called Bob who is great BTW and he told me the bolts where maxed out already just dial in my tiller which I did and have at it

I only had about an hour before work so I put on a set of Dryad Epic short limbs I had and set a rough brace height and then proceeded to set the bow up the way I will hunt

For this project I wanted dark everything a true hunting machine no fancy wood hence the full Phenolic riser with only a band of white to set it apart

For a quiver  although I am a big Great Northern fan on three piece bows I went with the old Kwikee Quiver

This bow is gonna be all business

The bow scaled at my 27 inch draw 53 pounds

I went over to my hunting arrows that I keep sorted in vases and pulled some bare shafts from the different selections and started shooting

Again these numbers are just a start and I have just begun to tune but I found a bareshaft it liked

So far very quiet and pretty quick 184 fps thru the chrono with a 530 grain arrow at my 27 inch draw

Mind you with these limbs make a 58 inch bow and I got them here on the exchange.  I figured these would make a great stalking/driving bow.

I really like the Dryad limbs and was ver surprised to see it liked a stiffer spined arrow than I thought

I have a date with John at Trad Tech on Thursday night to try a set of BF Extreme limbs in a medium which will make a 60 inch bow

I am loving this  riser how it feels in the hand not heavy but dead. I love the look of the black Phenolic with the white chevron

I love the versatility of the Ilf setup and can tell I am going to be addicted to searching out limbs

Thanks for looking

Thats a cool rig!

I too like the morrison all phenolic riser and also the wood/phenolic.I got three in 15",17, and 19.

Those Dryad Epic recurve limbs are really nice shooters as well no doubt!

I would like to say after shooting it a bit tonight the limbs are very nice

I like a longer bow but so far these little demons are very shoot able and quick
