Well, I recently purchased a 62" Morrison Dakota that draws 52# @ 28" from Longbow917 on here.
It is quiet, smooth, accurate, and most of all gorgeous. The skins look unreal in person. It has bamboo cores, yew face veneer, and kudu tips.
I haven't shot all the bows out there, but from what I have shot so far this Morrison is the smoothest, quietest longbow that I have shot. And it just fits perfectly in the hand.
Thanks again Don.
Here are a few pictures for the Morrison fans on here.

Bob makes some of the prettiest bows out there.
Very nice! Those Dakotas are sweet shooters.
Very nice looking bow..!
SWEEEEET :thumbsup: Thats one great lookin bow :archer2:
Good looking is nice, but Morrisons wouldn't be so popular if they weren't great shooting bows.
You done good
That is a beauty for sure. Love my Dakota as well.
OOOOOhhhhh just love the copperhead skins great looker
Nice, congrats!
Really Sweet, gotta love those 1-piece bows, Just an FYI, For you 1-piece lovers out there, Bob is planning on re-introducing the Dakota, this time around with his MAX-2 HIgh Performance limbs. Should be something special, of course you'll have to get in line behind me..RW :goldtooth:
Looking good!!! :thumbsup:
I see alot of similarities between your bow and mine. I really like the finger grooves on yours. Mine has the kudu tips instead of antler.

Love the lines on those bows. Congrats on your new bow.
That bow was up for sale for quite a while. I have no idea why. It is beautiful and the price was right. Congrats!!
Sam- Just a little fyi, I bought an old glass blackhawk longbow when I was 14 at a garage sale. My 13 year old was shooting it before I got him his maddog and I shot all kinds of rabbits, birds, whatever with it when I was a kid. I sent that bow to Bob to have him duplicate the handle because I liked it so much, nice palm swell and small throat. It fit my hand really well too!! You are probably shooting flies out of the air with it by now! :jumper:
Sweet bow.
Very nice. :thumbsup:
Its amazing how bows move around between us stick bow shooters it just so happens that I just traded for this exact bow and should have it in few days, so many bows so little time. Ron.
I also have a Morrison Dakota. He built it for me in 2002. I love this bow. Good job!
Good decision Ron....that bow is an awesome shooter. If it was 48# i would still own it. Great bow!! Got my 2nd pope and young with that bow- a 147" 8 pt., so its got some mojo;-)
Sweet rig!
I cant believe its happening but the Morrison Dakota is in no mans land lost in the USPS system some where between Colorado and Minnesota. The mailman forgot to scan the bow package so I cant track it. I called RMSG and they were great so far so we are just waiting and hoping for it to show. Its the mailmans job to scan the package and as far as I am concerned its total incompetence it only takes seconds to scan a package, It was sent priority mail and its 5 days over due. Ron.
When I looked at R/D longbows it came down to Morrison, Massey and Thunderstick. Then it came down to $$$ and ended up with a TSIII. They all shot so close it was a blast test driving them all.
Is there a name on the bow? It looks like one of mine.
Beautiful bow! Congrats brother
I hope it shows up. I'm sure your sick over it !
Sweet bow, Enjoy!
The bow is still in limbo somewhere it hasn't arrived yet after 12 days, I am starting to think it may never show. Ron.
Nice! Great shooters too..
Nice looking bow. Josh
Any good news on the bow??
That's a beauty.
Tom no the bow hasn't shown up yet, the substitute postman didn't scan the priority mail package so there is no way to track it from Colorado who knows where it is. I will just hope it shows if not I will get the bow back that I traded for it. I really want it to show I really wanted that Dakota. Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear has really been good about the whole thing and I am impressed with the way they do business. Ron.
Nice looking bow. Really want to shoot one. I have been thinking about pulling the trigger on a used one but just haven't seen the right one. Good hunting.
I guess its lost in limbo, its the 21 days over due so RMSG sent my trade bow back to me and they will have to file a claim with USPS, damn I wanted that Dakota....
Well guess what got a call today from RMSG and the Morrison Dakota showed up to their door after 28 days lost in Arizona some where in the lost mail section? Anyway its on the way to me again, this time I told them to make sure the mailman scans the package. I thought I would never see that bow but better late than never. Ron.
Nice! Love the skins!
Nice bow and glad to hear it end on a good note. To many postal horror stories.
Good things come to those who wait (easier said than done). I do miss my 1-piece Dakota.
