Title: My New Morrison
Post by: Bullquest on January 03, 2013, 08:21:00 PM
Hey All;

Well, it's been less than a year since I bought my used Cheyenne, but I loved shooting it so much that by late November I called Mr. Morrison and ordered a new one! Bob told me it was a great time to order one and that he could probably finish it a little sooner than the usual 3 to 6 months. Boy he wasn't kidding! After about 28 days Barb e-mailed me that it was ready to ship. I couldn't be more pleased with this beauty. Cocobolo and black phenolic, with eastern diamond back skins on max 1 limbs.

specs are "B" riser and "D" limbs for a 62" bow
50# @ 28"     (http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a494/Bullquest/P1000357_zps3c431b6d.jpg)

That's a beauty, Bob doesn't know how to build an ugly bow.  Great bow!

With some great tips and suggestions from fellow members, I bought a few dozen discounted Beman MFX Classic 500 shafts and started experimenting. I settled on 29 7/8" with a 100 brain brass insert, 125 grain tip, and a 2020 aluminum footing. Add in the weight of my crown, cresting and feathers, and I end up with 555 grain total arrow weight!

From 23 yards I think I might be on the right track.

Thanks. My 1st cheyenne is 50# @ 29" and has original wood core limbs. It shoots really well and is super quiet, especially after I started shooting woodies.
But these Max 1 limbs are amazing! Ultra smooth on the draw at my 28" length, and though they are only 3#s heavier than my old limbs, they thump the target way harder. It certainly flattened my arrow flight out.
Since I like color, my string making buddy made me a flemish twist out of 8190 to match my arrows!
Heres another few pics of the limbs with the Dall sheep tips.

That is a very nice looking bow and terrific shooting! Threads and pictures like yours sent me lurking around Morrison camps!

After trading for a Mini (wood) ILF Morrison with WW limbs from Barry at LeftiesRus I ordered Max 1 limbs yesterday. I ordered mediums which will make my bow a 56". The max weight will be 50-52 pounds at 26#.

The WW limbs on the bow I traded for are actually very impressive. They knocked every bow I own out of the top "performance" spot!  I've never shot the WW limbs before (carbon and foam). I was very impressed.  It sure was tough finding a string in my pile for a 57" recurve though! All my bows are 56, 58, 60, and 62".

Bob tells me I might not notice any extra umph but I will notice a smoother draw.

I'm waiting for a set of MAX I limbs.  My wife has them on her DAS riser....really the best shooting limbs I've had in my hands.

Love the Morrison bows. I wasn't aware that they were offering these limbs on a Cheyenne? Is this an ILF setup? Also, what is the benefit of the Max 1 limbs?

Thanks
Kyle

Kyle,

Bob is offering the Max 1's for the Cheyenne AND the ILF risers, now.  I love the limbs I currently have, but really hope to try the Max's someday!

Here is a link to Bob's Cheyenne in-stock bow page that shows some of the new limbs if you scroll down towards the bottom:

A beauty, and it seems to fit you well based on the 23 yard group!

Ain't that the truth!

Dude, you're using almost the exact same arrow that I shoot. Everything is the same except mine are 29.25" long. Same footing, point weight, insert and everything. Pretty cool. Great choice in arrows for a great bow!

Someday I may just have to own a Cheyenne.

Bob, makes a great bow, the new MAX 1 limbs made them even better. I have an almost identical set- up in the ILF format, without a doubt my go to bow.  Sweet choice, I know you will enjoy it. R W

Thanks to everyone for their comments. It sure was a pleasure dealing with Bob and Barb and the beauty he built me will bring me years of enjoyment
Doug Catlett, I think you might have been the one who steered me toward the Beman MFX classics when I asked for advice in an earlier post. That is whats great about this site, every one is so friendly and helpfull, especially to the new guys.

Thanks again to all.

Kyle: Bob's MAX I limbs are carbon and foam in construction. They are also a radical recurve....some would say its a static tip...but it's very much like the curves now found on Borders and I believe Dryads.  Here's a pic of the super shorts on my wife's DAS riser. You can see the long sweeping curve. They are very smooth and quiet. Very similar to Borders in performance but for my style of shooting they are more stable, easy to tune and very quiet. I also like being able to get a short limb on my DAS. My bow will be exactly like Laura's but will be 55# @ 28". (Bob...I did get your email last night. Thank you.)

Bill,
What is the overall length of your wife's bow in the picture above? Those are the A or Super Short limbs right?  Would that be a 56" bow in the picture?
Title: Re: My New Morrison
Post by: Bill Carlsen on January 05, 2013, 11:21:00 AM
Roy...that's right...56".

That sounds just like my wife when she shoots hers. My limbs should show up today or tomorrow.
