OK been talking to Bob about another bow. He's in the works getting his new shop up and running going to be awhile but thought you folks from TradGang could help me out. He is considering bring back some older bows from the past.
No its not a 100% but thought I would see if anyone has input or pictures of the one piece Arapahos he made a few years ago.
Pictures pictures pictures !!!!! Trying not to bother Bob with this stuff untill he gets going again he has enough on his plate right now.
Any help would be great !!!
Again Bob Is not going forward with this yet but could be in the works again in the future.
I for one would love to see him bring them back Bob is a good friend and one of if not the best bowyers out there IMHO

Had a 1 pc Arapaho some years back. Excellent bow,good speed,quiet,nice slim trim riser and grip.
The Arapaho is an awesome bow ! When I was at Bobs house I saw the form and asked him about it. I think with enough interest he may dust it off. I have three Morrisons now and thought I had all I could ever need but this may put me over the edge !
Ive never even heard of one, Id love to see a pic. Had a helluva Dakota that I sold and wish I had it back.
Arapaho was the best bow I ever had,
I have owned 2 right hand Arapahos, and still have a left hand one. Great Shooter!
I made the sad mistake and sold a one piece Dakota to Bob(Wapati chaser) I hope she's treating you good. :banghead: :bang head: I have shot a lead wood Arapaho that Mr. Morrison had at his house at one time and it was sweet.
Anyone with picture or two can't find any !!!!!
Dave that Dakota is my go to bow. It added a another eight pointer the wall this year. The limbs you sold me for the Cheyanne keep begging me to take them hunting lol. A 60" Arapaho with a nasty Osage riser bamboo cores , Osage veneers, full pines and Kudo overlays about 60@28 would fit the bill perfectly.
O wow Wapiti Chaser that sound awesome !!!!! I am dying to see a pic or two of these bows
Home run with that combo
I have a Dakota that was my first bow. AND STILL MY FAVORITE!! The friend that got me started got it from the Trad Gang classifieds. :)
Yeah, I kick myself for letting that bow go Bob. I'm glad you made good on it. That bow is a killer.
Anyone pics of a Arapaho!
It's raining so this is all I can do. Limbs are stained natural bamboo.

Bob,
You may want to add this back to the mix...
Love the looks of the 1 piece.
Sweet looking bow Bob, you should bring it back. It looks to be very quick with great lines.
I still have the original forms and plenty of materials,just need a shop.
Bob
Can someone bring me up to speed?
Did you move Bob or slow down building?
I still cruise your website regularly. Love your bows.
Wish you would bring the old style risers back.

I picked up a 1-pc Dakota from Bob quite a few years ago. Had re-finish it for me and the USPS made toothpicks out of it.
I have and love my Shawnee but would really like to have another 1-pc Dakota.

P.S. - too many pieces and not enough curve in the limbs for what you requested but your thread is hurtin' for pictures

That's a nice Arapaho would love to see more of some others but. I know there are not a lot out there but keep them coming. Thank you for posting
I have one. I don't have time to post right now but I have posted pics in the past. Search my old posts and I will try to get some new ones up. It is a great bow and I'm sure you will love it :clapper:

I have more, somewhere. This one was on one of Bob's web pages. I would like to have one just a bit heavier.

Hey nomad
I think owned that bow for a while. It's a great shooter and a real quiet bow. I shouldn't have let it go.
You might be right SL it was given to me by Shawn Leonard about 8 years ago. I have some cotton mouth skins for it and it's in need of refinishing.
It is a great bow and it will be cool to see them being produced again :goldtooth:
Bob found a few pictures to make crazy

I WANT THIS ONE!!!
Wow, I sure like the looks of that one-piece! If it would work for a 30 1/2" draw, I would sure be interested.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Rob
If Bob would build an Arapaho with the Max1 limbs , I would get in line for one.
How about it Bob ? :archer:
We made one max arapaho just before all the moves and need to make some tweaks on it.Need a shop....
Thanks Bob. I sure do like the lines on that bow.
If you do decide to build it again, I hope that you get the word out.
Thanks,
Rob
