Snag, when I saw your riser, I had second thoughts. That has a quiet, reserved beauty that hits me dead center!

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

I can see it now...Panelling by Morrison. Bob waltzing out in a white coat and Panama hat, or a beret, with a sidekick carrying his portfolio. Pao ferro feng shui, Tex-Tite lava lamps...

I am going to have nightmares, I just know it.

Rick, it's literally a piece of foam instead of bamboo that goes in the core of the limb. Not sure how he does it, but Bob turns it into a heck of a longbow limb!

Syntactic foam is simply glass microballoons in an epoxy matrix. Earl Hoyt Jr first used Syntactic Foam cores in his target recurve limbs back in the late 70's...good stuff, very consistant !

Sounds like something old made new again...kind of a resurrected idea.

That morrison has to be THE cleanest looking bow I have seen yet from Bob.  I just got my ACS CX last week 66" 57# @28" alum riser. It's a damn rocket, dead in the hand, and wisper quite too. My neighbors complimented me on it then asked what the hell it was! Happy New Year    Andrew

Killdeer

Syntactic?
Is that the MO used when doing something you shouldn't?

Here are today's pics;









I really like this bow.   :bigsmyl:

Very nice Killdeer.  1 more question I hear about half pinecones and full pinecones on Morrisons.  Anyone care to explain what the difference is?  Thanks...Mike

Killdeer

He puts another pine cone on. Poor sap, ya really gotta needle him to do it.

That quiver matches up nicely with the bow! You know you are killing me! Still waiting on limbs. Can you post a picture of the limb fronts? Kind of a quarter to the bow shot. Where did you get that tab? I don't think I have seen one like that. Beautiful setup Killdeer!

The limbs are just a plain satin black. The tab is an old one, I picked ip up from a vendor at Baltimore my first year out there. It is stretched-out and the sealskin has lost its hair in the critical parts, but it shoots like my bare fingers. I will replace the bit of sealskin shortly. It is built the same as a cheap calfskin tab with no spacer.

The quiver was made by our friend in archery, Mike G., of Mike's Archery Leather. I don't like back quivers...but I like this one.
