Here's the deal guys. Im ordering a longbow from Bob and was going to go with a 64in Shawnee with copperhead skins and honey stained limbs with no carbon.

You see i have a real 30in draw and was just wondering if i needed the carbon/foam limbs.

The confusion im having is i have a ILF recueve Bob built me and i really like the way it shoots but was just wondering if anyone was shooting a Shawnee with no carbon or foam and how do you like it.

One of the reason's i was leaning toward the Shawnee was because of the copperhead skins. Now Bob tells me he can put a honey stained overlay on the ILF to make it look just like the Shawnee without carbon.

I am leaning towards the ILF after Bob told me this but just wanted to get some feedback from some of the Morrison shooters.

Thanks
Joe Van Kilpatrick

I would say add the foam for sure and leave out the carbon.  I have an ilf longbow that i love will be able to tell you for sure tuesday when my shawnee carbon foam longbow shows.
2 morrison mini ilf's skinned
2 shawnees skinned
2 PCH X honduran rosewood
Tiger mytrle and brazilian rosewood

I have a foam core Shawnee.  No carbon e limbs with a b riser 64". I have a 30" draw and she is plenty fast. I think you may get a few more fps out of the carbon but with a 30" draw you don't need it.
It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

I have three Shawnees. Two sets of carbon/foam and 2 sets of bamboo core limbs. I like both, but prefer the carbon/foam. Super smooth and a little quicker. Both are very smooth and quiet.
Can't go wrong with any of these!

I have a Shawnee with two sets of limbs 47 lbs c/f and 53 bamboo/c.  Can't tell the diff.  Would like the ILF, but can't stand that screw.  I talked to Bob one day about it and got the idea of building a screw with a spike buck burr on it.  Now that would be cool.

I'm not putting up with this guys shit and dogging me.

spend much time talking with Bob, and he'll sell you on the ILF for sure.  I prefer his Shawnee, it's a great bow. carbon and foam limbs will feel a little smoother, speed wise, not much diff.
