Morrison Bows

[Matthew Bolton]

I am seriously considering getting myself a new bow and a Morrison is dang near the top of the list. I've shot the Shawnee and absolutely loved it but I don't know the difference between it an any of the other models so I'm looking for input from those of y'all who have shot them. Thanks in advance!

Money you will NOT regret spending!

The cheyenne has a slightly 'fuller' grip & with it's deflexed riser is generally more forgiving than the Shawnee.

They are all absolute screamers, so don't worry about speed issues (except missing high!)

My go-to bow is a 62" 63#@31" Cheyenne with carbon foam limbs. It's very smooth, ridiculously fast & utterly quiet.
I also have a Shawnee (same specs) that is just as quick, but a little more critical of my form.

I have a Morrison 17" ILF wood/phenolic riser. Very well made.

I have 2 Shawnee and a Cheyene and love all 3.  
There grips just seem to auto fit my hand!!

Matt you need to come back up and shoot some more.You can shoot her all you like.We'll go stumping the next time.Glad you liked it.

Bob is a great bowyer

I'm shooting one of his risers and love it

[Spurs]

I have had them all.  I prefer the ILF.  It is the same as the Cheyenne riser with options of limb change.  My second choice would be a Shawnee with longbow limbs.

[KentuckyTJ]

I have two favorite bows out of all the ones I've shot and the foam core limb Cheyenne recurve is one of them.

I have a Morrison Shawnee with carbon foam limbs,it smokes an arrow.Great bows!

[Dirtybird]

Wow, tough decision.  All if Bobs bows shoot great the final choice would solely be what you like.  Great bows from a great bowyer.

[Stumpknocker]

I have a Shawnee and absolutely love it.  If you love it, then buy it and shoot it. Life is short; carpe bowum Shawneeum.  

[Matthew Bolton]

So considering I can shoot a bulky handle about the same as a smaller handle like my zipper it's safe to say that it doesn't really matter on performance but more on preference?

I recently acquired a Shawnee with Dakota carbon foam limbs and really, really like this little bow.  I've owned an older Cheyenne, but am partial to the Shawnee.

I have an ILF 17" riser with foam core recurve limbs, size "Long". I don't have much to compare with, but I really enjoy shooting the bow. Smooth draw and a quiet shot. Beautifully made to boot. Seems to send off arrows with a good bit of speed too.

Bob was a pleasure to work with.

Yes it is a preferance thing.You can get a small steamlined grip on any of Bobs bows.You can get low,low/medium,medium or high wrist.You can get the grip custom made by sending in something to copy.I have grip on my Shawnee B riser that is unlike any other grip I have seen on a Morrison.Its like a Dale Dye but slighlty lower.

Some like the Shawnee and some like the Cheyenne.I have had quite a few of both the Shawnee and Cheyenne and currantly have 3 ILF risers that are like the Cheyenne riser and also a Shawnee riser.

I like the Shawnee paired up with carb/foam longbow limbs.Mines a B with E limbs.Its a great shooter especially for a longer draw in this configuration.The shawnee riser is more straight up and down vs the deflex of the cheyenne or ILF riser

The Cheyenne and ILF with the deflex riser is superb with recurve limbs IMO.

All the Morrison risers are very versaitile with the multiple limbs lengths available to mate to them and you get 3 riser choice lengths in the Shawnee or Cheyenne and even more length choices with the ILF risers.I got 15 inches,17" and 19" in the ILF riser and may try a 13 inch mini in the future if I want a really short brush/blind bow.

You get alot of riser material choices as well from all phenolic,phenolic/wood,wood or all diamondwood or actionwood etc.Or aluminum in the ILF

X2 what steelhead said

[BowMIke]

I have five Shawnees and two ILF's. I like all of them. Beautiful, smooth and fast. I'ts easy to like Bob's bows!

There is absolutely nothing "Bulky" about a Morrison as three pieces go. Slim and sleek.

[Terry Green]

I've killed a lot of critters with both Shaw and Chey

If I only could have one...it would be a Chey.  I just like that deflex riser a little better.

I'll have to ad to TJ's post....no bulky risers in the Morrisons I've owned and seen.

I had a bunch of kill pics on Bob's page a few years ago, but when he changed his web page they disappeared.

Cheyenne with carbon foam limbs
