Money no object, both bows are available right now with no wait, which would you choose?
Morrison or A&H (Adcock)?
-
As long as your talking about the Cheyenne, my vote would be for the Morrison. As for the longbows, it's a toss up! Good luck with this decision bud!
-
I tend to like recurves in that case the cheyenne would be my choice. I really want an A&H longbow though.
-
Money no object, I'd buy both!
-
With all the options available on the Morrison, you could spend more with one of Bob's bows. They can be real lookers, however, I voted for the A&H since it is the best longbow I have ever shot.
-
What PSE said occurred to me if $ is not an object.
Bob's bows are off the chart and every one of them I have tried was awesome. My experience with Adcock bows is about 50-50 - some incredible, some OK. The only A&H I've shot fell into the first category.
They serve different niches. A&H are specialty bows for getting the most from light draw weight. I don't think that is a concern for you Rob "I like 70+# bows" Tattoo.

That's pretty much the opinion expected to get. I've shot a few of Bob's bows & only one A&H & frankly I couldn't get on with the A&H in the few brief shots I had. I had heard that they are 'grip finnicky' & assumed that I just didn't have enough experience with the bow. I've never shot a Morrison I didn't like & I am leaning (heavily) towards a Shawnee Dakota, rather than risking dissappointment with an ACS.
It's a large chunk of cheese to put down on a bow I may or may not get on with & have no option to really try beforehand.
And it's only selfbows I like really heavy :biglaugh: Mostly I just stick around the mid-60s :D

Morrison no question. In fact I bought one earlier this year, a Cheyenne. Hands down the best bow I have ever had my hands on. I waited a whole 4 days for it to arrive. Bob has a selection of risers and limbs in stock for those like me who do not want to wait.

Don't I know it, I've just seen this

Hold on, I'm just off to make a quick call.....
-
Looks go to the Cheyenne...but having owned both, I just didn't get along with either of their grips. The ACS-CX was too small in throat of the grip. I do like recurves and have not shot the new riser that A&H has out. The Morrison was better but still not for me. The grip has to work for me or the rest of the bow doesn't matter. They are both great bows...just didn't work for me.
-
Snag,
I am in the same boat as you when it comes to the Morrison grip. I have since learned after many purchases through trial and error that the locator grip that Bob has to offer is the only grip that I can get along with. I have fortunately found 1 in my mnay, and i mean many purhcases of Cheyene's and Shawnee's that had the locator style grip. I called Bob about it and he completly agreed that if the locator is the style of grip you need then the others would not work for you. Try a riser from Morrison that has a locator grip and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I do however prefer the A&H over my Shawnee, it seems to have less handshock and it is a bit quieter. Handshock usually is not a problem but I have since learned of a herniated disc my neck and even the littlest vibration causes discomfort.

Rob
Could you name the woods in that riser, that is a beaut!!!!
-
Certainly could Sir, it's Macassar Ebony with a Tulipwood flare.
This particular riser is no longer for sale (apparently :readit: :thumbsup:
-
Great choice Rob. Now if I can just talk 3 or 4 more folks into calling Bob up this week... I am sure he will send me one just like it as commission.
Tap tap, you out there Bob? Just bring it to Solana, see ya there.
-
Morrison for me Rob.

I'm like you in that I couoldn't get along with the ACS. Several years ago (I think it was 2000 or 2001) at the Texas State Longbow Championship, I was prepared (cash money in my pocket) to purchase a new longbow. I tried several and it came down to either an ACS or a Massie Longhorn. Both bowyers were there and I talked to both and shot each brand multiple times. I decided on the Massie Longhorn for several reasons (both bow and bowyer)and haven't shot or considered an ACS since. In this case, my vote is for the Morrison. Ya' did good!
-
What does A with D give you length wise?
I have contemplated a B riser with D limbs for 64" (similar to your question, the two being so close in design)????
-
I believe 62" on the 'A' riser
-
A-Riser with D-limbs is 60" I do believe. Thats the Cheyenne you got from me Rob.
Awesome looking riser you just purchased. Gotta love that Tulipwood.

Hey Rob, I know that Bob builds an awesome bow but I wouldn't trust his packaging for an over seas shipment. Tell you what, get him to send it to me and I'll inspect it and pack it properly for you. :thumbsup: It should only set delivery back about ... well, uh ... a little bit :D
Seriously beautiful choice there. Congratulations. Morrison's are incredible.
-
Morrison bro. no contest i tried bob's wow!!! talk about awesome!! :thumbsup:
-
had an A&H acs for a couple weeks, now maybe I didn't give it enough time, but I didn't care for it. I've got a Shawnee dakota, B riser with D foam and carbon limbs...not only is it a thing of beauty, but it's a great shooter to boot.
I think you made a good choice, those D limbs on an A riser will really smoke. personally, I found the D limbs on the B riser to be a little slower, but the whole bow seemed a little tamer and sweeter to shoot.
-
Thanks Rob
No longer for sale??????????
How could that be, that has got to be one of the purtiest combo's I have ever seen.
Congrats, and best of luck
-
I have had the pleasure of owning them both and i STILL HAVE THE MORRISONS!!!!!GREAT BOW AND everything one could want in a bow!!!FAST QUIET EASY ON THE EYES .QUALITY ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT THESE BOWS
