Morrison Dakota ...Smooth shooter

[Two Arrows]

A few years ago I traded for a Morrison Dakota longbow that was 58#'s @ 28". I was a little hesitant to trade for it due to the weight. When I got it I was really surprised that I was able to draw it with no problems. I had a lapse in judgment after a while and traded it for something different.

Recently I had the opportunity to trade for yet another Dakota. I have had some neck, elbow, wrist problems, so I was hesitant to grab this one at 55#'s @ 28". But again, this one drew as if it was several pounds lighter than marked. I really can't think of another bow that I've had that draws as smooth as a Dakota. Is it my imagination, or have any others experienced this?

I have never had a Dakota, but I would like to know what others say about them as well. Congrats on the new bow.

All of the Dakotas I've had drew smooth.

I had one of Bob's Cougars, It was a little short for me at 56" and would hit the wall at 28" But man.. she was Butter getting there.

The Dakota is on my short list.

I love the pics Killdear, nice bow.
I had a dakota and would like to get a 64 inch one. The one I had was to short but a great shooter. We have one at the local archery shop that was owned by a local radio personality and that is a nice bow. 62" with a macassar ebony riser, and that sweet draw.

I got one from Dave 'hunt it', and it really spits an arrow out.  Still need a heavy TD, though.  Awesome pics, Kathy.

Killdeer,thats a beauty! I like that trebark camo too....brings back lots of memories, its what i wore when i arrowed my first deer when i was 14. I had a 2 pc bevel lock dakota with pinecone carvings.  one of the most stunning bows i have ever laid my eyes on, it shot even better than it looked!

Killdear,

The wood on your bow is amazing!  What is it?

Just bought a used Dakota on another site. Waiting for it to ship. It is a 60", 46@27" so that should put it about 50@28, or there abouts, which is just my size. Would have liked it to have been 62" long but hopefully the 60" will be okay. We shall see.

I had a Cougar for a short time and really liked how it shot. The original owner wanted it back so I sold it back to him. I have wanted another Morrison long bow since then, thus the Dakota.

The bow above is Kingwood, with bamboo cores. It is 58" long and pulls 45# at 28".

I picked up another one in May, Macassar and Gaboon ebonies. It is 56", and pulls 46 at 26". It has the carbon/foam core limbs.
