Morrison Cheyenne shooters

[snag]

If anyone has a Cheyenne in the macassar ebony would you please post a picture or two for me to drool over?

[A.S.]

Do a search for "please show me your morrison bows".  There's several good pics of Morrison's bows. One in particular is of a macassar ebony with kingwood flare, by Arrow Slinga. I liked it so much, I just ordered one just like it!

Maybe we'll be some more of those awesome Morrison bow pics here!

David, check out Bob's stock risers. I just bought #7233 Bocote and Macassar. Bob is a great guy to deal with and the Cheyenne's are shooters! Fast, quiet and smooth, and easy on the eyes!

Bob has one for sale in stock on his site. It is a beauty.

[A.S.]

Yep, he's got some nice risers in stock. Problem is, that I'm left handed. Never as much for me to choose from.

Bob's wait time is 4-6 months, not nearly as bad as some of the others out there.

A.S., that was my post! I was just hoping there would be some new ones to see. I'm not sure what kind of grip/riser I would like. Will Bob send you a bow to shoot? I thought I had read that before....? If I like a recurve grip is the medium grip in the A?/B? riser the one for me?

[snag]

Donald, isn't your brother tired of his yet? Man, he must have had it for a whole couple of weeks now!    lol

[A.S.]

Sorry about that, I saw that it was your post after I did it. I just called Bob up and discussed it with him. For my draw length (27"), he suggested the A riser, and I chose C limbs for a 58" bow. He said I could go down to a 56" bow with no problem-I was kind of afraid to go that short.

I also went with a medium grip since it is closest to what I'm used to (Widows).

I don't know for sure if he has bows to try out or not. I did shoot someone's Shawnee this summer that was Bob's personal bow that he had sent out to this guy to try out. The guy like it so much he bought it from Bob.

Good luck chosing your's

A.S.,

I have a 27" draw as well and shoot the A riser in the Cheyenne.  I have both D limbs and and B limbs on my risers, making 60" and 56" bows.  I can tell you that the 56" bow shoots exceptionally well...and stacks arrows at 30 yds.

Snag,
Don't drool...buy!!!  Two of my risers are macassar ebony and they are mighty pretty hunks of wood.  I don't have any current pics, but if you can't find any example photos let me know and I'll drag my risers out for a photo op.  I have dial-up at home, so I wouldn't be able to post until I get to the office next week.

Snag, nope not tired of that beauty and never will be. First 56" bow I have shot and it is so smooth and has no problem with my 29" draw. I have even,dare I say, gone high tech with the arrows for it. shooting original carbonwood 400s that weigh 680gr total and they fly like darts, shot a couple of 30 yard groups today that were to die for. I love this bow. Buy one you will not regret it. My Blacktail,Brack Quest and Marriah Thermal are very jelous right now cause I am shoot this bow excluslively cause it is going to Texas with me in a couple of weeks.

A.S., didn't you just get a new Widow?  I recall you leaving camp with some lame excuse...we all knew you were sittin' in a stand waitin' for the UPS truck   .  Now a Morrison addiction, too...pretty much untreatable. Not that I've got room to talk...just ordered a Sheepeater.  Dang, I thought I was done buyin' bows  

[MRD]

here's the one I just bought from his stock bows

Macassar with macassar flare, limbs stained dark.  It's a low recurve grip, but it feels a little big in the throat.  I may have him refine it a tad for me.  a riser and c limbs, super smooth, 45# @28".  Very quick.  I'm in love!  Again!  lol

Darryl, yeah just got the new Widow. It's not going to stay around very long. I decided there were too many other nice bows out there just to keep buying one brand.

Good luck with your new one! Hoepfully mine will be here in time for the first or second Dixie shoot next year.

[A.S.]

Claudia, thanks for the input. Maybe I'll go for the 56"er---I'll have to ponder on it some. I've shot 60" Widows for so long, it just seems like a huge difference.

[magills]

I've got one of the Cheyenne TD's that is less than 2 months old with the Macassar riser and flare, 60" and 62@29. These seem to shoot even better than the original TD's Bob made. If anyone is interested in buying one of these at a deep discount let me know.

[Pinecone]

A.S....I've got Widows too and I can promise you that my 56" Morrison shoots as well as my 60" Widows.  I love both Morrisons and Widows and truly believe that a shooter is equally well-served with either one.  That said, the performance and stability of my 56" Morrison is a sight to behold!

This is my Cheyenne 46@26 A riser, with A (copperhead) and C (water snake) "pictured" limbs. It is not Macassar Ebony but Texas Ebony. I was going to go with the Macassar Ebony until I saw the Texas Ebony. Thought I would show it too you to help add to the confusion of what to get from Bob.


 

 

[snag]

Love that Macassar ebony! Thanks for the pictures it helps me in deciding...and it helps fuel the fire for wanting to shoot one!

[snag]

Danny, is the limbs on yours the Macassar Ebony too?  
I'm sorry Claudia, I'll stop drooling now...you're right. But I need to decide what I want first. Getting close.

[snag]

For those of you who have shot a Blacktail TD, how does the grip compare to the Morrison A riser medium grip? I love the grip on my Blacktails.
