JC...try building the sideplate out to .200 or so on the CX, I bet you will see the left arrows go away...dont double the velcro to get the thickness...it will only compress during paradox, and leave you with less than you need.

JC, I like that..."speed angels"! Much better description. Once I got the ACS-CX figured out it chrono'd to about 185-187fps. In my book that is fast!  It took awhile to figure out the grip and arrow combo. It loved the 80-84# POC tapered arrows I made today!    I am really looking forward to seeing how the Cheyenne shoots. Should have the limbs late this week.

Mike, Bob says the new foam core Cheyenne limbs will equal the performance of the foam/carbon longbow limbs...so that should be about 3-5fps conservatively over the boo cores. But check with Bob, I could be incorrect on that.

Mike, I'll post some more pics of the Morrison for you. The carbon is on the back, foam core, black fiberglass belly.

Thanks Rod, yep, already started fiddlin with the strike plate and a piece of leather lacing behind the velcro...but the rain has set in again so I can't tell if it was enough/too much.

Thanks for the compliments fellers...now I just gotta figure out how I'm gonna keep both of em!

JC, I love both of those bows.  Maybe I will get a look at them at some of the shoots.    :thumbsup:

CX has the edge in speed,,,Morrison walks away in the looks department,,, and JC is getting the envy from everyone! Sweet stick ya got there JC,,, could never go wrong with either one of em.

I got my new Cheyenne yesterday, with the foam core limbs. It is 46#@26.5". I snuck it out today to the dog park, and shot a few arras. The first thing I put over the shelf was a bareshaft 2016, which plunked in straight and center-punched the target at 13 or so yards.

Will I chrono it? Someday, maybe. I don't worry about 5 fps here or there. I can only say right now that the bow pulls smoothly, and packs a wallop for its weight. Hmm. I haven't put it on a scale to see if it pulls the same weight that is on the limbs. Aw, Bob wouldn't put an untruth on there, so I won't bother checking.

I am still wondering when/if I should tell Mockingbird about my new bow..  :rolleyes:

I was halfway down the steps when I remembered I forgot my camera. This pic is the one that Bob had on his website, before the half pinecone got put on.

 

Or, do you mean you need a pic of the bareshaft in the target? I coulda faked that though.

The wood combo on that riser is Stunning. The grain by the grip area is hard to put in words. Enjoy and thank you for sharing.

Sweet looking riser Killdeer.  Macassar ebony and bocote?  I'd like a look at your bow with the limbs as well.  Are these recurve limbs with foam cores?  Same setup as JC carbon on the back/foam core/black glass belly?  Man, you all are gonna get me shot when I tell the wife I NEED one of these as well...Mike

You're killing me Killdeer! That's a real beauty. Glad to hear it shoots as good as it looks. When did you order it? I am still waiting, with the holiday shipping, for my limbs. That Macassar, IMHO, is the prettiest wood out there.

No carbon, there wasn't enough gain to make it worthwhile on the recurves. Seems to be the ticket for a longbow, though.
