I have the Cheyenne and the Shawnee and they are both lousy. They are ugly, shoot crooked and make noises.
Sorry guys (and Killy) I can't do it. Yazoo, these are some of the best bows you will have in your hand. I've been a pain in Bob's a** ever since I shot my first one. I'm awaiting my foam core Arapho's right now. Man I can't wait. I'm already thinking about my next order. Unless Killy will sell me that riser of hers. Bobs skins are 2nd to NO ONE! His customer service is right with his skins. Ask Novelli about the fever, once you touch one, it's over!
JC,
Did you send Bob that block of wood you have been holding onto. I can't wait to see it finished!

It's taken me a long time to pay it off but I will soon be the proud owner of a Bob Morrison ILF. I got an all phenolic riser, black epoxy finished limbs(black on black) for an inside a Double Bull blind bow. I can hardly wait. I had to sell my 1966 Kodiak to finish paying this bow off but I know it will be worth it.

Mike, you mean this one?

 

  :bigsmyl:  

I had them ship it directly to Bob's shop...when the moisture is right, he's going to do a Shawnee with midnight dymondwood center, this black and white ebony for the outsides. You can bet I'll post pics...should be a stunner.

JC that wood looks like it will provide a natural "predator" camo!  That ought to be quite stunning...for our eyes and critters you shoot!

For my 2 cents worth.

I have shot most of his bow models and the craftsmanship is excellent.  His bows are very effecient and, as such, top quality.

The question remains; Is it the best bow for you?  You will have to shoot one to find out.  

I was hell bent on ordering one, but after shootng them on 4 or 5 occasions I decided they weren't the right bow for me.  Just didn't feel right for some reason. Very accurate and very quiet, but didn't feel right somehow.

I did wind up feeling very comfortable with a different bow and was fortunate that it was significantly cheaper.

Just my opinion,
Charlie

Charlie is correct...if you have not shot it, you really should. I wouldn't buy any bow without shooting a representative model first.

Just got my new Cheyenne with foam core limbs and OH MY! I can't quit shooting it. Been used to shooting longbows of the high performance variety, not mentioning any brand but this Cheyenne has upped my 3d scores 20 points. Those foam core limbs are the smoothest drawing, shooting limbs I've ever shot. You gotta shoot one and check it out for yourself, you'll be amazed. ~Rich~

I totally agree Rich! Sure feels good in the hand with them on the riser too.

My first Morrison is coming soon, foam core limbs, I can hardly STAND it!  This thread is making it worse. (The only good thing is that I haven't been thinking about September as much, but when I get the bow Elk fever will return tenfold!)

Every bow feels different to each individual.  My best advise is to shoot every bow that you can get a hold of and see which one of those speak to you.

  With that said then you need to shoot a Morrison.  

I have shot a lot of bows and and had a lot that spoke to me but I finally found one that yelled at me.  Sold all my bows except my Zipper to get one of Mr. Morrison's bows and no regrets what so ever....Smooth,fast, dead in the hand and quiet.  Accurate, Yes.  Carbon,foam and skins.  ILF Mini 14".  I'm drawing around 27.5" with a 54" longbow limbs and smooth all the way.

 

   

     

What more can I say.  Hope this helps.  

(OK, Bob where's my 5 bucks...)

God Bless,   Pierre

I have/had several of Bob's bows my favorite model I have owned so far has been the Cheyenne Recurves in 54" and 56". I have one of each right now carbon/foam limbs to save time I will say I haven't owned a recurve that shoots as fast or quiet myself.

Well, I think everyone has been right on cue.  I have about seven of Bobs bows and for some odd reason want to order another one.  If JC has anymore of that black and white ebony or where I can get some let me know.  I'm fortunate enough to be able to harass Bob in person and he is one of the honest and sincere bowyers out there.

Patrick ??

Just saw on page 2 where someone mentioned Novelli....I realized I had not seen him here in a while.  Anyone know whats up?  Not that I'm complaining, as his absence has allowed a few of us to acquire some really nice Morrison's.  He did however, seem like a nice guy with a real passion for Bob's Bows.

I'm really lucky at this time, as I have 3 of Bob's bows....the Shawnee/Dakota sure put an end to my search for... "The Bow"... for me.   :wavey:

gene,

Novelli is no longer welcome on this site. Terry removed him about a month ago.
