morrison foam core limbs opinion??

[ka]

anyone shooting or tried these?? opinions??

[MRD]

I have a set of Morrison ILF recurve limbs with foam cores and black glass.  Best limbs I have shot, as they are noticeably quieter than the the bamboo core limbs, and are very smooth and forgiving (stable), too.  I'm sold on them!   :D

I have shot them, Bobs' best wityhout a doubt. Shawn

Love them. Just wish he could put wood veneers on them. But they sure shoot good!

[Curveman]

I passed on a pair of Border foam core limbs because they can't seem to put the wood veneers on them either. I'm sure they shoot better than my XP-30's but who cares? I like the yew!

I've got a set with carbon,they are very smooth and quiet,and fast!
These are the best limbs I have shot.

[Chris Surtees]

Great limbs! Right now if I had to pick one bow to shoot for the rest of my life it would be my Shawnee with foam carbon limbs but thank God I do not have to do that     .

If you decide to get a set I am sure you will not be disappointed. Draw smooth, very fast, and no hand shock. Plus IMO they look good to especially with skins!

They are much smoother and quieter than the bamboo cores.  I love mine even sold my copperhead limbs for the black carbon...Doc

I visited Bob's shop on wednesday to see what all hype was about. The 4 hour drive was well worth it. It was my first experience shooting a Morrison and I wasn't disappointed. I was impressed by the performance of the Shawnee with bamboo limbs. Then Bob had me shoot one with foam cores. I was really impressed. Smooth draw, fast, and whisper quiet. I usually shoot 52# and had no problem shooting a 58# bow. Before I could make it to my truck, I already had a new Shawnee with carbon backed foam core limbs ordered.    Now the long wait begins!!!

What's Bob get for the foam core limbs?    and am I understanding correctly that he won't put wood on them?    I just got an osage and micarta 18" ILF and was hoping I could get osage limbs for it.

[snag]

That's right Dick, no wood veneer. Must be not compatiable for laminating with this material. The foam core limbs, as I recall, are around $500+.

Thanks, Snag...     I have another question...   I kind of prowled the Morrison site last night... I got both of my Morrison ILF risers off the lists, so no paperwork or anything with them.   On Bob's site, I caught a note that his risers are made for Win/Win limbs and that use of other ILF limbs could cause damage.   I know I never gave it a thought and tried several different brands of limbs on my 16", and put the TT limbs on the 18" yesterday.   All seemed to fit and work fine.   Anyone know what this caution is about?  Anyone else using other than Morrison or Win/Win limbs?

[snag]

I'd call and talk with Bob on that one! Maybe it was pertaining to a difference in older models to the current ones...?

[Dick in Seattle]

I got an invite to call Vermonster and did so... he explained that there are some minor differences in some of the ILF risers, particularly the European ones.  (also on the DAS risers, which have a bushing, but I think most folks know that..)   Anyway, it's mostly a matter of precise fit... and if there is a problem fitting it, don't use it.   I have several limbs from different makers... Kap, Win/Win, Flute (European) and Trad Tech.   All have worked so far.    Vermonster pointed out that on some the mounting angle may be a bit different from others, so the math of calculating what weight you're going to get may be off a bit.    Sounds like a little common sense will handle it.

Dick/Snag- I'm not sure what you have been told, but Bob does put wood veneers on the foam core limbs. I have a set of Arapho foam core with Bacote veneers on them coming. FYI.

Hello,
do not shoot these limbs , they are addictive.
LOL. Shawnee with carbon limbs - so smooth.
Cheyenne with foam core limbs - to good to be thrue.
In my opinion the Morrison limbs are some of the best.

[Jwilliam]

My friend just ordered a Shawnee also. Bob is putting Zebrawood on the belly of his foam core limbs,and Copperheads on the back.

I shot a Shawnee at the Expo tonight with curve limbs that had foam core and (I believe)Zebrawood back and belly.

The killer though was a 61# foam/carbon Shawnee with F limbs. HOLY SMOKES!!!!  That bow was incredible.  We shot a bunch of different bows and those Morrison's are a cut above.  Absolutely worth the cost of admission.

[Craig]

Just want to APOLOGIZE to Bob and anyone else that has anything to do with Morrison Archery. I wasn't told the whole story about Bob's new limbs. I was just told about the ILF limbs. Sorry if I caused a problem. Craig

[vermonster13]

Bob makes his limbs. The Trad Tech limbs are the Samick made ones.
