Morrison Foam Carbon Limbs for Cheyenne
« on: June 20, 2008, 08:38:00 PM »
I am a big fan of Morrison bows and am considering an upgrade to a set of the carbon foam cheyenne limbs.  I currently have a set of the bamboo cheyenne limbs.  For those who have shot both, how much difference is there between the bamboo and Foam/carbon limbs?

Texas, probably a little faster. You might ask Bob, he'll be honest with you about the speed difference.  The real deal is in smoothness and noise.  Dean had it right and I can't add anything.  If you don't want to spend the money don't try them.  Nothing wrong with the standard limbs at all and the foam/carbon won't make you a better archer (I dunno, maybe) but they are quite remarkable in their own right.

Hey TexasTrad...........I just got a new set in about a month ago and love them.  I have a Shawnee with foam-carbon Dakota limbs and and am extremely happy with them.  I live very close to you and you can shoot them before you order some if you would like.  Bob has outdone himself with these new limbs.

What I should have said is that I don't think Bob is making the foam/carbon limbs for the his Cheyenne bows...but he is making the foam/carbon for his longbows....

Thanks for all of the replies.  I did not realize that Bob didnt make the foam/carbon for the Cheyenne.  So the cheyenne limbs are foam core/black glass??

Yes.

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.  I just traded a Shawnee that had Dakota foam/carbon limbs for a Cheyenne with foam limbs.  I assumed they were carbon backed as well (can't see through snake skin and probably couldn't tell anyway).  I wouldn't have known any better if it wasn't for the smart folk here.  So I now amend any comment to read thus:  The foam/carbon Shawnee limbs are very great.  The foam/glass Cheyenne limbs are very great also.  I like/reccommend them both very much although the Cheyenne riser appeals to me more.

Bob does make foam core Cheyenne limbs with carbon backing if you want them, but in the lower weights Bob says you don't lose much in speed without the carbon and the carbon limbs in low weights are not as smooth as the ones with only fiberglass. Therefore, Bob only recommends the foam core Cheyenne limbs in higher weights, like 60 or 65 pounds and above. That leaves me out! In the Shawnee Dakota limbs he recommends the foam core carbon limbs even in the weights as low as the 40's because the narrower limbs behave differently with the carbon laminations as compared to the wider Cheyenne limbs. He is building me some of the Dakota limbs in the low 50's and is using the foam/carbon combination. Maybe someone could ask Bob to post his suggestions here in case I am incorrect in some respect, but I am telling you what I remember him saying to me a couple of months ago when I was placing my limb order with him.

Is foam available in one piece bows? Not really sure how this foam works.

I think the foam is available in the one-piece Dakota also.

"Not really sure how this foam works. "

How do these foam core limbs work?

Bob was telling me about the foam. I think it is pretty hard and solid, kind of like plastic, and you use it the same way you would use a piece of wood - you cut it and shape it and glue it up. It has been around for a long time. I think Hoyt was one of the first to use it many years ago.

Thanks for the information, I can visualize it a little better now.
