New Morrison ILF, a zebrawood masterpiece!
« on: April 14, 2009, 10:44:00 PM »
WOW, just got this in from Bob and it is the best Morrison I have ever owned. Mini 14 riser of zebrawood and black phenolic with red accent stripe flanked by clear maple. D recurve ILF limbs, foam core with carbon on the back covered in wide banded watersnake skins, not sure if the belly is black glass or carbon,phenolic tips. 60#@28". Super smooth on the draw and dead in the hand.This thing is quiet as a mouse and fast as lightening. Nope, this one will not be going anywhere people, so don't even ask!

Nope!
I'm gonna buy it! And then I will ask Bob to take those limbs down to "skinny-banded water snake" size, and it should be just about my weight.

Sure is a beauty, Danny! I like the understated pattern of the skins, brings out the riser.

Opening up a box with a brand new Morrison in it...aaaahhhhhhhhh we need to coin a term for that experience. Although I'm not sure a single word could relate all the emotion.

Beautiful bow brother now go get her bloody. Let us know when she earns her name and what it turns out to be.

Danny, sweet bow and glad to hear you are happy with it. Considering the number of bows that have been through your hands your statement speaks volumes. Now, if we can just get you to KEEP it     :biglaugh:  

Please don't shoot me for stealing your thread, hope you understand since you are a comrade in arms...

T..J., I have a couple of terms I've used:

Morrisonitis (also Morrisonosis)- initially an inocuous disease that is transmitted on first contact with a Morrison bow; progressing to fever, sweats, agitation and withdrawal from said bow; culminating in the eventual purchase and shooting of said bow. This disease is not terminal; on the contrary it manifests itself in the later stages as euphoria and a stupid blissful grin while shooting said bow (see Morrisonitude below). No known cure but regular shooting and fondling of said bow will minimize initial negative symptoms. Ex. "His wife is gonna kill me...I've given him Morrisonitis."

Morrisonist - term used to describe anyone who is a "believer" in Morrison bows. "He's finally seen the light...now he's a Morrisonist."

Morrisoniac - term used to describe one in the later stages of Morrisonitis. Ex. "There's no hope now, he's definitely a Morrisoniac."

Morrisonoid - someone who is helplessly and hopelessly devoted to Morrison bows exclusively, to the point of denial that other bows even exist. Ex. "It's a shame for those other bowyers, JC is a complete Morrisonoid."

Morrisonerrific - descriptive term used to describe positive qualities of a Morrison bow; generally considered to be an expression of ultimate satisfaction. Ex. "Those snake skins are Morrisonerrific!"

Morrisonitude - state of perfect well being and peace with the universe caused by shooting a Morrison bow; typically symptomatic with glazed eyes, a silly grin and in extreme cases slurred speech and drool. Ex. "He was completely lost in Morrisonitude, not noticing his wife as she recited his honey-do list."

Morrisonism - Though not necessarily specific to Morrison bows only, a word or phrase associated with ALL Morrison bows. Ex. "This bow is super fast, stable, and church-mouse quiet."

Morrisonified (also Morrisonized and Morrisonated),  - Description of the action performed by Morrison bows when they deliver the payload precisely on target. Ex. "Heart Shot! That buck just got Morrisonified/Morrisonized/Morrisonated."

Damn it...I just spit coffee all over my new keyboard.

J.C. we need to set a # to the "Morrisonoid" description. Like say 3 or more Morrisons in possession.

LOL, sorry to sidetrack your thread Danny, but you have to admit J.C.'s definitions are well thought out and genuine.

I only have 2 so I haven't been "Morrisonoid" as of yet.

Awesome looking bow Danny, Congrats!

I've also been told that a person should not ever own more than one Morrison at a time. Reason is that you can only shoot one at a time and one will be sitting on a shelf somewhere. NO Morrison should be sitting on a shelf anywhere!   :readit:

ROTFLMAO.

JC you just aint right,LOL.

Yes, I am a one bow guy, I shoot just one bow at a time,LOL.

David, I like that, Heri-um, yup that is me, gotta have a full rack of bows.LOL.

I know I have gone through a bunch of bows, most all of the high end ones at one time or another. I have 8 bows on the rack and they will all stay with me. I shoot them all well and they are tuned for the same arrow. I can pick any one of them and go hunting and have the confidence that I will hit what I aim at. I have been blessed with a good enough job that I have been able to try all the bows I wanted to try and keep the ones that fit me.

Feliciano, my friend, I will be putting up some pics and thoughts on the Bear A riser soon. It is a shooter and a keeper for sure.

Now begins the arduous process of selecting the "back-up" bow.  You know if you love this one that much you will never want to be without it under any circumstances.  Wonder what woods and skins would compliment number one?

Sure is a fine looker and has rekindled my desire to acquire the mini-14.  I feel ashamed because I'm looking at my 16 inch like it just ain't good enough anymore.  "[dntthnk]"

Nice bow Danny!!  Now are you glad I did not take you up on your orginal offer?  

I just picked mine up this past weekend.  Mini 14" with "C" longbow limbs.  I have not taken any photos yet, as I have been having too much fun shooting it to put it down to pictures.
