I have owned both as well.  In my experience, you are correct that the Morrison is faster.  With my Morrison recurve though, that came with addtional hand shock. My BW is smoother and I prefer the feel of it.  It's tough to beat a Morrison looks-wise..he does great snake skins too.  Bottom line for me though...Black Widow.
Live every day like its your last, one day you'll be right.

I have shot a LAG,PL,and now I shoot a PLGA Widow and really like that longbow.I have also shot the morrison cougar.and that longbow was really fast.but once you get widow bit it is hard to shoot another bow for some reason.but overall feel I would have to go with the widow longbows.
Good luck there both top notch bows.

Shoot them both and decide on how they shoot for you....... neither points well for me so I stick with predators/palmers/rose oaks. My hand likes the feel of their grips, so I shoot them better.
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!

In my mind the Widow was faster, smoother, prettier, and faster than I could think.  BUT when it came to killing my three piece Shawnee longbow way our preformed the three piece widow longbow, because the only place I could shoot it was in my mind.

I didnt see that he was asking about LONGBOWs ...I have only owned Recurves made by BW or Morrison..So my opinion posted above is only for the recurves..

I have owned both.  Both are very quick, but the Morrison was hands down quieter.  I went with the ILF longbow so I could go to recurve limbs if I want.  It just gave me more options.
I like Spurs

Morrison Shawnee copperhead skinned

True story. I was sitting talking with Ken Beck at one of the shows when Mr. Morrison waslked up. Ken said, "Jim, have you met the second best bowmaker there is?  :notworthy:    :notworthy:

I've got both and plan on keeping both. I wish the PLGA was a take-down though.
