New Morrison (Pics & Specs)

[Spurs]

Well, Bob put this riser on his site, and I couldn't help myself.  I couldn't pick the phone up fast enough.  This has got to be a disease.  We should have monthly meetings to help with the addiction.  Anyway specs are Mini 14 highly figured cocobola with same wood flare, high grip, dall sheep horn fingergrooves.  I have paired it with a set of C foam core longbow limbs that are backed with timber rattler skins, and chechen overlays.  The limbs are marked 49# @ 28", but are more like 51# @ 28".  I am shooting a 500 spine trad only shaft cut 29.5 with a 200gr. head.  It is absolutely smoking an arrow at 191 fps.  I have blown thru two does like hot butter.  

The other set of limbs are D carbon foam copperhead skinned that are 46# @ 28".  These also will smoke an arrow.

I was not so sure about the high grip, but am surprisingly liking it.  I usually shoot low grips on the Morrison's, but for some reason, I feel quite stable with this high grip.  Only time will tell, but I am not going to make a hasty decision about shaving the grip on this piece of wood.  

I am loving this bow.  It shoots great, and I never get tired of looking at it.  Hope you guys enjoy!

What a bow and limbs!!

[recurve_shooter]

Wow, that is pretty.  Some wild grain in that piece of cocobolo!

[KentuckyTJ]

Wowza Tom stunner right there. You say the limbs are 51 lbs. The ILF are adjustable in weigh I assume you have them as low as they will go?

[Blue Tick]

Very beautiful. I took a look at his website. Can you explain the A and B and such on the risers? I've learned about ILF, but unsure what all that means!

[Cottonwood]

That is a super nice bow there  

[straitera]

Spurs:  I saw that Riser when it first came out, fell in love with it, too bad it wasn't left handed. One of the prettiest I've seen.  Congrats:  RW

Thanks for the kind words guys.  I have been excited about showing it off.

Tom, the limbs are marked 49# @ 28".  What I was saying is that they actually scale about 51# @ 28".  I do have them for all that they will do.  The ILF is adjustable usually down from the marked weight.  It is about a 5lb variance, so I guess I could get them to 44lbs.  I have grown quite fond of more wieght.  I will probably never go over 55, but my next limbs will definately be in the 50's.  I have debated selling the 46lb carbon foam copperheads because I don't ever shoot them except for 3D in summertime.  It amazes me the speed of these bows at these manageble poundages.

Jeff, the A is a sizing scheme.  The A is actually 13 inches, but Bob calls it a mini 14, the B is 15 inches I believe.  He has a chart on his site.  Then comes C and so on.  The same for limbs A - D etc.  The further down the alphabet, the longer the limb or riser.

Sorry I am ILF ignorant. Not sure why I was trying to help when I know little about them. Thanks for the lesson.

Tom,

Thanks a bunch! I'm looking for that chart. He's got some nice ones on there I really like>.
