Black Swan, Morrison ILF, Dalaa, Titan
« on: September 12, 2011, 05:58:00 PM »
I'm looking at a new bow and would like to which one do you like best.  What I don't want to know is what you don't like just what you like and why.  
Thanks

I am a big fan of the dalaa. Every time i go to 3Rivers i walk out shaking my head as to why i just dont buy one. Smooth, Fast and the guys up there are great help. Give em a holler.
Good luck
Jim

I have a 15" Morrison ILF Wood riser that is a sweet shooter.  I shoot pretty light poundage. out of it and it still performs very well. I have Dryad Epic recurve limbs.

Not to mention bob and mike make some great looking bows also!!

I would go with the Dalaa or Titan, Titan has a slight edge for me, shorter, more mass, and super easy to tune. Either one will last 3 lifetimes.

I like the 17" Dalaa for its rock solid limb connection with my border hex5 limbs. Also love my Morrison metal riser with the acs ilf longbow limbs from Dyrad.

One advantage of metal risers I like is grip interchangeability.

If you want wood you cant do better than Morrison.And my metal vote on your list is the titan.I've shot everything on your list except the black swan.

Of the 4 you mentioned, I would go with the Dalaa (21") or the Titan, with the edge going to the Titan.  I feel the ILF connection is a much more versatile and user friendly connection.  It is my understanding that Morrison has gotten out of the metal riser business.

I have a low grip 17" MOrrison ILF with carbon/foam limbs. It is a sweet shooter for sure!

i might get ragged for telling this but Bob did quit the metal ilf business BUT in speaking with him, if he can have 6 guys order a metal riser....he has a new gen3 model in the works. but he told me he had to order at least 6 to make it worth while....so i'll be number one on the list if others will jump on board:)

Like I said if I go with a Morrison it will be solid black phenolic 17" riser and glass foam limbs, truthfully it and the Black Swam have cought my fancy more than the others but I know for what I'm looking for they should not be dissregaurded.  What I'm looking at in a Dalaa/Titan is 17" riser and long limbs. What ever I get it will have the ssame specs as far as those lengths go.  I've a 30"+ draw and shoot 54-58 lbs (prefer 55 or 56) so speed is not a concern I need smoothness and a quiet shot.

I belive your on the right track limb wise.Glass foam are as smooth as it get's.Especialy at longer draw lengths.

I have Dryad and Morrison ILF risers and limbs in longbow and recurve forms. Foam core is a big
number one. I like a short riser,with long limbs.
I have a metal ILF for my bowfishing rig for its
attachment readiness. A solid phenolic,and a Cocobolo/Phenolic riser in longbow forms. ACS limbs on one,Morrison D length foam cores on the other. The foam honestly feels smoother,speed so close it is neglagable. And a two wood blended
Dryad riser with static recurve limbs my son is
currently shooting. I love the mass and strength
of Phenolic. Get a good wood married within it,then it is beautiful also. I also prefer ILF in the LONGBOW form. Just my preferrence.

I have recently purchased a new Zipper Standard ILF riser and am using Belcher long recurve limbs 45 lbs @ 29".  Bill matched the riser to my hand perfectly and the combination of limbs and riser works like a charm.  This is my first ILF experience and I am very impressed.

Of those listed, Dalaa for metal and Morrison for wood. Titan not on the chart.

I have owned and shot the Titan , DAS and Morrison . I would say that the 17" Morrison was just as good as the Titan but cheaper [ great service too from Bob ! ]Wish I hadn't sold it.  The only ILF rig I have kept was actually the more expensive SKY 17" TDX .

You can't go wrong with any of them.
