What is the idea behind the pinecones on the morrison risers

[Arrow Slinga]

I just sent my bow to Bob and had him do full pinecones on it. I must admit the first time I shot it for a while my hand was sore the next day when I went to shoot. But after that I think the newness of the sharp edge wears down and you get used to it. I wouldn't ever want one without it now,works great especially when your hand is sweaty or when you need a glove.I shoot 60# not a high poundage bow either.

I had the pine cones on 2 of my past bows and they made a calus on my palm. Just keep shooting and the sornest will go away. If you want you can take some fine sand paper and sand it , then respray. It's not hard to do.

Checkered or pinecones bother me after a couple hundred shots, I shoot bows to 66# so they are hard on the hand, didnt a buy a Schafer because of a checkered grip at Cloverdale one year and it was at a steal.

I am not a fan but to each there own - Don't really like how they look even?  I just like simple rather than flashy.JMO

Dang fellas I was picking on a buddy here, so if you thought I was calling anyone a sissy you don't know me.I like to do those things in person.Anyways I shoot 69#'s,work in sheet metal constuction and the pinecone does not bother me.I have had 2 risers with the pinecones and they both felt the same.

dorris and harl you guys crack me up        <><

[Carbon Caster]

Harl,

You didn't answer my question.  LOL!!!

Are you coming out here next spring or was it a false rumor I heard?

[HARL]

Brian,
        What part of the question ? Bin told I smelt like a gorilla after work.As far as heading your way next spring,I'll be there for sure.Been a few years since I was bear hunting and am looking forward to it.(They make me wear clothes here.)I'll be seeing you for sure !!!

The reason the Pine cones are still being used by Morrison archery is I can't shoot without them anymore. I got use to them and the bow isn't complete for me until it has Full Pine Cones.... Please don't take this as baiting you to get them. It really boggs us down to do them. I can do them for myself and thats plenty for me.
 They do look good but the reason is for the grip not sliding at all.........

Shoot Harl, most tin knockers I know don't have any feeling left in their hands anyhow.

Steve,you have a point there.They generally been cut so many times ya can't feel anything through the scar tissue.
