New to me Morrison Cheyenne. Pine coned with pics!
« on: May 26, 2014, 12:21:00 PM »
About a month ago I received a Cheyenne that I purchased from a fellow ganger, and wow what a bow. Bob sure does know how to build them.

The bows spec are: 58" 58#@28". The handle is koa, and the limbs are carbon foam with bacote veneers.

I had been in the market to try something new and had always heard great things about Bob's bows, but was honestly leaning more towards a Zipper or Tall tines. However I saw this gem pop up on the classified  and knew that I had to give it a go.

The mass weight of this bow is really nice. I was concerned that with the Cheyenne slim profile and with foam limbs it would be a little light, but with a GN quiver and some 600 grain arrows, it really feels great and balances perfect.

The grip fits me like a glove. It is cut fairly low which is right up my alley. This was the first thing that I noticed when I pulled  it out of the box and loved it. However my next move will be to send it off to to Schafer to get it checkered as I have really been turned on to this recently.

I have shot quite a few different bows in my day, but have not found one yet that points as natural as this, and that I can group quite as well with in the first day of shooting.  The ganger that I bought this from made up a new 8190 string for me, which has been a great string even though I am used to SBD's.  I added bow hush and puppies to it and it is the quietest recurve that I have owned, and still is able to really zip my heavy arrows.  I have not been able to chrono it yet but think I will be pleasantly surprised.

All in all I am now a firm believer in Bob's bows and would recommend them to anyone. I plan on this being my sole hunting bow this fall and feel confident that it will put a hurtin on some critters.

Thanks Mike "Gottabow" for a fine bow and being such a great guy to do business with.

Very nice.  Bobs bows are shooters for sure.  The checkering will really set it off.  Dave checkered all my Morrisons for me.

I've always liked Morrisons and that is a looker right there! Well done mate.

Bob's "pine cones" are a form of checkering.  Love the cones on my Shawnee.

Thanks Everyone, I have been very happy with it.

It is a tough bow to put down once you start shooting.

My problem now is putting it down long enough to send it off to get checkered!
