Default New longbow........(man law pics)

Can't introduce a new bow without the pics to go with it, and man the pictures don't do this bow justice at all.
It's a 64" Morrison "Cougar" R/D longbow. 56# @ 30", cocobolo riser, with polished Kudu horn riser overlays and tips with genuine copperhead skin limb backs....stained bamboo on the belly. Limb cores are also bamboo.

The grip is a med-low wrist recurve style (very much like you find on their Shawnee TD) and man do I love it.

I have been trying to bareshaft tune it a bit downstairs but haven't spent too much time with it yet. It's close and wow does it ever whip and arrow.[:-]Visually it seems faster than my Black Widow recurve at 61# and the same draw. I was stacking arrows right out of the gate at about 18 yards and the 540gr arrowsfly really flat at that distance.

I think this will be the primary hunting bow for this year for PA's archery season mixing time with the Widow recurve. Broadheads will probably be 160gr Zwickey Eskimo 2 blades unless it's as quick as I think it is in which case it will be the same 150gr Snuffers I shoot off the Widow.

Here she is:
Riser pics........





Check out that Kudu!


Kudu again....this time the tips.



Last but not least the gorgeous Copperhead skin limb backs

You know I was thinking something on those lines. I think his collection will be complete with that or a OL Adcock. I don't know Matt, I don't think you are going to be happy unless you have these too.

Oh, and I can help you out with the BW.

Yeah I know, I know.......I've been eyeing those up as well, I think they are the nicest looking take down bows out there too.
Also been thinking about a Black swan Hybrid too.

After this one though my bow funds are running on fumes.[]LOL

(and quit eyeing up my Black Widow!)

I agree, you need an Adcock I've had about 6 of 'em [8D]
