"Did you round off the Magnesium arrow shelf? Bow looks great."
It has been a long time since I first stripped it but I don't remember changing that radius.
"great looking job bd"
Thanks Bow Doc.Can you or anyone tell me the width of the little bears on the latches?Rear foot to nose? I ordered that bow and was disappointed when it came in without bears.All the ones before had them.I'd like to make a set.Might even put one on the quiver.

If no one posts the dimensions of the bears before I get home this evening I can post them.

Boy it does look great, quiver too. Interesting, the bow has no sight window cut out or hole for adjusting the arrow plate. I guess I never noticed but I don't think I have seen one like that before. They weren't filled somewhere along the line where they?

Jim, Great job! Looks awesome... I have studied that exact paint a few weeks ago at Wally world. Where did you find the primer at? Were any of your screw holes effected by the paint? Chris

Earl,i mentioned earlier that I filled in those channels a lot of years ago.
Oldskool,thanks so much.Those pictures are perfect.I should be able to make a good likeness of them from that.I sure appreciate you doing that.I knew some were brown.Some were black also?
Hoof,I bought it off a website.If you do a search for zinc phosphate primer,it will come up.I will send you a PM.I first primed it and let the primer get into the sdrew holes.After that dried for 24 hrs I put bolts in the large threaded holes and for the small,latch screw holes,I cut Q Tips in half and screwed the stem into the holes before spraying the Multi Textured paint.

Nicely done all the way around. Those mag riser bows are really nice shooters. Posts: 5854 | From: Wisconsin | Registered: Feb 2004

Thanks guys.I agree Orion.I have had a lot of bows come an go but just can't let go of that one and have had it since 1972.I think it was a poor business decision to discontinue them.A real,working man's take down.
