Title: Action wood Riser
Post by: Forwardhandle on October 17, 2019, 04:01:24 PM: Has any one used a single peace non footed action wood for a take down riser here ?

Post by: Flem on October 17, 2019, 04:23:57 PM: I might have got one in the bow swap. What is non-footed?
Title: Re: Action wood Riser
Post by: Forwardhandle on October 17, 2019, 04:29:53 PM: I should have said non I-beam I never made a take down so I guess my question is ,is it doable ? I don't see why it wouldn't be but figured I would ask plus ,I think it would look cool !

Post by: Forwardhandle on October 18, 2019, 03:08:24 AM: I guess Kenny didn't send him the instruction manual with that one Flem :laughing:

Post by: Roy from Pa on October 18, 2019, 06:36:13 AM: He made it a right handed bow.

I converted it to amberdextious.

That way I kin shoot dah deer on either side of the tree.

Ya don't get out much do ya?

Post by: Crooked Stic on October 18, 2019, 07:54:25 AM: The spectraply we can get now instead of the old Rutland stuff is not as good in my opinion. I think with a TD mid fifties and up for sure needs a ibeam. I have stabilized it before and it takes a lot of resin but needs to be clamped when curing. Seems the glue gives up at 200 degrees.

Post by: Roy from Pa on October 18, 2019, 08:01:27 AM: I may have a piece of the older stuff here, not sure how long it is.

What length ya need, Ritchie?

Post by: monterey on October 24, 2019, 12:28:48 PM: Oh Roy! I've clicked there many times and always got the right stuff. :)

Right now I'm behind on projects because of weather in my mostly outdoor shop. It snowed six inches in the shop last night.

I'm working on organizing an indoor space to do layups and other glue related activities. I can do the rest in my unheated garage or outside as long as it's not too cold.
