Title: Frankenbow...Best bow risers to start with?
Post by: Sant-Ravenhill on January 15, 2025, 11:24:51 PM

I know I've seen threads about this but my searches do not produce what I was looking for. (Compound riser and recurve limbs).

What compound bows work best for such a project? Thank for your time.

Bear Black Bear compound riser with Samick Sage limbs.  I was so impressed how well it shot I hunted with mine in 2021 and killed the buck in the picture at 30 yards. I have another Bear Black Bear compound riser and Samick Sage limbs to build another Frankenbow when I find the time.

Hoyt Rambo riser, real simple and a great riser in itself. Wish I still kept mine

Like RAMJET said, the Bear Black Bear riser with sage limbs.  Pretty good combo and easy to assemble.  The hard part is finding the riser, and a lefty was hard for me to find.

How close on the weight of the limbs does the bow turn out using the Black Bear riser?

Normally, you lose about 5# from advertised limb weight.  You can also use a Bear Whitetail II riser with sage limbs.  Not sure about weight loss.

My Martin Pantera riser worked out great.

I have a Warf from a hoyt/easton ram hunter and i got an ilf milled aluminum insert coupled with a cheap pair of used Das limbs with bamboo core.  Shoots so nice Im reverse engineering it into a one piece recurve form
