limbpad angle

[helo]

Hey guys what would be a good limbpad angle for a combo recurve and longbow riser. Any input would be great thanks.

I think the norm is 11dg.  I use 7dg. on my all wood takedowns.  The greater the reflex the steeper angle.  Not sure if that makes sense.

Recurves usually run around 18 to 20 degrees and longbow 10 to 12 degrees.  Those angles are pretty consistent for bows and allow one to get the necessary amount of preload in your limbs.
