Over last winter I built my first Warf bow. I acquired a Jennings Black Lightning riser in excellent shape. I roughed up the factory finish and put several coats of flat black Rustoleum paint on the riser. I installed machined aluminum plates from Hawkeye in the limb pockets. They were an absolute perfect fit. I had to lightly tap them into place. I never used any epoxy, glues or anything to install them and they have never moved. I added a pair of TradTech BlackMax 2.0 wood/glass limbs and it made a 61" bow. The JBL riser is much the same as a Bear Black Bear riser and I was told it would make a 62" bow by after careful measuring and re-measuring for a string, mine come out 61" exactly. I put a Bear Weatherest on and a FF Plus Flemish twist string and a set of catwhiskers and began shooting it. After tuning with XX75's and setting the tiller, brace and poundage (I set mine at 44#), shooting it this spring and early summer, it has become my "go-to" bow. Other bows that cost much more are now gathering dust. This JBL Warf shoots as good as anything I've ever put in my hand. Completely dead in the hand on the shot, smooth draw curve, church-mouse quiet and dang good speed/cast. I'm looking forward to a long, happy relationship with this bow and hope to bloody it up this coming fall.
