A&H Carbon Riser

[Hogdgz]

Hey guys, just wondering what you guys thought about the carbon riser and limbs. I plan on ordering and 14 inch riser and cant decide between the wood and carbon.

I have never shot one of the carbon risers before I hear that they are realy quite.

Do you think the carbon is tougher and more durable than the standard risers? thanks

Give Bill Warren  aka. "Peckerwood" a shout as he has alot of experience with the new carbon riser. TM

I love the idea (and looks)of the carbon riser. It is quite a bit lighter than the wood riser. That may be something for you to consider. I just swapped out my wood riser for their aluminum riser because I wanted a heavier bow. Different strokes for different folks!

[Hogdgz]

How do you like the aluminum riser, they are a good bit heavier but I bet they shoot awesome.

I have shot all 3 risers, i personally like alum best because of weight. I believe that a heavier bow is more stable. The carbon is whisper quiet and super strong, but so light that i could'nt hold it steady. Just my 2 cents.

[A.S.]

I'm right with 8888blk. I have not shot the carbon riser, but I have had 2 wood risers and now my aluminum riser. I am in love with it!  The extra weight really helps hold it steady at full draw.

I describe it as comparing shooting a .22 rimfire and a Kentucky mountain rifle offhand....hope that makes sense. For my shooting stlye, the added weight really helps.

Thanks guys, think I am gonna go with the wood riser. I like the looks of the carbon riser but I figured and as yall stated it would be harder to hold steady. I like mass weight in a bow also, thats why i shoot my Black Widow SAX so good.

I like mass, too.  I have had A&H's 14"aluminum and 14 & 16" wood risers, and the aluminum clearly for me was easier to shoot.  I love the idea of an all-carbon riser, but I would be reluctant due to the light weight  as well.  I found their 16" wood risers were a good compromise, especially with a bow quiver--a bit heavier but with the taller sight window which I need.

What really shoots great is a combination phenolic I beam wood riser. You get the stiffness and weight of the phenolic I beam and the beauty of the wood. Its a really great Combination. God Bless and check out Eaglewing. Steve

If you get a heavy riser, send it to Big Jim and have it dipped in one of his carbon patterns.  You will have the best of both worlds.

[Hogdgz]

Thaanks guys for the comments, think I am gonna go with a wood riser and probably the 14 inch riser instead of the 16.

I've shot both the wood and alum. and the alum. shot the best for me

[mahantango]

I've shot all three, and liked the carbon the least!

[Peckerwood]

I have owned all 3 and if the carbon riser was the exact copy of the standard riser that would be my choice. The carbon riser is a very solid quiet riser but is a little thicker at the throat and  little lower at the heel.

Now I have a 12 in. riser that has become permanently attached to my hand    . If I could get the 12 in. style in a 14 in. I would swap out all my risers.

I think A&H will let you try a riser so you can decide for yourself.
