I like the Dorado riser too, but I could never find a used one at a good price, and the Hoyt dealer told me that they could not order just the riser. So I went with the Hoyt Excel, I get a new riser alot cheaper than I can find a used Dorado bow or riser. Excels are ILF, so no changing hardware or sanding limbs either. The 21 incher is 2 inches longer than a Dorado riser and now they even come in the blackout color. The best part, I can put some really good quality limbs on it. As you have discovered Adam, these Hoyt risers will flat out shoot with the right limbs on them.
