I build them for SXT, ZSR limb width or Standard, Extreme limb width. What ever the customer wants.

I have 4 really good antlers to make risers out of. I just have not gotten around to it.   :dunno:

Yep, I cut the Elk horn risers past center just like the wood risers. There is no need to worry about the strength on the Elk antler its self because they are reinforced in side. There has only been 18 of these risers built over the years.They are a time consuming to build.
