What to do........riser cracked.......?
« on: April 27, 2016, 03:26:00 PM »
Was out shooting my Morrison ILF [15"] riser with my Dryad Static limbs and I saw something that looked funny at the top of the riser. Looks to be a crack...   :scared: ...  right at the end. Had my wife look at it and she said....yep it's cracked. Not sure what to do......fill it with super glue, file it out and epoxy.......or just retire the riser. What's your thoughts..........   :dunno:

First thing I think you should do is call Bob and see what he recommends.  Pics would help also.

I should mention.....I bought this riser used from the classifieds a while ago and have no real idea how old it is.

I would still call Bob and tell him what you have...he may have a good idea about how you might repair it...he is an easy guy to talk to

Sent an E-mail to Bob to get his opinion. If it turns into a wall hanger, so be it.
