Todd,
It is my understanding that Bob doesn't use them because he feels his risers are too small in cross section to allow the 1/8" of material at the closest part of the handle after shaping. That is a requirement that I feel is very important. Check out my website,
WWW.Warrenarchery.com, and you will see all the requirements for new and retrofit applications.
Thanks for the good words from the rest that have responded to this thread and JRY309, over 50 lbs is ok with most good laminates like Dymondwood, Action Wood, and even better with solid linen phenolic.
If it can be done, considering the size of the handle section, Ted Fry will do a good job.
Finally, I am supplying rubber caps and plugs to protect the male and female threads and to keep dirt out while the bow is apart with all new Bow Bolts. If anyone needs a set, I will be happy to send them at no charge except for the shipping. Just contact me, preferably via e-mail, with your address and size of Bow Bolt installed in your bow.
Have a Happy New Year,
Craig
