Riser pad Angle
« on: December 13, 2014, 09:46:00 PM »
What is the best riser pad angle..? Have built a couple 3 piece bows and made the riser limb pads at 7' dgr.  The norm is 11dgr I think.  The 7dgr seem to work for me what's your guy's take on that.

I don't think there is a best pad angle. Whatever works best for your limb design to get a good preload at brace. Trail and error proto typing gets you there.

Can you show your limb profile? are you talking hybrid  d/r limb or recurve.
