I know a lot of guys have gone to using CNC for risers and maybe even limbs too? Which makes total sense I'm sure it knocks the work time in half. But are any big time guys still shaping their risers by hand? Not that it matters I've just been curious about this lately.

Tom Parsons at KimSha Archery does all his shaping by hand on his one piece longbows, no CNC. He doesn't do very many, if any, takedowns anymore as far as I know, but the care involved in order to avoid mistakes should be universal.

I think most of them still do everything by hand using jigs and profile sanders. CNC's are expensive and then you need to purchase the drive's and install on your computer and be able to program it yourself. I can only think of
3-4 Bow companies that are using them that are using them.
