Frankenbow...Best bow risers to start with?
« on: January 15, 2025, 11:24:51 PM »
I know I've seen threads about this but my searches do not produce what I was looking for. (Compound riser and recurve limbs).

What compound bows work best for such a project? Thank for your time.

Bear Black Bear compound riser with Samick Sage limbs.  I was so impressed how well it shot I hunted with mine in 2021 and killed the buck in the picture at 30 yards. I have another Bear Black Bear compound riser and Samick Sage limbs to build another Frankenbow when I find the time.

Hoyt Rambo riser, real simple and a great riser in itself. Wish I still kept mine

Like RAMJET said, the Bear Black Bear riser with sage limbs.  Pretty good combo and easy to assemble.  The hard part is finding the riser, and a lefty was hard for me to find.

How close on the weight of the limbs does the bow turn out using the Black Bear riser?
If it isn't life or death, it's no big deal.

Normally, you lose about 5# from advertised limb weight.  You can also use a Bear Whitetail II riser with sage limbs.  Not sure about weight loss.

I have a Warf from a hoyt/easton ram hunter and i got an ilf milled aluminum insert coupled with a cheap pair of used Das limbs with bamboo core.  Shoots so nice Im reverse engineering it into a one piece recurve form
