Anyone know if a Jennings Carbon Extreme compound riser is warfable?

What is this Warfing you speak of?


B
Spinning faster round the pole. Soon to old from chasing gold. Young hands wrinkle, hearts to stone. Dust to dust and ashes cold

You can build a servicable bow out of most risers.However to use ilf limbs the limb pad angles ect need to be close to the range they work best at.Sometimes when things are off too far it is just more work than it is worth to wind up with a below average performing bow.That is not one of the 3 risers normally use for warfing but without pictures and knowing limb pads angles ect. it is hard to know if it is worth messing with.Maybe someone will come along that has built one or rejected that riser for one reason or another and help you out.

Brian Warfing refers to useing older compound risers and adapting them to use ilf recurve limbs.It was coined and made popular by Bob Gordon several years ago when shorter risers that use ilf recurve limbs were not available like they are today.

This is a typical Warf built from the Bear/Jennings riser.This was my first Warf.

The angle on your limb pads need to be under 20degrees, preferabbly 15 degrees from 90. I align the sight holes on a riser at 90degrees clamped in a vise, then use an angle guide to check the angle of the limb pads. I have warfed a high country supreme compound, and two Hoyt banshee youth compounds that our 4H club had, they wouldnt stay together, kept blowing cables after 100 shots, saftey issue! I put on #25 and#30 Pse Polaris recurve limbs, ground them to fit limb pockets and clear coated, centerest adjustable rest to get true centershot, made a string for them and they shoot great. Also have a little wider brace height so they are very forgiving. Like PSU bowhunter said, trad talk and some links there can help a lot. I have made some great shooting bows for very little money, actually had some archery shops give me old risers to get them out of the way, then buy some good quality limbs to add to them, a lot of people useQuinn limbs, that is called a Quarf! Hope this helps, PM me for more info if needed.
