Swapping limbs to Different length Schafer risers.Poundage Change and Fit?

[Steelhead]

I was wondering what the poundage change is  when swapping a set of limbs on a Schafer from a 15" to a 19 inch and 17" riser?

Also will the limbs match up pretty well as far as fit when using limbs built for one riser and switched to another riser that they were not specifically made for?

Thanks for looking!

Do not know about poundage change but I do know that the limbs are not interchangeable, each set of limbs are made for a specific riser so if you try to put them on another riser they may not fit correctly.

No idea about the interchangeability-Beth would know. The poundage would amount to about a pound per inch. I base that on my ACS and the old Bear TD. Ask Beth bet she knows that too.

Been my experience that they won't match up. Just what Danny said!!

The bolt holes will match, and the limbs will bolt up tight.  However, you may have more overhang of the limb butts over the limb beds toward the center of the bow, or they may not reach the end of the limb beds.  Regardless, it doesn't affect the way the limbs shoot, just the way they look on the bow.

I agree with Bjorn, you'll loose about a pound an inch, maybe just a tad more, going to longer risers.

Thanks for the responses!

It's true that they are fitted but I've had Dave fit my 57 lb limbs from a 17" riser onto a new 19" riser. He told me they would draw about 2 lbs less on the longer riser (as the others have said).  That was exactly my goal; to reduce the weight.  I never checked them but I'm sure he knew what he was talking about.  Worked out great......Rick.
