I am not sure I understand this question.

What is a limb pad? Is this a pad that goes between the limb and riser?

the limb pad is where the limb bolts to the riser in a TD design. usually a longbow would have a more shallow limb pad (10 deg. or so) because the limbs are straighter

i wanted to know a good angle that could work for recurve and LB limbs so i can use the same riser
