Wedge question

[Savage]

I was looking at the wedge on Binghams design and it seems the flat part is against the riser. Alot of other bows have the tapered side to the riser. Does anyone have an opinion of why this is done and are there any advantages to either way?

I make the same style of wedge... I think it is a individuals style of making his or her type of wedge or bow.
I like there style,so I can mount the limb bolt flush with the top of the wedge.So I don't have to deal with the taper.
Somebody here with more experience can answer better than I.

You are gonna obviously need a flat section to mate to the riser limb pad, but other than that, I think it's just asthetics.

Thanks Marty. From looking at it, it seems to angle the base of the limb slightly more toward the belly side of the bow. Will this effect the performance of the bow at all?
