turned a compound into a recurve

[deadpool]

found my old parker buckshot riser, which I have been wanting to warf but never had the chance, until now!! I put a set of 63lb limbs on it and they worked like a charm, though the bow draw waaaaay heavier than listed!!

[deadpool]

Deadpool i think cabin fever has got you  

[red44]

Details man! Did you go ILF or direct bolt-ons? How long is the riser, what modifications did it take?

[deadpool]

oh i see you got jokes!!
haha!
not really much details red44, didn't take any mods, just got the limbs and bolted them to the bow, as for the riser it is a perfect 16" long.
just put the limbs on and shot as much as i could!

[red44]

What make of limbs? What did they come off?

[R H Clark]

You might want to wear safety glasses shooting it.Just be careful my friend.

[brettlandon]

Now all you need is that motorized mule.    
Good for you!  Keep working at it you'll grow into it, bad habits and all.  LOL

Is there just one bolt on the limbs? Do you at least have a pin or anything going from the riser into the limbs?

Your riser is set pretty far behind the limbs. I'm guessing that is why you are pulling so much weight.- Pup

Pool, can't you slack the limb bolts up a bit. The quarf I did allowed at least 10 pounds of adjustment. That would certainly make drawing the bow easier until you build up enough strength to lock them down.-Pup
