Risers

Aside from the Bear Black Bear compound riser, what other risers will accept Samick limbs directly?Thanks in advance!

Maybe I should have asked does anyone own a recurve made from an older metal riser from a compound bow, and what brand and model did they start with?

[Yellah nocks]

Due to the obvious enthusiasm, as Emily Litella would say, "never mind."

The Black Bear riser is the only one I have experience with where recurve limbs bolt right up. There are a few others that are popular with the "WARF" crowd that convert them to be able to use ILF limbs.

Thank you for replying. I have no experience with these. I have been told that some of the black bears have a nice radiused shelf or a flat shelf that can be modded. I have also heard that removal of the limb locator tang with a dremel tool is needed, and that the limbs need shimmed on both sides with plastic pieces epoxied onto the riser pocket. The only other thing i have heard is to fill the voids in the pockets with JB Weld and then cover that with a piece of inner tube. Are these things so? Also that I will need 45 lb lumbs to make a 40 lb bow.

It's been 10 or so years since I got my riser and made up the bow. I'll check it out and send you an PM but I remember it being a pretty easy process.

You are fine, report to moderator not hit.

My buddy is a machinist and this riser was a little tricky because the limb pockets did not line up straight.

WOW. NICE LOOKIN BOW!

Thanks. Wife bought it for me and then I went back to stick bows and it was collecting dust and it's so sharp I decided to have my buddy convert it over to a stick bow. Shoots fantastic. Put Tradtech black max limbs on her.

Alright...that does it....anybody have one of those bb risers(or jennings lightning) sitting around with a radiused shelf?

[Yellah nocks]

Thanks for all the PM's on this subject. Gonna try it if I can find a riser.
