Concave limb pad.

If you should make a riser with a concave limb pad like Asbell’s Bighorn recurve, how would you make a drilling jig for riser and limbs. I can’t figure it out. In drawing curve is tighter than it will be in a riser.

Top concave to drill limbs.
Bottom side for riser
Center hole would need to be 5/16" and then enlarge the holes later or have 2 jigs



I never made this, just a drawing, 2 jigs
I was going to use 2 flat head screws or 1 normal hardware for T/D
Dowels need to be parallel
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

It would not be perfect.
You could make it if you scratch you head enough  :laughing:

As long as you keep the line on each side of the bolt hole and same distance each way. You can drill all from one side keeping the same side down.

Hmmmmm.....  Has anyone ever used a bolt and a slot in limb and riser with a steel piece cut off a thick washer kinda like the biscuit joining technique in furniture?  Only one hole to drill that way... :goldtooth:
Stay sharp, Kenny.
