Recurve limb alignment question

[jess stuart]

Nice looking riser.  Years ago I began adding hook to Binghams takedown, you can go to far very easily especially limbs with lower draw weights. I found out the hard way.

True Max a  stack of tolerances don't work   That limb gots lots of preload.

Absolutely Max if its built in wrong you might as well start over.

Thanks Jess its laminated walnut strips and hickory accents.

I've built several bows with this pattern, its just been a few years. It may be the last recurve I build and concentrate on take down longbows. My longbow is Kenny's design with a few riser changes.
