Well last week ordered a set of Samick bolt on limbs, cheap, $69, and finished up a Frankenstein bow. Was an old PSE Pulsar mag riser compound, limbs broke. $5 investment. I machined out the limb pockets to fit the new limbs, then filled up the pocket voids with caulking,redneck limbsavers dont you know. I made an aluminum plate and epoxied it in on top of the void with a slot machined out for the limb bolt, then glued on a cork pad under each limb. I filled the slight void on each side of the limb with 2 part putty epoxy, put release agent on the limbs and screwed them down, let set overnight. I then cleaned everything up painted her with grill paint, made a new string and put on a bear rest, wool puffs. I set the nock 1/4 inch high, and started flingin arra's. Well the #50 limbs picked up about #4 due to the straight angle of the limb pockets, but it is a hammer, and whisper quiet! Made a 62" strung bow, balances well and shoots extremely well, arrow is a bullet,not play whatsoever. This is the 5th one of these I have made, and though they wont win any beauty contest, they are shooter friendly, very sericeable bows that enable people to get in on the ground floor of trad shooting, for an economcial price. I usually sell them for about what I have in them, to get a new guy started. Just thought I would share.
