Just curious - The ILF riser has considerably more deflex than the Orion Bolt-Down yet the Orion Bolt down is braced significantly higher than the ILF.

Note: The previous version Orion riser appears to be a moderate reflex design where the lastest Orion version riser is a slight deflex.

This is an uninformed inquiry that may be quite obvious to others.

Please educate me?

Scott,

The two risers are very simular with the Orion having about .200 less forward push (reflex).  They should be braced at the same height but we were short on strings and made do with what we had.

Wow it's amazing how far the reach is of these websites.  Just got an order from Hungary for a riser and RC limbs.

So, since these are being made with the ACS design does that mean the limb laminations are those with the thinner curved cross-section?

Burnsie,

The limbs are molded into the ACS cross section.  The outer limbs are very thin.

Wow, with it shooting flamming arrows like that, all you need to do is dip the feathers in sweet baby rays BBQ sauce and a pig shot with that bow will be ready to eat as soon as you walk up to it.

Hi Mike
So with the new Orion riser it is available with both the new ACS recurve & the ACS long bow limb as well or are they different risers for each bow.

Looks like a real Texas bow, boy, I am stampeding   ;)  No joking, with the limbtips so much in front of the handle when unbraced the bows must have a lot of prestress and a heavy drawforce curve. Looking forward to Blackie`s bow report. Nice work. Bue--.

I just got a set of medium recurve limbs from Mike for a 15" Dryad riser and I was saying that I don't need any more bows.  Now this.  Why do you have to do this to a guy?

Yep built here in Texas by Jason and me.

You can get the new Orion in a 13, 15, or 17" riser and all four limbs fit all of them.  It's a bolt-down with a lot of the flexibility of the ILF.  You just have to get it all from us.  LOL
