Widow limb question
« on: January 03, 2013, 05:11:00 PM »
Anyone ever put SA limbs on a PSA riser?  Wondering if they'd fit...

Fom the Black Widow websight

When ordering limbs for an older handle, please remember that beginning in 2003 all limbs are “precision crafted” to much closer tolerances than previous limbs and handles. Consequently, you may not have a very good cosmetic fit of new limbs on your old handle. We can improve the fit (we can’t make it perfect, but we can make it better) by re-sizing and refinishing your old handle. Although we can still make PMA and PSA limbs with wood riser sections, there are some advantages to the phenolic risers for you to consider. We suggest calling us before ordering LIMBS ONLY for older MA or SA handles.

I would say that they would fit, but may or may not "look" right.

I have an SA riser that, when I had it refinished at BW they reworked it to accept the PSA limbs.  Never tried SA limbs on a PSA Riser.

I have done it, The bow was shootable. SA's were shaped by hand so the only thing was the fit was not perfect. There was a little overhang on one side of limb and the SA limb didn't have the Phenolic wedge in it so it didn't match color wise with the PSA riser.

I have a set of SA limbs that were reworked to PSA standards. In my case, the SA riser is slightly wider than the limbs, so the they don't line-up perfectly, but performance is not a factor. I assume the SA limbs would overhang the PSA riser a little, but should shoot fine.
