Locket Socket
« on: October 21, 2015, 11:16:00 AM »
Do any of you  know if a Big Jim style locket Socket can be added (presumably by him) to an existing bow?

If I remember correctly, he makes a pretty much finished one piece and then cuts it in two and does the socket. That's why I am asking.

Thanks!

I've heard talk of some doing it... but...

I don't think he does... usually because the riser is built "reinforced" before turning into a takedown...  and most wouldn't or couldn't hold the stress...

Twigflicker hit it on the head. Be glad to build you a new bow with one in it though.
