Morning Steve.
Far more important do you enjoy shooting it?
Have you used limbs with ILF Fittings and just hardlocked them screw fitting at them end of the limb or have you used some ILF fittings or have you used limbs with plain hard lock (bolt down) type fittings?Samick steve wrote:... First attempt at a Samick Style riser ...

Re: New home made riser
Ive just used my sage bolt on Sage limbs and purchased the bolt inserts from our local CDE Eastland, but I will check part numbers etc tomorrow. Really want to build the next few risers around other limbs. Many little mistakes on the first one but really only used my jigsaw and beltsander. Titebond 3 was my glue and araldite to set the inserts. cant wait do make more of my own gear.
