If possible can you show a pic assembled and strung so we can see the curves?

What year would you say this bow was built? 1970-72ish?

Post by: Grant Young on July 14, 2009, 09:38:00 PM: Congratulations Newell- I shoot a couple of old B risers myself and always loved the A risers. I still have one magnesium but my son is currently using it. You are right about the limb riser configuration A+@==58 inches. Congratulations again, Grant

Post by: Wade Phillips on July 15, 2009, 08:26:00 AM: Great looking first year A riser. They have long been my favorites of Fred's Risers. Great shooting too and have lots of flexibility with different limbs. The A is ideal for packing in luggage for those plane trips.

Speaking from experience, I have only ever found one bad thing about the first year A Risers... once you own your first one, you will want more!
