can you still get the limbs for these ? what was the highest poundage? my buddy has two risers but no limbs....appreciate any info. thanks.
-
There was a set on the big auction site. It may have ended by now.
-
what's the highest poundage?
-
If they were like the "76er" there were 4 weights.
Light 25-30#
Medium 30-35#
Heavy 40-45#
Xtra Hvy 45-50#
-
the heavy or extra heavy would be a nice bowfishing rig. are those limbs rare?
-
does anyone make replacements?
-
i talked my left handed buddy out of a RH minuteman riser that i am going to refinish....But i need limbs???
-
can the minuteman limbs and 76er limbs be used on either riser? if not why ...what is the difference?thanks for the info.
-
minuteman limbs have wooden corewood and the 76er is solid glass limbs but I think the risers are the same ????? bd
-
that is what i thought. they look interchangeable to me...whywould bear make them look the same but not interchangeable???
-
The riser is the same except for the band that goes around the limb at each end of the riser. The Minuteman has a thicker fadeout wedge in the limb butt. Limbs are not interchangeable without changing the band to match the limb type.
-
I'd agree with you about the limb butt thickness because of the wood corewood in the minute man bd
-
The limb space on the 76 er riser is about 3/8" and the space for the minuteman is about 1/2". The limb keeper mount is also on a different angle on the minuteman. The 76 er has almost no angle to it. Send me a pm if you would like some pictures of the to together. Larry

thanks guys
-
The risers are not the same due to the limb pocket differences. I don't think that anyone makes replacement limbs for them, BUT, since it is such as simple limb end design I would think that a bowyer could rework his limbs to fit into it.
