I was curious, about the Bear Take Down Risers...

What sizes were they made in "Riser Lengths"....

Thank you,

Risers were A (shortest, for hunting), B, and C (longest, for target shooters).

Limbs were #1 (shortest and the norm), #2 and #3.

An A riser w/ #1 limbs is A.M.O. 56", a B is 60". A C w/ #3 limbs will make a 70" bow

A riser:
#1 limbs = 56" AMO
#2 limbs = 58" AMO
#3 Limbs = 60" AMO

B riser:
#1 Limbs = 60" AMO
#2 Limbs = 62" AMO
#3 Limbs = 64" AMO

C riser:
#1 Limbs = 66" AMO
#2 Limbs = 68" AMO
#3 Limbs = 70" AMO

The C riser is 6" longer than a B.
