Title: Any bowyers do this?
Post by: DavidV on December 11, 2012, 07:58:00 PM
Are there any bowyers that make straight limbed longbows with risers other than the hill style? I'm picturing a foreward riser with a more contoured grip like a recurve.

Look at the Big Foot, I think it is the Flat liner...

Also, many of us make a deflex/reflex bow that is D shaped when strung and will have a contoured grip.
This is my Longwalker model,

Northern Mist makes a forward riser and a take down Straight limb bow.
