Title: Limb angle on TD Risers
Post by: R. W. Mackey on January 22, 2015, 10:15:00 AM
Just wondering is there any type of rule to determine the
Limb angle on TD Risers. Would it make a difference for
Bow length, poundage, RC vs. HYB ect.
  Have seen 17 deg. mentioned, seen one at 18.25 deg, now
That's getting down pretty fine.
  Thanks for any advice.

i personally use my method for this angle thing.

i put the bow handle on the ground and looks for the limb's nock places. the imaginary line between those nocks are little over the top part of the handle then the angle is correct. at least this works for me.

clear enough?

I understand what your saying, but for the sake of consistency, there must be some sort of guideline to go by.
  Thanks for your comment.

Hey RW,
My TD lb likes 12 , first one was 14 but needed more preload. Quicker and quieter too at 12

Actual angle will be dependent on limb shape. But I agree with ink, I like the nocks to be ahead of the back of riser 1-2"

So far I've done mine at 7 using a straight limb profile with 3-4" of reflex.   Wouldn't a greater angle cause the bow to stack sooner...?      :dunno:    ..... but then i guess it depends all on design.
