Title: 56" forward riser mac ebony/bocote
Post by: chackworth3 on March 05, 2015, 11:37:00 AM

49@28 Maccassar ebony riser with bocote veneers. 56" forward riser design I have been messing with. It's smooth...and for you skeptics out there, yes it does snow in Texas in March   :scared:

Nice, Chris!! Very nice fit and finish there!   :thumbsup:  

Does the string contact the limb at all at the shot?

Not with the right brace height Kenny. It's a little low in the picture.

Jsweka, I'll try and get a full draw pic tomorrow sometime.

Quail- I used satin buffalo hide.

Thanks y'all
