Title: Riser length
Post by: mark Willoughby on January 25, 2016, 07:23:00 PM

Hey guys I'm about to order all the stuff to glue up my first bow
Question is I made my own riser it is 12 inches from fade to fade I'm shooting for a 66 inch bow would my riser be ok or do I need a longer one ? Thanks in advance

Hard to say. What type of bow are you making?  With that short of a riser, I'm thinking you are making a Hill style longbow.
