Very nice- that maple is awesome! Did you dye it or is it natural?

Thanks,they look better in person. The veneer is natural no dye. I was only able to shoot a couple of arrows yesterday with a 15" riser. They shot nice, there is a lot of preload..I used a 002/inch taper instead of my normal 003/inch taper. I plan on putting them on a 17" Morrison riser to use for 3D target shooting.

How would you rate the comparison of the .002 to the .003?

Monterey, Right at dark today I put the 002 limbs on my 13" morrison riser. I only shot it 12 times with 5575 gold tips. The limbs felt better than the couple of shots I took yesterday with the 15" trad tech riser. I just haven't had time to tune and shoot the limbs..
