I am making three risers with varying pad angles to use for experimenting with limb designs...

I see no reason for having offset pins, other than maybe having more stability between the riser and limbs. BobLee bows have 2 pins.

Stick here is a trick I learned... Take the butt end of the drill bit you used to drill the holes or the pin that you are gonna use and put it in the drill and burnish the hole... Wiggle it around and put it into reverse and you will open things up about a thousandth... The pins will go in easy with no lube... Plus you burnish the wood which makes it a little harder...

After my limbs were drilled and doweled I would take the limbs off and run a .2505 reamer threw them.
Just the right size. Like this https://www.amazon.com/Diameter-Carbide-Tipped-Chucking-56552505/dp/B00CGVVXUM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=.2505+chucking+reamer&qid=1564960254&s=industrial&sr=1-1
Line them up in a straight line Shredd

Yeah I used a lot of different size reamers doing bell housings on diesel rebuilds. And you really need to have a solid setup with a reamer bushing to get it right. I usaly put the bit in some vise grips and turn it in the drilled hole until I get the right fit.
