Title: RE-Worked Red Wing Hunter Riser
Post by: tippit on October 27, 2019, 01:34:11 PM: Getting ready to head to our Aiken, SC farm for the winter and some hog hunting on my lease in Georgia. So I decided to try one of my Red Wing Hunters this year...but the riser is so fat. Solution diet with my knife grinder and a little elbow grease...tippit

Top is regular Red Wing Hunter/ Bottom is re-worked riser...

Re-Worked Riser smaller with palm swell, radiused arrow rest, and, thumb groove...

A great looking modification.

Post by: Kelly on October 28, 2019, 02:22:35 PM: Looks good, Jeff but I prefer the grips like they came from the factory but that's me. The 1962(which both of yours are with Brazilian Rosewood handle) thru 1966(which had a similar shaped Bubinga handle) had the best grips IMO and were very smooth drawing and great shooters.

Post by: tippit on October 30, 2019, 12:02:54 PM: Ted & Kelly,
Actually I was thinking of you guys...but I didn't want y'all to miss your winter snow. Just concerned about your health...would probably be just too hot in southern Georgia to chase hogs.
