Check your pads for square with side of riser block. If you don'=t have a good drill jig, you can put the insert in the center of riser best you can in the right place from end, drill the limb for the 5/16 bolt, bolt them on and string from tip to tip and adjust for alignment, then drill thru limb and into riser, then put an overlay on back of limb to cover the pin hole.

Thank you as this is the way ill be doing it :biglaugh: I did not pre drill :banghead:
and still have an original flat 90 deg surface to reference from on the opposite side of the arrow rest
cheers all

It reviews well , I'm making my first out of solid Maple as a test to work my bugs out ! I suppose it would make more sense to keep it as a block with pads cut & hardware on as to make it easer for precision drilling !

do you use 5/16" dowels ?

Yes... Clamp it to the table on it's side... Tried using the drill press, the holes were accurate but it was a PITA... I tried drilling with a hand held drill but my holes were off a tad... I now use a 1 1/2" block of wood in unison with the jig and a hand held drill and I get precise holes...

Ritchie, I have a centering jig that I think I used once. Wasn't useful for anything I was doing. Be happy to donate it to your cause if you can use it.

Thanks Flem... That is about as light as it gets... The color can vary... This is actually my first finished take-down... I did not want to get too complicated... I wish I would have put a smaller radius for the accents though... That would have put them a little more center in the riser...

I did it the same way with either bingham jig, self centering jig as shown.
got tired of all that a few years ago invested in a used mill/drill for about 800.00 bucks.
rigged up with a DRO and I can drill pads to exact specs each time.
the mill also is good for flycutting pads, and wedge are of limbs.
