Title: 1,000 Riser Pictures
Post by: highPlains on October 13, 2010, 04:58:00 PM
I hope this is okay to post here.

Just for references sake I uploaded all the bows that I take pictures of onto an album. I know there are some fellow bow lovers out there who just like to look at pictures like me...just cause.

If you're a bow builder and you're looking for profile ideas, or if you are looking for the wood combination you want in your next riser, then you might enjoy seeing all the different riser pictures. There are not many pictures of the full strung profile - just mostly risers.

I'll add more as they come in.

HighPlains,
What a terrific collection of pictures!  I really like some of them and would love to know:

1. What the woods are.
2. Who makes the bow.

I don't suppose there's a way, on the site to determine these two things is there?

Thanks

No there is no way to know those things just by looking at that album.

I might be able to help you on some of them with the woods. Not many of the used bows came to me with that information. But I have documentation of the woods on a lot of the bows that came to me new. So it depends on the bow. I'm usually a decent guess though   ;)  

I know the maker of most of the bows on there by sight, so if you're curious just Email me the picture and I'll do my best to tell you.

Thanks. I'll look again.  If there's something I'd like to know more about I'll PM the picture number if that's ok.
