Plumber,

Mounting hardware is built into the limb that uses two allen bolts coming through the back of the riser to secure the limbs to riser.

Thanks for all the kind words,you guys are great!
I'm excited on the recurves I'm testing right now with the same design, soon to be available.

Very nice looking for sure, but there are two sides to every story, how does it shoot and how quiet is it. anybody put one threw a chrony yet ??
Title: Re: Hunter Bows 3piece Walnut
Post by: IdahoCurt on August 16, 2011, 08:57:00 PM
Howler,
Very good questions.
It is very quiet(bare string) with virtually zero hand shock, as for speed I have put my bows through a chrono and got high and low numbers,it was inconsistent on the one I used(friends old unit) so I purchased one and will provide that info shortly.
Most of my bows have gone to hunters and to them shoot-ability is more of a concern then speed but I have had positive feed back for both.
I will continue to experiment with different performance core materials other than carbon in the future to find out what the limit is with my design.
Archery is great,always room to try new things!

quiet and vib:  bow is very quiet and has almost no shock after the shot. the string doesnt even have cat whiskers on it and its more quiet then my beeler, more quiet then any of the bows i have or had.

speed: out of all the bows I have owned this one seems the fastest. deffinatly faster then my beeler and my 66" hybrid which was also a quick bow.  speed wise it is fast enough for me with my short draw. dont have to hold over very much at 30 yds and my arrows are around the 550gr area.  

i shoot this bow much better than the others i have owned or shot.
