Title: Pronghorn T/D longbow owners??
Post by: longrifle on February 06, 2014, 12:22:00 PM
Was wondering if you guys could tell me how long your risers are?? Is there just one length or are there several depending on the length of the bow? Thanks

There are several depending on what you want, as far as a sight window. I have had 2 TDs with the same limbs, 2 different length risers. One made a 58" bow. the other a 60".

Herb does make one riser that is a little shorter for his 58" bows.

All of mine are 60 and 62" and they have the same riser length.

Longer riser 14 3/4 inches overall 9 1/2 inches center of bolt to center of bolt, short riser is 2 inches shorter. As far as I know Herb only makes two lengths of risers? I could be mistaken.

That is correct.

Why do you want this? Are you trying build one?

Yes I like the looks of his bows and thought of trying to make one but didn't know where to start. This kind of gives me a direction to go , thanks guys for the help.

Ferret if you mean selling , I can't say that I would never sell one but, I have made a few bows all for myself and it takes waaaay to long to make any money doing it. Now I know why bows cost $1000, and that's not counting all the money the pros have in equipment. I am no threat to professional bowyers.
