Ran across an old wood riser compound the other day, first thought looking at it was the riser  reminded me of a Howatt Hunter. Usually not too interested in compounds, but I got curious.
Martin Warthog.
Slight family resemblance..
Just wondering if those can be warfed, or if it,s more trouble than it's worth??

I wondered the same thing as I have my sons old riser. Built out of grey action wood with red stripe. They must have used a 4x4 piece as it is massive. I sent an email to a guy in CA. that makes conversions. He frequents another site. He said limb pad angle was not right and would need milling and shimming. About $200. For now I pasted. That is twice what it costs to have a metal riser done.

Yes.Had a Warthog with a bubinga riser that something broke on. Don't remember what as it was 30 years ago. Ordered a set of 55# limbs and bolted them on. With the different pad angle they pulled around 70#
Shot the bow for a couple of years

Martin actually made take down recurves off that riser years ago if I recall correctly.

I had a Warthog I gave away wish now I hadn't it had some possibilities.

I just brought back an old thread about a Takedown built on the Warthog riser...the bow in question was marketed by East Side Archery of Chicago and they called it a Nimrod

Lot of twists and turns! This one has the bubinga riser, it ain't no fly weight!.. Near as I can tell, also the same model bow used to blow up an outhouse in the original "Dukes of Hazard"..
Provenance...

Whoops!! Hazzard. Not Hazard...
