Well, Bob put this riser on his site, and I couldn't help myself.  I couldn't pick the phone up fast enough.  This has got to be a disease.  We should have monthly meetings to help with the addiction.  Anyway specs are Mini 14 highly figured cocobola with same wood flare, high grip, dall sheep horn fingergrooves.  I have paired it with a set of C foam core longbow limbs that are backed with timber rattler skins, and chechen overlays.  The limbs are marked 49# @ 28", but are more like 51# @ 28".  I am shooting a 500 spine trad only shaft cut 29.5 with a 200gr. head.  It is absolutely smoking an arrow at 191 fps.  I have blown thru two does like hot butter.  

The other set of limbs are D carbon foam copperhead skinned that are 46# @ 28".  These also will smoke an arrow.

I was not so sure about the high grip, but am surprisingly liking it.  I usually shoot low grips on the Morrison's, but for some reason, I feel quite stable with this high grip.  Only time will tell, but I am not going to make a hasty decision about shaving the grip on this piece of wood.  

I am loving this bow.  It shoots great, and I never get tired of looking at it.  Hope you guys enjoy!

Wow, that is pretty.  Some wild grain in that piece of cocobolo!

Wowza Tom stunner right there. You say the limbs are 51 lbs. The ILF are adjustable in weigh I assume you have them as low as they will go?

Very beautiful. I took a look at his website. Can you explain the A and B and such on the risers? I've learned about ILF, but unsure what all that means!

Spurs:  I saw that Riser when it first came out, fell in love with it, too bad it wasn't left handed. One of the prettiest I've seen.  Congrats:  RW

Thanks for the kind words guys.  I have been excited about showing it off.

Tom, the limbs are marked 49# @ 28".  What I was saying is that they actually scale about 51# @ 28".  I do have them for all that they will do.  The ILF is adjustable usually down from the marked weight.  It is about a 5lb variance, so I guess I could get them to 44lbs.  I have grown quite fond of more wieght.  I will probably never go over 55, but my next limbs will definately be in the 50's.  I have debated selling the 46lb carbon foam copperheads because I don't ever shoot them except for 3D in summertime.  It amazes me the speed of these bows at these manageble poundages.

Jeff, the A is a sizing scheme.  The A is actually 13 inches, but Bob calls it a mini 14, the B is 15 inches I believe.  He has a chart on his site.  Then comes C and so on.  The same for limbs A - D etc.  The further down the alphabet, the longer the limb or riser.

Sorry I am ILF ignorant. Not sure why I was trying to help when I know little about them. Thanks for the lesson.

Tom,

Thanks a bunch! I'm looking for that chart. He's got some nice ones on there I really like>.
