Was curious on risers cut 1/8'' from center versus one that is cut 3/16'' past center?  

Pro's?  Cons?
I enjoy being a traditional archer!!

I have found a riser cut 3/16 past center will give you a larger variety of spines to choose from and is easier to tune.
Kanati Long Bow 56"-45#@27"
Hoot's Long Bow 56"-45#@27"
Shrew Classic Hunter 56"-47#@28"

Agree. Since my Blacktails are cut 3/16" past center; by changing point weights and adjusting the brace height, my 42# recurve can shoot the following aluminum arrows: 2114s, 2212s, 2213s, 2215s and 2117s.
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 10.02
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 37# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 11.37

my longbows and selfbows are cut 1/8-3/16" from center. They will take a lighter spine than my recurves of the same weight that are 1/8"-3/16" past center

Maybe its just me but I have to shoot a heavier spined arrow from a bow not cut past center,I must say only have one longbow.  :dunno:

Thanks for the info.  Has anyone found one is more accurate or forgiving than the other?
