So, I am assuming you guys use a jig to align the riser and limbs and positioning the limb bolt receivers, etc. Would you please post some pics of your TD jigs? Thanks, David

I use a self centering doweling jig- you still have to check the center with this but it works fairly well.

Trux, did you buy this jig? If so, where did you get it? Looks like it would work great!

I have heard of others that have used it and the holes got wallowed out but that has not happened with the one I have.
