how about some pics of your drill jigs, especially if you use a double pin system.

I use c-clamps but are a pain. I plan on mouning the long plate on plywood or a table and using destaco clamps.

Here is the one I use.  Very similar to Terry's except I use the same jig to drill both the limbs and the riser.  Drill one way for the limbs and the other way for the riser.  The stop blocks keep the limbs and riser in the same spot each time.
