Title: A Hybrid / Hybrid
Post by: T Folts on November 18, 2011, 07:22:00 PM
So we talk about hybrid longbows and if you look at them the risers for the most part look like a slimed down recurve. So I am thinking the one thing I like about the recurve is the riser, grip and mass weight. So what about a recurve riser with R/D longbow limbs. Does anyone make such a bow. I think I will.

Yep tons of bowyers make them. Several with any style of grip you want.

God bless and have fun, Steve

Like Steve sez Lots. I dont think longbow limbs care what riser you put them on. Sky is the limit. Just browes the sponsors pics.

I am building them on a reverse riser , Mounted on the belly. Exactly the same riser I build for my Talon 11 recurves.

Chuck I've built a few differnt risers but not quite that shape, kinda in between or slimmed down. I have a good slimed down patten I really like I was looking at something different for mass and look.
