What is the proper distance from the center of a riser to the top of the shelf? I trying to make r a 17" riser for three fingers under. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Well I make my bows with equal length limbs, so the center of the bow is the center of my riser. I measure up 1 1/2 inches from center for the arrow shelf.
Thanks Roy. That's about where I put mine now. I thought about lowering the shelf closer to my hand. I'm not sure how that will effect the tiller +/- :dunno:
Mine are equal length also, with bow center where the web of hand is. I go 1 to 1.25 up for shelf, but I like my arrow close to my hand.
I make my bows equal also. I grip the handle and mark the arrow pass right on top of my hand. That is about 1" to 1.5" above center.
