The riser is hollow, and you pack it full of burgers. Then when you are out hunting, you hit the berger button and out pops a burger..  :)

LOL.. It's a spring loaded adjustable side pressure plunger. Used to move the arrow left or right for proper alignment and the spring tension adjusts for getting good arrow flight.

This is my old bear takedown.

Nice try with the Burger load.  :laughing:   What a strange name, must of been a guy by the name of Berger. Bells and whistles for the rest of us I guess.

Actually a guy by the name of Berger shot back to back 300 rounds in a competition with the button and I believe that's how it got it's name. But don't quote me on that.
