kuch

what's the highest poundage?

D.Sheppard

If they were like the "76er" there were 4 weights.

Light    25-30#
Medium   30-35#
Heavy    40-45#
Xtra Hvy 45-50#

kuch

the heavy or extra heavy would be a nice bowfishing rig. are those limbs rare?

kuch

does anyone make replacements?

kuch

i talked my left handed buddy out of a RH minuteman riser that i am going to refinish....But i need limbs???

kuch

can the minuteman limbs and 76er limbs be used on either riser? if not why ...what is the difference?thanks for the info.

d. ward

minuteman limbs have wooden corewood and the 76er is solid glass limbs but I think the risers are the same ????? bd

kuch

that is what i thought. they look interchangeable to me...whywould bear make them look the same but not interchangeable???

inrut

The riser is the same except for the band that goes around the limb at each end of the riser. The Minuteman has a thicker fadeout wedge in the limb butt. Limbs are not interchangeable without changing the band to match the limb type.

d. ward

I'd agree with you about the limb butt thickness because of the wood corewood in the minute man bd

The limb space on the 76 er riser is about 3/8" and the space for the minuteman is about 1/2". The limb keeper mount is also on a different angle on the minuteman. The 76 er has almost no angle to it. Send me a pm if you would like some pictures of the to together. Larry

The risers are not the same due to the limb pocket differences. I don't think that anyone makes replacement limbs for them, BUT, since it is such as simple limb end design I would think that a bowyer could rework his limbs to fit into it.
