 Many of the 76ers I've examined have slightly twisted limbs. Both of mine were twisted right from the box. Just a slight twist.

2 out of my 3 have a slightly twisted limb.  I thought mabe the riser was to blame.  So you are saying this is normal for these bows? It is OK to keep shooting them with this?

It almost looks like they are pinned on. I really can't tell but see no evidence of a weld.

CR- Yes, you can shoot them without a problem unless they were seriously out of whack. Usually, they are just off by a visible but small amount. I don't even bother to hand straighten them. In fact, one pair is off by a small amount on my short riser but dead straight when put on my long riser. It just had to do with loose manufacturing tolerances, IMO.

To really get a great bow, try to find a hard plastic #2 grip that was made for the Polar compound. It's a perfect fit on the 76er risers and is the finest grip I've wrapped my hand around. However, I have small hands.

In the photo posted above, the green riser looks to have the R2 hard grip, my favorite.

Thought they looked like pins. Close up pic threw me off they looked like a small spot weld.

They are pins. About a 1/2" long. They have a little screw twist to them. You may need a little heat to remove.

Thanks for the info. I will have to find some old bear polar #2 grips as well.
