Default I need a favor...

I'm laying out how to build me a nice bow-rack. I want it to hold the bows by the riser, with the stabilizer pointing up, instead of having the bows hang by the string. I was thinking about donating one or two for our bowfishing club, so I want them to be made for other bows as well.

What I need from you guys (whoever will do this) is to measure your riser, from where it meets the limbs on both ends. This is where the pegs will go on my rack. If there are too many different sizes, then I'll just make it to average length and let people hang their bows however they hang best.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Like this one is about 17".

"Measure your riser." Heh heh, that sounds funny.

My Equalizer is 26.5" to the limbs on the belly side.
