Micarta and/or phenolic risers seem to be about as bomb-proof as you can get (I have seen that they are not 100% foolproof though), but the added weight turns me off bigtime. Guess that is one of the reasons I prefer a longbow.

CaptJack, have you talked to Bob or know him? I was wondering why he doesn't warranty his bows if you use "high performance" (Fast Flight, Dynaflight, 450+, etc.) strings. I have been meaning to ask him myself, but haven't taken the time to do it.
