All good advice except for one thing. Art meant he'd rather have a deflexed riser rather then reflexed. He knows what he meant. Probably just had a brain fart long the way.
More like mental diarrhea. [8D]Thanks for getting my back, BG!
Whitetail, the bow in your avatar is a reflexed riser. The grip is behind a line drawnbetween the pivot point in the limb pockets. The grip is in front of that line on a deflexed riser. With the reflexed riser, you are pulling on the cam ends of the limbs and trying to keep the riser ends of the limbs pushed in the same plane. Themore reflexed the riser, theharder it is tokeep the limbs lined up with the direction of the shot and the easier it is to induce torque.
With a deflexed riser, the entire limb is being pulled in the same line. It's very hard to torque the limbs out of alignment with the line of the shot.
