I looked at these at the 2002 AMO Show this past Jan.
I think the idea to reduce weight is good but for the life of me I don't see how you won't get any limb shift from this design...JMHO...Anybody shooting Kodiak bows that can give us any information?.....

The old Golden Eagle Vision, Their first attempt at a machined riser had the same sort of "pocket". The limbs shifted constantly. You could rap your fisst on the side of the limb and feel it shift.
They look like nice bows, but no thanks, I don't want any skimping around the limb pocket.

My father has a wood riser Darton circa 1980(?). The pivot point and the limb bolt hold the limb in place. There is no movement. This is also like the Browning Afterburner.

Not to harp on the subject, but so did the Vision. The problem is tolerances. Even my 2001 Hoyt Vortec ahd the same problem. Out of tolerance a little bit, and the limbs shift. Next year Hoyt introduced a pocket that cured the problem totally.
If a limb bolt fork/hole is just a bit wider or narrower than spec (and even moreso if the two limbs are both not exactly the same) when it's cut, the limbs is going to shift. Since these things have a tolerance level as well, any pocket that is not capturing the limb on both sides for a couple of inches at the least (which the Afterburner does, since each limb half is sandwiched on each side) runs the risk of this situation.
