Riser Configuations

Venator

Venator is a Latin word meaning hunter and is our Standard Riser Configuration.

*Includes Aiming Accents

Mass Examples:

"Wood" 61" Prana: 26oz

G10 61" Prana: 38oz

"Wood" 63" Prana: 29oz

"Wood" 68" Rift: 27oz

Sthira (+$150)

Sthira is the Sanskrit word that is often translated as “strength” or “steadiness." The Sthira is our most balanced Riser Configuration. The increased mass in the lower section of the Riser acts as a Stabilizer.

*Includes Aiming Accents.

Mass Examples:

Micarta 63" Prana: 36.5oz

G10 63" Prana w/ Bolt: 48oz

Inertia (+$150)

More of a Target-Style Riser, this upgrade greatly increases a bow’s mass, creating a high Moment of Inertia, which makes a bow more difficult to torque.
Inertia Risers can be cut 1/8" past center to accommodate large-diameter arrows.

**Aiming Accents Not Present in Inertia Risers

Mass Examples:

68" Rift: 45.25oz

61" Prana: 48.50oz

Add-ons

Black G10 Riser (+$200)

Twill Carbon (+$100 per Bow Face)

Jade (Natural) G10 Riser (+$100)

G10 makes a great riser material. G10 has exhibits greater rigidity and greater density than Linen Micarta. Also, G10's flexural strength (lengthwise and crosswise) is more than 3 times greater.

*Sometimes the fiberglass isn’t completely saturated with resin during the manufacturing process which can lead to the white fibers being subtly visible.

Jade (Natural) G10 Riser (+$100)

Twill Carbon (+$100 per Bow Face)

Jade (Natural) G10 Riser (+$100)

The Jade (Natural) G10 is slightly less dense than Black.

Calculated Specific Gravities: ~1.89 Jade vs ~2.10 Black

Twill Carbon (+$100 per Bow Face)

Replacing Glass with Twill Carbon on the Back and Belly of the Bow has multiple benefits. Before the first arrow even hits the target, an archer will notice a reduced amount of handshock. This allows an archer to run lighter arrow setups and really reap the benefits of the Carbon. On the second and third shots the Archer may notice that he/she is grouping tighter, this is due to the increased limb stability the Carbon provides.

A Carbon-Backed, Glass-Bellied Bow will generate the highest velocities by a few FPS.

The velocity differences are negligible when comparing Carbon-Carbon and Glass-Glass Faced Bows.

*In Carbon Backed and Bellied Longbows, the Draw-Force Cycle stiffens up sooner; an archer considering Carbon may want to gravitate towards a longer bow.

*Carbon not available on Receptions.

Warren Bow Bolt Takedown Option (+$300)

Requires Linen Micarta or G10 Riser

Pb (Lead) Slugged Riser (+$200)

Adding Lead Slugs to the Inertia (3 Slugs) and Sthira (2 Slugs) Risers.

Each Slug adds approximately 8oz, accounting for the displaced G10.

Colored G10 Accents (+$75 Venator Riser, +$100 Sthira and Inertia Risers)

Colorful G10 accents give your custom bow an added flair. Available in: Blue, Natural, Neon Green, OD Green, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red, Tiffany Blue, Yellow.

*Glass Accents are included in our Base Price.

Thumb Rest (+$75)

Thumb Rests provide a larger grip platform, especially

beneficial on Longbows with a narrower format.

Flared Riser (+$100)

*limited availability

Feathered Limbs (+$100)

Dual Nocks (+$150)

Feathered Limbs (+$100)

Great for newcomers to the sport or youth, looking to increase poundage. (Recommended on Receptions)

Composition

Wedged Riser

A Wedged Riser (the riser is contained within all limb laminations) creates a more rigid riser, which reduces hand-shock and transfers more energy into the arrow. It also negates the risk, sometimes taken by other bowyers, of any belly laminations lifting off the riser due to being ground through and insufficient adhesion.

Aiming Accents (Venator and Sthira Risers)

Angled Sight-Window Accents can be used as elevation reference, or "pins" for those coming from the compound world. The above photo is an example from my 2020 hunting setup.

*Many Variables will play a role in how accents and yardages may coincide; the above photo is just an example.*

**If you plan to use your bow in competitions where accents like these may be against regulations, let me know and we can modify your build; these accents are not visible in Inertia Risers.**

Center-Cut, Radiussed , Narrowed, and Beveled Shelves

Center-Cut, Radiussed, Narrowed, Beveled Shelf reduces feather interference, and makes a bow less susceptible to "improper" bow-arm behavior and pre-ignition movements .

Limb Cores

Matched Vertically Laminated Bamboo

Drawlength/Poundage Standards

AMO Standards are used for determining Drawlength/Poundage using the theoretical vertical projection of a tangency line to the pivot point parallel to the string plus 1.75" method.

This standardizes drawlength, the force an archer experiences at full-draw, and alleviates discrepancies in drawlength/poundage due to riser design among bow manufacturers.

*Scaling a Bow by drawing an arrow 28" to the back of the Bow are likely being drawn ~1.25" over this AMO Standard, will create a ~3# greater measurement than marked.
