    Now that's a damned good idea. One of those ideas that make you say "Now why didn't I think of that"?!?

    I'm just not a fan of those heavy risers that most take downs employ. I understand the reasoning behind them - I just don't like them. Much cleaner lines on the metal risers of the PSE and/or Hoyt take downs.

    What exactly is a riser?
    If it cant be done with one shot, it shouldn't be done.

    The riser comprises that part of the bow that you hold in your hand, and also that part of the bow that supports the limbs.

    Come on, a riser is that part of your anatomy that protrudes stiffly in the morning as you migrate through rem sleep. As Bowwalker described, that part you hold in your hands which supports the limbs. And it's normally wood.

    I have a PSE sierra hunter takedown with both 50 and 55 pound limbs. You can often find an old Hoyt riser and pickup a real nice set of limbs.

    I guess the fist question to ask yourself is do you want an aluminum or wood riser, the rest there after will follow naturally. If you really want to ask a large number of traditional archers about takedowns maybe check out Leatherwall. http://leatherwall.bowsite.com/TF/lw/THREADSx2.CFM
