Bacote Riser with take-down sleeves.

 

closer view

 

front view of riser/sleeve. Note that this riser, with the sleeve, is very thick compared to the usual Hill riser. It immediately felt like the most comfortable flatbow riser I have yet encountered. I love it, and if I have Craig make me another custom, I will see if he can do a regular wood riser to the same dimensions without the sleeve.

 

Rear view. I don't think you get any further center cut with this set up, but you do get a wider arrow ledge.

 

 

Sleeve taken down. Works really, really slick!

 

Bacote tip

 

So, OK... you gotta shoot it. Two arrows to warm up (both me and dthe bow... I hadn't shot yet today), then this was the next six...

 

and the six after that... These are Eason Legacy 1916's, cut to 26 1/2" with 145 gr. tips. They might be just a hair stiff yet. I have some 1816's coming and will try those. Could try 165 gr. tips on these, too. Needless to say, I'm delighted!

 

Here's what a Hill take-down is all about... grab the quiver and go shooting!

 

This bow was ordered from Craig on March 14, and delivered today, April 12. I can't speak highly enough of Craig's craftsmanship and service.
