Epic 15" riser Limb Bolts

[Elmosaurus]

Mike,

Just curious, as I searched a bit and couldn't find anything.

What are the min/max settings on the limb bolts for the Epic Riser?

Want to make sure I don't back it out any more than 'X' and risk problems.

four turns from the bottom is the min and snug is max

[Elmosaurus]

Awesome, thanks!

One other thing; is there an approximate 'mid' point for brace height, as measured from the grip throat?

Brace Height depends on what limbs you are running on the bow. Most curves are going to be around 7 3/4 -8 and most longbows will be 7 1-2 - 7 3/4 with a 15" riser.

hmmm.... I'm using a pair of TradTech Black Max limbs.

When I try to increase brace height much past 7", the bow seems to be a bit 'overstrung'. Almost like it's unusually stiff immediately at the start of the draw curve.

I guess it's just the nature of these limbs to not want to be strung that tight on this riser.

Any thoughts?

7 is pretty low for a curve, but if that's where the limbs want to be so be it.

Sounds good. Thanks, Mike!

Elton, are they short limbs?

[Elmosaurus]

No, they're longs. It's that #40-19"pair that went back and forth between us a while back? It's the only pair I have to use. LOL.

Borrow another set of longs, to see if they run with a higher brace ok.
7" seems low, but hey.
I can send you a set of longs to compare.
