Close up of the adjustable centreshot screw:


Kaya kStorms mounted - you can see the limb wedge is very flat, so I've got the bolts fully turned in (and slim strips of rubber on the riser under the limbs.)


Mounted - all is straight and true:

 

And the final money shot


Now for some Hex-7 limbs!!

 

I couldn't agree more except mine would have referenced the Dorado riser. I've had just about all of them and preferred the Dorado riser to all I've tried--but it wasn't ILF. Jonhdo took care of that in impeccable fashion.

After all these years, I now have what I consider my perfect all around ILF riser.

 

I'm glad it worked out good for you.

 

The limb pocket

 

Couple of beautiful risers there guys, nice job JONHDO

 

Oh man....I can see I am going to be looking for a Dorado riser now.


Good Shooting>>>>>>>Craig

 

Looks great

 

Haha thanks Jim - it almost got ILF but for now it's staying as my bolt down long bow and loving it!

 

When is Hoyt going to listen to people and offer these risers in ILF? For Pete's sake, you think they would of listened by now.

That is a great looking conversion. I love the Dorado riser and GM risers.

 

Reason? Sales. I wish they would too, but thanks to Jonhdo, and folks like him, it's not an issue now. :^)

Given the quality of his work and the turn-around-time (he really gets with the program. That's a joke between me and Loc), I'd just as soon have him do it as Hoyt.

Anyone want to buy a RH 19" Morrison Gen3 riser? I've got one in the classifieds. :^)

 

I wish I could have known Johndo back in april of 2012. I had a hoyt supreme that I loved. I was told to forget it. Then sometime later it came along as the mother of all warfs.. Go figure. Johndos' work is tops! Everybody knows it.

Johndo did a Dorado for me as well, great work, great guy.

 

I always liked the GMaster and Dorado risers. Nice jobs.

 

How far past center are the sight windows on the Dorado and GM II? Anyone know right off the top of their head?

 

Who is this guy? Contact info? Prices?

 

5/16" past center--I think.

Jonhdo, is his handle. You can PM him thru the members list at the top of the page, or he may contact you. He's been watching this thread.

 

Just sent him a message I have one I would like done

 

How does the Hoyt riser with ILF sound at the shot? Is it a quiet shooter as compared to the original set up?

 

I still a regular bolt down GM2, and I put some thin adhesive backed rubber on the limb pads where the bolts contact. When tuned, it is very silent - though I also have cat whiskers, velcro on the string groove and yarn on the string.

On my ILF version, with TT BlackMac Wood/Glass limbs I'd say it's very close. The bolt down would be marginally quieter... but with my current ILF 35# set up on a 8" BH, it's practically the same nice thump.

So you're not losing anything going to ILF - the only thing to be fully aware of if that the limb pad angle is not as low as a typical ILF... so you lose performance (but gain smooth draw and the adjustability of ILF). Only kaya kStorm limbs that I tested, I lost almost 10fps just by changing risers.

 

I found the Hoyt Dorado OEM setup to be fairly loud IMO but I was shooting with fast flight string, no silencers, an older style Bullseye Simplex Hunter sight and a 420 grain arrow.

 

Daniel, that's one of Jonhdo's finest. I would like to see a nicer nut on the arrow rest, brass perhaps, but that's just me. Could you please answer some questions.
What is the mass weight of the G11, limb pad angle, deflex/reflex and length.
Jonhdo, anybody feel free to chip in. Thanks. I like it a lot.

 

The mass weight of the GM2 riser is 2 lbs 3.6 oz or 1000.9 grams. The limb pad angles are about 22 degrees. It has about 3/8" deflex. It's 21" riser.

 

I've made similar to the square ended flipper type, but not as neat as yours. I'd love a fully equipped workshop and steady hands....oh ! and younger eyesight.

 

Here're some grips I made for it and Dorado risers

 

You ever sell any of those grips?

 

No Jim, I made those grip for me, they're fitted my hand.

 

He ought to run a design of his own riser. I am surprised though at one thing.

Why is the Gamemaster riser so desirable? Now I can understand the Dorado, but not the Gamemasters.

For performance? All of them are dogs too!

You can probably buy a riser from 3 rivers Dalaa for about the same money you end up with in one after the conversion? Same with a Morrsion or Tradtech that will smoke all the Hoyt Gamemasters.

Everybody saying, "Why they did not do these in ILF?" ETC. They are probably not as fast as a Good Rambo warf with the same limbs. The Dorado maybe, but not the Gamemaster.

I commend Johndo,, do not get me wrong and respect his talent etc. But I know a Black Bear or a Proline will smoke all the Hoyt bolt downs with the same limbs.:luck:

 

It's all about the riser fit you better. The mass weight, grip, amount the deflex....
I have a few Hoyt Rambo/ Raider, Black Bear, Proline risers; but they're not fit me well. I have't try Morrison and Tradtech yet.
FYI, with same limbs, they'll weight same on GameMaster II and Dorado riser; and GameMaster II riser shoot faster than Dorado with same limbs.
