I got a new project in the works, updating an old riser.
Pearson Equalizer might be 18".
Adding a set of my older DAS plates to it.
had the grip frame contoured to mimic my favorite JAGER DAS grip.
Added another plunger hole.....and a bump.
Cerakoted to some shade of OD green/gray.....we'll see hwo the color turns out.
IT MIGHT be out of the cerakote shop in a day or two.
More later.....here's a teaser of it mostly completed....grip still in progress at this (pictured) stage .

Tell us about the milling. Did you do the work or have someone do it.

Nice in so many ways ... I'll be watching the progress of this little beauty

That is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. Master machinist and bowyer dave lint No Doubt!

Great looking job so far. Are you going to leave it white? I for some reason left mine the original finish. I like the risers light physical weight. I still have the original grip which fits me fine.

thanks guys.
BART, nope, I sent it off to a friend to do the work on.
Tom, going to be some variation of OD green/gray shading, cerakoted; I gave a general description of what I wanted for color, but it will be mysterious until I either get a picture or get it in me mitts.
Original grip was ok for me - - but I sent a favorite grip along and said grind frame down to fit it......... he was afraid of casting voids after looking at it, so he formed a grip for me on the grip frame.
I might have it here in about a week.

This opens up so many possibilities. Was there something unique to the Equilizer that made it a good candidate for this? Did your machinist just use a DAS plate for a pattern? Would love to see a photo of the milled surface on the riser if you took one before placing the plates.

I’m in I love modifying things.

Thanks Levi.
Bart, I sent riser with some old DAS DALAA plates I robbed off a Dalaa riser a year ago, it(Dalaa) came with ILF plates as well, and I sold the Dalaa to Dkard with ILF.
Mike Balmer years back made me a real special Pearson Equalizer ILF warf, then I also had a SHADOW, same thing, and then another Equalizer ILF a year ago from Monkeyball.
So I have a history with the Equalizer risers, and they work well with ILF longbow limbs.
So that's why I decided to see if the basic riser could go DAS.
It looks like it's going to work out well.......using real DAS plates and thumbscrews.
Angles are 15* so it's some like a stretched 17" DAS Dalaa, if you use your imagination a little bit.
