Riser Angles / G10 ILF risers
Am shooting a Gillo Ghost 19" with DAS longbow limbs. I enjoy it for league though I have had issues with my Bosen limbs requiring excessive (to me) brace height to avoid noodling.
I have seen some risers listed as having better angles for longbow limbs. Is there any resource one can reference to see the relative angles of different risers? It doesn't seem like most manufacturers list them.
If I were making a wish, it'd be probably for a 15-17", low angle g10 riser to try out for hunting - heavy enough, a little smaller.

Howdy LedFlight Yes current Amzn price around $345 delivered with tax . The 3R guys price is 400 bucks plus tax . If your not in rush to order Amzn , drops price frequently to $306 ' plus tax . When I purchased mine I paid 306 tax included.
The Z15 a very good wood ILF riser and very pretty . If your looking for a 15" riser . I was @ backyard BBQ n men shot and a guy offered me 400 for my riser alone. Sold it and next day ordered a WF19, was hooked and haven't messed with a wood riser since . Z15 an upgrade from WFL and some of the other Chinese risers which I believe many are made in same factory. One other thing you might need to know Z15 if I remember correctly not cut past center , only comes in R HAND model and has no holes for a stab weight, and brings NO imbedded coin .

I am not really looking for wood, as I think the heaviness of metal helps. My searching is more about longbow compatible risers. If it were $85 I might place an order anyway though.

Short Risers with less pocket angle magnifies preload even more. Would need proprietary limbs to calculate limb weight.Like you I would love to find a heavy, short (15” or less) riser with limb angles that would be conducive to longbow limbs. It seems like the “better” risers for longbow limbs have 15 or 16 degree limb pad angles and not much deflex.

This may be true but I like the heavy feel at the start. I shot my 42lb 66" A&H yesterday and there's more to pull at the start over my 43lb ILF combo (45lb limbs on a 19" riser).Short Risers with less pocket angle magnifies preload even more. Would need proprietary limbs to calculate limb weight.
Let me guess, you have a short draw and do not hold at anchor?This may be true but I like the heavy feel at the start. I shot my 42lb 66" A&H yesterday and there's more to pull at the start over my 43lb ILF combo (45lb limbs on a 19" riser).
I draw 28" and hold and aim using gap.
Does anyone know the riser angle of the short VPA? It seems to do well with longbow limbs - is it a good angle just b/c it's short?
I (think) the 13" VPA will be same as a 13" MORRISON which is 19 degrees. Me & Dave Holquist measured our 2 (Morrisons) a few months ago. edit - aluminum risers.
Folks for more info, I used a scale on my setup for the first time today.
I am using a Gillo Ghost 19" and my 45lb DAS longbow limbs pulled between 39 and 41lbs when testing at my 28" draw.
My Bosen carbon foam limbs pulled 50lb exactly, which is what they are marked at 17", and they seem to be known for coming in heavier.
I wonder what moving to a Bivouac or DX5 would do.
8.25" brace height for both.

I asked Kustom King about this riser's limb pad angle they told me Bearpaw does not share that info!I bet it's an unreliable method but from this pic this angle looks low
