I just swapped the whole riser & limb sets to verify from the 330 to the 380, and then back. I did remove all the suppression stuff though. Other than the color, the risers are supposed to the same. They do hold the limbs at a bit different angle in my opinion, but it could be an optical illusion. I'm going to contact Peter, and ask what he recommends. He will probably want me to send the riser / limb assembly to him. Hope that makes sense.

Here is a picture I took last night while inspecting the 380 I picked up. Hope it helps.

It does. I'm breaking mine down end of the week after some other goodies come in. I see your limb deflection numbers, but here that it really doesn't mean a whole lot anymore. Just a comparison to get a close match, and really not an indicator to use for speed & performance. You definitely have a hot rod there!

It will be interesting to see if Peter sends limbs in the mid to upper 50’s deflection rating but like you stated we really don’t know the significance of those numbers anymore.

I'm hoping two 75's based on what you're getting. :lol: :lol:

75’s or 25’s who knows. Lol. The only think I am going to change on mine is to get a short arrow retention arm instead of the rediculously long one that is on mine if I can find one without having to wait on customs.

See how your riser is angled out, mine is straight, and actually has a step down towards the outer edge.

Thanks, I think it's more the riser than anything.

It is a redesigned riser, Peter said send my limbs back, and we'll go from there. RMA issued, so we'll see where we end up.
Thanks all!

I'm sure the end result is that it'll be right as rain, the problem is the riser or the limbs. Surprised they didn't ask for both, just to make sure everything was good on it.

Now I want to get out and chrony mine to make sure it shoots the advertised speeds! I think mine has the original mounting hardware and riser, and I don't know if I need to get that sent in to avoid issues in the future.
