Pictures of the different risers .

[the elf]

Could someone please post pictures of the different risers [forward and
straight ] [cast and machined ] .for me.
I have a possible chance of picking up some spare parts and I don't want to get
confused any more than now.

I will post up some pic's shortly for you on the diff Risers. Also fer yer info thar be 2 types of cast Risers, shrt ht & tall ht. Tall ht. is same as the machined straight & Forward. Short ht is older models prior to 98.

Thanks vm I would like to see that. Myself. Never too late to learn

[Bullzeye]

Am interested myself, I am a visual kind of guy, need to see things to fully understand.

[vixenmaster]

Ok i gotstid a chance to post this mornin. 1st Riser is the Cast, 2nd will be the machinedstraight & 3rd will be the Forward.

Mike---many thanks for the pictures. They are a big help in
identifying the different risers. especially the one hole and the three hole models.
Thanks again----------Alonzo ----the elf.

I wonder how many fps you gain from a straight machined riser to forward machined riser?

The gain in speed is all relative to the arrow weight and string used. However, there is an approx. gain of 25lbs. in draw-weight with the forward riser. That is achieved because the limbs are flexed approx. an extra inch over the straight riser.

Cool I will be on the look out for a forward machined riser now for the Vixen....

Things i have learned by testin, 165 E'cet cast riser & its straight gives 10 fps less than a Forward Riser. Now i have used a Forward Riser a cast rser & machined riser on Vixen & E'cet 200. The cast & machined give the same speed usin same string. The Foward was faster pickin up 10-17 fps. The most gain will come from Vixen wid forward Riser. Use same arrow to test each riser & string.

Tall ht. is same as the machined straight & Forward. Short ht is older models prior to 98.

I'm shopping an exocet w cast riser, is that the same arrow speed as machined straight riser? Are cast risers different in weight/durability than machined risers? Thanks in advance.

As long as the same type of limbs & string are used the speed will be the same. Cast Riser willbe abit lighter than machined Risers. I have been shootin cast Risered models since 96 & neverhad one fail in any way. Is it as durable i have no way of knowin. I think that they will all last 50 yrs +

Ok i gotstid a chance to post this mornin. 1st Riser is the Cast, 2nd will be the machinedstraight & 3rd will be the Forward.

I included a Matrix riser incase anyone ever wants to see them all together to compare.
