Hi Guys,

I'm totally new to this, but this looks a great forum to find some help.

I'm looking to make a carbon fiber riser and limbs for my bow below. However I need some guidance in doing so, and what to do about the screw holes etc.



Anyway hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

If you are a complete beginner attempting such a mammoth project will be difficult, likely require substantial trial and error and cost you alot of money in the process. Thousands in materials and time.

Good luck if you choose to attempt it.

Otherwise, if I were you I would go for a top of the range carbon compound from a leading bow-manufacturer...

Will save you some headaches and most likely money as well.

cheers

I appreciate your efforts at trying to discourage me from going ahead with this, however at this stage I am simply asking how to attempt such a task. I'm well aware of the commercially available carbon fiber bows,  however I wouldn't be here seeking your guidance if that's the route I wanted to take Smile

You suggest making a mould to create a solid block out of CF, are there any suggested best practices for this, or somewhere you recommend I can read further on this?

thanks for your time so far guys
