I have been looking at the Trad Tech Pinnacle riser and had a limb question. I don't really care for the gap between the limb and limb bed when the bow is strung. Is there something that one could put in there and would act kind of like a dampener?

The gap is there for a reason, it's an adjustable limb. Look at the Apex riser, I think it covers that doesn't it?

The "gap" is there to maintain the appropriate limb angle. You have to realize these are adjustable tiller bows so that's how they need to be. Don't mess with it.

Sure, you can use 1/4" or 1/2" rubber weather strip. You could probably trim it to fit easily. It would serve as a damper and keep you from seeing under the limb. Matter of fact, the first generation Titan had/has a rubber damper similar to that.

Look in the makeup section and you will find foam wedges. They work great

You must allow the limbs to pivot. Otherwise damage will occur. Anything you put under the limbs must have some give to it.

These cover it up....off a compound, no interference!

Jim/Deadeye, thanks for the suggestions. That was what I was looking for. I forgot about the Titan having that foam wedge. That is what I will try to do if I pic one up.

Folks, I understand the limb concept just didn't like the gap underneath. Very much appreciate all the responses.

Or you can buy a Titan III or II and the limb pockets cover the gap.

The only time the limbs "have to pivot" is adjusting tiller or draw weight.

I don't know if potential noise/vibration is the overriding fear here, but I have a number of ILF handles, some of which have pronounced "gaps" and none of them are loud. In fact they are all very quiet, so a "dampener" would serve no purpose whatsoever, but whatever I suppose.

I've never shopped the makeup section, not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)

Ok, I might pick up a Pinnacle II riser. What limbs would I need to make a 45#, 62" bow?

36 to 38# will be real close on that riser.

... that is, for limbs marked for a 25" riser.

Limbs are TT Black Max. They are marked for a 17" riser. So, I go down in weight as the riser is longer? How many pounds per inch?

One pound of draw weight per inch of riser is a good rule of thumb. Of course, that will depend on the geometry of the riser itself, but it should put you in the ballpark.

TradNut,

I've had a couple Pinnacle risers, and my (little) experience is that 45# TradTech limbs for the 17" riser will weigh 45# on the Pinnacle.

Jim Casto has the correct answer. Get the 45# BM limbs. Remember, ILF's are adjustable for weight a couple pounds either way. Best of luck.

Outstanding guys! Really appreciate the help and tips. I think I'm gonna give this a try and see how I like the Pinnacle. Stay safe and shoot straight! TW
