Does putting padding between the riser and limbs of a 3 piece takedown hurt performance? My buddy showed up with a really nice takedown that he said was a little loud. So, he put sticky velcro between the limbs and riser, said it quieted the bow a bit. I’m wondering if this hurts performance?

Limb/riser contact should affect limb bending/cast.

I wouldn't think it would affect it much at all if the padding material is pretty thin.

I got tired of trying all the “fixes” for my Bear TD’s. I got me some thin packing foam. I chanced on it from a plate we got in this envelope of foam. I cut a couple strips and put them between the limb and the socket. No noise period. It has no effect on my bows performance. Now if I had to drop a spine or drop tip weight that would be an indicator of lower performance. Your, (his) mileage may vary.

If anything, it puts a little more preload on the limbs.

A thin piece of felt or gasket cork works well and won't affect anything accept noise.

I would think anything that helped quell vibration would enhance performance more than inhibit it.

Seems like a standard takedown shouldn’t need padding there?

The answer is no, it won't hurt performance. A lot of 3-piece bow makers install some sort of padding on the limb or riser.

Guess I'm fortunate in that my Bear TD is quiet without any sort of padding of the limb base. :o)

X4 what Orion said. My Bob Lee takedowns have a very thin piece of pliable plastic between the limbs and the riser.

I use the foam padding that is used between a cap for a truck bed and the top lip of the bed. Compresses very thin and lasts a long time. Absolutely no change in performance. DANNY

I have a 3-piece recurve and longbow. I cut thin bicycle innertube rubber to exactly fit between limbs and risers. They help quiet both bows with no change in shot performance.
