MARVIN? You might need to re-title your thread? Starting off with "COMPOUND BOW" might get Your thread closed in a hurry?? BLESSED BE!

Had one of those back in the day. Conversion would probably depend on limb pad angle.

Fritz, the one I saw had pretty acute limb but angles, but I don't know if all the Nomads are the same in that aspect.

George Stout it’s a beautiful wood handle. Sure would be a shame if it wouldn’t work , a second hand store has it but it’s priced a little high anyways. Thanks

You have to post a pic of the side profile so we can see the pocket angles.

I am about to try the same thing with a Browning Cam Master riser and Samick Sage limbs.

Here it is to the right of a Bear 1966 Kodiak.

As I recall the Safari compound had some pretty severe take off angles on the limb pads. I think you'd have to modify them a considerable amount to get them close to the 20'ish degree angle that would be best. I'm thinking (if I remember correctly) that bow is probably pretty close to 30 degrees.
