I was graced with the gift of an old "Bear Black Bear" compound bow this afternoon.
When I got home with it, I set out to warfing a set of "Martin Firecat" recurve limbs to the riser.
There are a couple of ways to do this:
(1) You can use a single pin alignment pin at center of the limb butts, and riser limb pads. In this case you will have to measure & drill both the riser & the limbs for the pin. This option gives you a direct bolt down system with no adjustment for tiller, or draw weight.
(2) Use the original Bear rocker ball system by removing it from the compound limbs, and reinstalling it on the recurve limbs. Doing it this way does allow for some tiller & draw weight adjustment, just like an ILF system.
I opted to go with option #2
