Jaguar T/D limbs on Phantom 2 riser?

[evilmind]

A friend of mine just gave me an older phantom 2 riser (with limb pockets) and I was wondering if I could adapt the Jaguar limbs to it. Is this possible?

[evilmind]

Just in case anyone tries to do the same thing I'm doing, it is possible to us the Jaguar limbs on a Phantom 2 riser. The limbs bolt up directly with no modifications and the bow shoots great. The quality of the Phantom riser is definetely better than the jaguar so it's a win win.

Thanks for the heads up. This is just a great idea!

The riser was a little beat up so I bead blasted it. Now I just need to get a rest, any suggestions?

Looks great Use a simple rest - Martin has a spring rest, which i've read is good. Or may be a Whisker Bisquit?

Oh alex..

Whisker biscuit on a recurve is a bad idea.

Take a look at the videos from my fellow countryman Werner Beiter who made highspeed studies of arrow movement.

Think about a spring rest to start with!

I thought about buying a Cougar1 and building a recurve out of it after i saw those photos. I just wodner if i could convert it to accep ILF-limbs.

I got a NAP center rest flipper which seems to work pretty well. Does anyone have experience with the AAE Cavalier Free Flyte rests?

[evilmind]

Does the Cougar have removable limb pockets? I'm sure bolt on ILF limb pockets could be designed for it. Sounds like a fun project.

[Montalaar]

Until 2008 or 2009 all bows had the removable pocket. The Cougar is from 2002 or so. Might even consider one of my Razor-X risers for that project.

The first set of limbs delaminated on the first draw so I took them back to Martin and they gave me a new set. I shot about 150 arrows yesterday without any trouble at all. This morning I picked up the bow, put it in the car and about five min later my wife and I hear a crack! The limb delaminated in almost the same spot! What is up with these limbs?
