Aluminium is almost 3 times heavier than the heaviest wood out there....Although if they made that one it would sell.

Out of interest how come its had to go on the back-burner?As for a production CNC riser, I'm fairly sure this has had to go on the backburner indefinitely. Hopefully Sid will spot this thread and pop up to give us the official version.
Closed limb pockets serve no function. They in fact make it less stiff - mass away from the hand makes the limb pockets flap around.I hope they do not stick with those open limb pockets. They do not look right for me and make me think of entry level risers like Hoyt Excel or Horizon.
The Riser would look way better and be quite a bit stiffer with traditional limb pockets.
limb pocket flex isnt an issue. the DAS 17" riser has a plate for the limb pocket and it doesnt have any issues.I hope they do not stick with those open limb pockets. They do not look right for me and make me think of entry level risers like Hoyt Excel or Horizon.

Did you follow the development of the first Vanquish Riser? The FEM simulation showed that there is a surprisingly large amount of energy handled by the sides of the limb pocket.Closed limb pockets serve no function.

Yes, and I owned one. If stress is handled correctly elsewhere, it's not an issue. Don't forget the Vanquish started out as a student's project.Did you follow the development of the first Vanquish Riser?

I don't get what you want to say.....Don't forget the Vanquish started out as a student's project.
yes we have done alot of FEA and the stresses are spread nicely along the riser with very few "hot spots"I don't get what you want to say.....
How do you want to handle stress occuring in the limb pocket elsewhere?
@Sid: did you do a FEM or do you plan to do one? That would be quite interesting.......
It's on the upper end of recommended, partly because I grabbed the first string I could find that looked the right length, partly because they are XS hex 5's on a 25" riser ;-)Huge bracing height there!
