Review of the JC-Optimus ILF risers from@John F. Mosier @john's Custom Archery:
I should have done this long ago. My apologies to John for talking so long.
I have two different laser tools, that are used to check straightness, and alignment. One is a framing laser, that does both vertical, horizontal lines, and anything in between. The other is an archery laser alignment tool used for limb alignment, and finding & setting center shot of the arrow. Both are dead nutz accurate, and using them to check & set bow alignment is a "can't miss" use of them.
The JC-Optimus is straight. Straight as the lasers.
The bolt holes, the pivot mount for the LLA's, the grip, and the stabilizer hole are all dead center of this riser, and the balance point of it all is dead center in the throat of the grip.
If you put a set of limbs on one of these risers, and things don't line up - It's not the riser - It's the limbs. Thankfully this riser has the LLA's to make the compensation.
The riser is made of "top grade" aluminum. There's zero flex, that I can detect, even with my heavy limbs mounted. Don't be fooled by some of the "knock off" risers out there. They don't compare in quality. Even though you might save a few dollars going with one of the knock offs, it just isn't worth it.
Speaking of price. You can pay a lot more for a riser, but you aren't going to get any more other than maybe a couple of adjustment things, that "you don't need" with the JC-Optimus, and it's priced very reasonably anyway.
Thank You John for having such a Great product so reasonably priced, and being such an Out Standing person to deal with.
