Also are you hoping to use your existing limbs? If they're not 'international fitting' then this would limit your choice further. At the lower end of the scale the KAP Winstar II seem to be well regarded for their price. _________________ Jim Bring me my Bow of burning gold; Bring me my Arrows of Desire;

Not sure how big your junior is, so I don't know if you need to be looking for a 23" riser. The samick agulla and mizar risers are good bows. The Mizar is a 23" riser. _________________ My shoes are too tight, but it doesn’t matter, because I have forgotten how to dance.

Bushy - I assume as he is looking for a metal riser, that he is coming from a wooden one, and I am sure I am going to be proven wrong here, but I am not aware of a wooden riser with international fitting limbs, especially amoungst the training bows (making assumption here because of the junior part ) _________________ My shoes are too tight, but it doesn’t matter, because I have forgotten how to dance.
