I thought we might make this a sticky for newcomers to Barebow Stringwalking when figuring what riser may be suited for Stringwalking, on paper all ILF risers should work but some just work better than others. To highlight things like practicality for Stringwalking, build quality, ease of tune, value for money, problems/drawbacks with riser. I haven't shot many ILF risers but if everybody contributes we should have a fairly comprehensive list of risers. It's all subjective but should give people some ideas what to look for and what to avoid in a riser.
W&W Pro-Accent. Light weight and reasonably priced riser, all W&W grips seem nice to use, limited on balancing for BB but as the riser is fairly light it's not that difficult to set up, light weight would make it a suitable choice for a woman.
Bernadini Nilo Good options for balancing the riser, good build quality, only draw back is the grip as it just didn't work for me, I understand Jager now offer a grip for this riser.
Best Moon Good value for money, easy to tune and balance, grip is too chunky but fixed buy taking a file to it.
Stolid Bull Vanquish Superb build quality and craftsmanship, some great innovation in the design, balances even without any BB weights. Drawbacks is it's very heavy even without weights 1.8kg, the support bar in front of the grip can feel awkward if you have smaller than average hands and it's very expensive compared to other risers, it's not over priced, just that you pay for quality.
SF Forged PLUS I've not owned one of these but I have set up 3 for Stringwalking for club members, for a first BB riser this is an excellent affordable choice, you get good value for your money, pretty good quality, tunes easy, not too heavy and a perfect ladies first BB.
