Amazing project from John Briscella, who got in touch. He has been designing a new type of riser with a prototype piece of software that allows generative processes to be introduced to computer aided design. The result is the Tekina ‘Optimal’ riser, about which Briscella says: “The object should inspire to go out and shoot archery. The design also gives confidence that it is performing well by its mathematically constructed form.”  I’ve sent him some questions about the limbs and his target market, looking forward to his reply.
