The riser (the centre section of the bow) is generally separate and is constructed from wood, carbon, aluminium alloy or magnesium alloy. The term 'riser' is used because, in a one-piece bow, the centre section rises from the limbs in a taper to spread the stress.
If a compound bow is set for a 29 draw length, for example, it should always be drawn back to a full 29 and then shot from that position. You should never attempt to shoot from the middle of the powerstroke. You only shoot after you reach full draw. If you haven't shot a compound bow before, don't worry.
