I have the 13" riser and I have had absolutely no issues with it, I was even able to take a P&Y buck with it during the 2025 season...
I recently purchased the 15" riser in hopes of maybe repeating that in the upcoming years.
Well built, solid components, precision mad.
Only issue I have, with the purchase of my new 15" riser...I did not receive an VPA decal for my truck window..., lol!

Quality piece of equipment,American Made a reasonable cost for today’s prices. Small hiccup in packing and shipping it arrived without limb bolts but they were gotten to me in 2 days. A bit of swag would’ve helped there..haha!

Cannot say enough good things about this riser. The fit and finish is spectacular. Love the jager grip they come with and the machine work is impeccable. The quietness of this riser is as quiet if not quieter than some of my wood bows. I put a set of Nika C1 medium limbs on this bow and it gained the same poundage as a 17" riser would. The bow points very well and love the fact that it has stainless hardware. The adjustable center shot bolt is a very simple tuning adjustment and the shelf has the nice hump for shooting off the shelf with great clearance. This bow paper tuned for me very easily shooting off the shelf. Not to mention VPA customer service is great if you have any questions. If you are wanting to get into the ILF world I can't recommend this one enough!

Bought this riser in 2021 during my archery season because I wanted a shorter bow to hunt from blinds or from my knees,within a few days of receiving and tuning to my tradtech black max limbs with overall length of 54”, I was able to harvest 2 Whitetails at 20 yards and plenty of small game taken since. Sweet bow,well crafted and am looking forward to using it for many years to come.

I was wanting a short hunting bow, and liked the idea of an ILF bow with all of the options to them. This 13in riser with short limbs makes a 54in AMO bow; with my 26in draw length its a sweet combo. I was curious how this bow would point and aim with it being short, after the first little bit of shooting that all went away. All I can say is this bow points and shoots very well! I would highly recommend this riser. Awesome Job VPA!!

I ordered the 15-inch with the low grip, it's a dream! I'm shooting it with Old Mountain Archery Panther longbow limbs! The best hybrid bow for me!

Great riser. Was my first ILF bow and I'm very happy with the VPA riser.
