Tubular archery bow riser

A method of making an archery bow or riser comprising:

• providing a riser handle including a first port bounded by a first sidewall and a first limb strut including a second port bounded by a second sidewall;
• providing an upper carbon tube having a round cross section and a first end ending at the limb strut and a second end ending at the riser handle, the upper carbon tube including a first linear axis that extends from the first end to the second end with no curvature to the first linear axis;
• applying an adhesive to at least one of the upper carbon tube, the first port and the second port;
• and
• installing the upper carbon tube relative to the first port and the second port to join the riser handle and the first limb strut, without the upper carbon tube extending past the riser handle,
• wherein the adhesive is disposed in a gap between the first sidewall and an exterior of the upper carbon tube disposed in the first port.

A method of making an archery bow or riser comprising:

• providing a riser handle including a first port bounded by a first sidewall and a first bottom, and a first limb strut including a second port bounded by a second sidewall;
• providing a straight carbon tube including a first linear axis that extends from a first end to a second end of the straight carbon tube with no curvature to the first linear axis;
• and
• installing the straight carbon tube relative to the first port and the second port to join the riser handle and the first limb strut, without the straight carbon tube extending past the riser handle and the first bottom,
• wherein an adhesive moves within a gap defined between the first port and the straight carbon tube during the installing.
