Just make sure not to use a permanent threadlock (loctite) that usually comes in red color. Use the blue one.

What side plate material do you guys use on your WFL? Is leather a good one?

I just had my first real shooting sessions with a new-to-me White Feather Lark (19” ILF riser) and Soul Black Flash limbs.
I think I’m going to have to echo the words of an old blues standard (also recorded by Led Zeppelin) and tell my vintage hunting bows, “I can’t quit you baby, So I’m gonna put you down for awhile.”
Even with the cheapest (fiberglass/wood) Black Flash limbs, I am by far outshooting every other bow I own with it. I’m glad I got some better ones too. It’ll be interesting to see the differences, if any.
So far, so great. I seem to be keeping up with the Striker RK1 being shot alongside me. It’s a heckuva too-notch bow too.

Does it shoot better without a side plate? I have another WFL riser coming soon and trying to find the best setup for it.

Thanks so much @grantmac! I went a little crazy and also ordered a 21" Lark riser so I can set up two bows with sets of different "68" (Medium?) limbs.

So will I want 66" and 64" strings to go with the 23" and 21" risers?

I did exactly the same thing, because the 23" was SOLD out when I placed an order for it. I played with the 21" while waiting for the 23" which got even delayed because I ordered it with Uukha limbs which took 5 weeks to deliver.

I love both of my Lark risers. They are perfectly balanced if you like to shoot barebow.

Aside from getting it to shoot quietly, what else is the reason for finding the right brace height? My 23" Lark is already quiet at 7.5" BH.

Thanks lameduck, I'll lower it and see if it gets quieter, that is definitely important to me! I started at 7" BH with the 23+longs and it was vibrating like crazy and super loud, so I jumped to 8"+ BH, but didn't really try in between. It helps to know what I'm looking/listening for!

By the way, I use medium sized limbs. I don't know if the same brace height works for your long limbs.
