Jeff
The overall length of the riser is 11".  The length of the limb pads is 3".  I don't know what the angle is in degrees.  The way I do it is I measure down the front of the handle, in this case it was about 1/2". then make a mark 3" back and make a line between the 2 points.  I adjust the angle on each bow in accordance with how much reflex the limbs hold after glue up so that I get some tip setback.  The more reflex the limb holds the more angle I can give it, up to a point.  I like to start off with at least 1" of reflex.
