Default How do you measure Risers?

Do you measure to the center of the hole?
When they are pull backs do you include the bend in the risers or measure in a straight line?

I set a square ( speed square if you have one) on the triple tree center of the riser bolts, figure the height and pull back would be the distance back from the edge of the square center of those bolts.
