ILF limbs can be modified to work on a Hoyt Dorado riser but the Hoyt Dorado riser cannot be conveted to use ILF limbs.

Just wanted to make sure there was no confusion there Ravenclaw.

Hi Bill!
I had the luck to get my hands on a DAS hunter riser, and was searching the net for a good set of limbs to attach to the riser.
Long story short, I also did contact Sid@ ****** Bows Archery and bought a set of ILF hex v h core limbs 50@30,5" Because of my long drawlength they made them to be a 64" bow. I had never shot a ilf bow before but wow what a bow.
I shoot instinctively and when I started to shoot this bow I was very positively surprised of the "feel" I got with it.
Now I have tuned it to 58@ my drawlength(real short to 31") and made up a set with Easton fmj 400 full length total weight 600 grains.
And this bow throws the arrows at ca 190 fps!!
A really great bow to play and hunt with.

In fact there is very few bows I have the pleasure to this accurate with on any distances I shoot.

My DAS Hunter with ****** Black Douglas ILF hex V H core has come to stay on my bowrack [archer]

Margly....love my DAS. By the way...my grandfather was born in Oslo so we have something more in common than DAS bows and ****** limbs. We are both Squareheads.

That's what we were called when I was a kid growing up in New York....Squareheads. Never got to the reason for it....just acccepted it. All the ethnic groups had names like that. Today you would get thrown in jail for being politically incorrect. Times have changed.

I love the ability to move weight up or down. Limbs from almost any place on the planet can be used Ilf.
Great concept.

I have a Morrison ILF longbow. I just love the way this thing points and shoots. I have the small riser,which causes me to can't ever so slightly, but it really is not issue. This bow shoots better than I can.

I shoot an Abbott longbow 1 piece, but my recurve is ILF with different sets of limbs for traveling. Can't beat it. Marco

New to me to.I just got into these a couple months back and I was a little hesitant at first because of just being different than all my one piece longbows.My Morrison ILF has given me a whole new outlook on hunting this year and next years 3D.The only problem I forsee is that I want to own every limb available now.One for each week would suite me.LOL.easy to change to whatever mood hits ya..Gives you the chance to tinker if you want...My .02
