I just bought a used Hoyt Excl riser with a couple of pairs of limbs for my wife. I never had a ILF bow before. Do you just stick the limbs on the riser and string it or do you have to tighten stuff down?
Thanks Gil

And after that you can just slip them right out by backing them out and lifting out of the little button do-hickey (the scentific term, you know) No need to tighten and loosen again each time unless you want to change the weight or tiller a bit.

Nope, that's the way they feel when unstrung--real floppy. Only thing I didn't like about ILF rigs. Because of that floppy looseness you have to be sure every time you string it that the limbs are properly seated in the sockets.

Thanks again guys. I bought a inexpensive riser and two sets of limbs cheap. One set was a carbon foam set at 40# the other wood core. Boy the foam limbs are smooth and they appear very fast for the weight. I bought the carbon for $150 and the lighter wood core for $50. The riser was Hoyt Excel for $100. Both sets of limbs are Hoyt also. The riser and limbs seem like very good quality. Is ILF equipment generally this inexpensive? I see other ILF equipment for sale very reasonable too. I am a longbow shooter but my wife shoots a recurve. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality, performance and price of this equipment.
Thanks again Gil
