Been considering a ILF riser for purchase but am concerned about some of the things Ive read on archery forums. Are these risers inherently noisier than a takedown? Are they more difficult to quiet down? Im not experienced in this type of archery any help would be appreciated for me to make an informed purchase. I posted this on another thread about Morrison bows. Ive been going back and forth in my mind between a Daala(unsure what length) or a Morrison gen 3,19inch

DOULOS I HAVE A MORRISON 15" PHONELIC ILF RISER WITH HIS NEW STATIC TIP LIMBS. ZERO STRING SLAP ON THE LIMBS BUT THERE WAS A LIGHT NOISE COMING FROM THE LIMB POCKETS WHICH WAS CORRECTED BY A LITTLE FELT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LIMB AND A THIN COATING OF GREASE ON THE LIMB PIVOT. THIS BOW ALSO SHOOTS 190FPS + WITH STRING SILENCERS AND AT 9GPI WITH A 29 IN DRAW WITH FINGERS. DEADLY HUNTIN BOW AND NOW HAVE A GOOD COMBO OF SPEED AND STEALTH. YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH A MORRISON.

Matching limb length to your draw length is very important in ILF as is overall bow length to keep finger pinch down, so riser length is also an important consideration. Being able to adjust tiller and poundage aids in tuning with the ILF. I have had some ILF risers that had some vibration at the limb bolt/brass sleeve, nothing one or two rubber O rings did not fix to snug things up. Other than that they are as quiet as my other bows once tuned. I prefer the DAS/Dalaa for their limb connection system over the ILF bushing, and I have both a DAS 17 and Morrison 19 gen 2. Switching bushings in the limbs takes just minutes so easy to interchange riser types.
So I would suggest you match your limb length to your draw length and choose riser length to make a comfortable shooting bow for your hunting/shooting conditions.

I have a Zipper 17" riser with Dryad Static recurve limbs. Wool puffs and a yarn wrap on both ends of the string.....It is almost silent. It seems to like about a 7 3/4 brace.

I do have one that squeaks a tiny bit. The info on the previous post will take care of that. Otherwise, they are no harder to quiet than any other bow.

The metal riser seem to make a more noise than wood or phenolic. Dalaa has a rubber isolator that helps dampen vibration, leaving the main bolt and pin bolt that contact the metal.It is pretty easy to add rubber under the limb of ILF also yourself.

I have a Morrison 17" wood riser with "Long" limbs. Pretty quiet with just yarn puffs. I noticed a tine bit of a "clack" when I was "breaking in" a new string that stretched enough that the brace height hit 6 3/4" - the lowest Bob recommended for my bow.
Otherwise no noise problems at all. Really sweet shooting bow actually.

I have a 15" Dryad Epic Riser with ACS CG longbow "long" limbs and it is a very quiet set up. It seems to be every bit as quiet as my one piece R/D bows. I am fanatical about quiet bows and this one is a keeper.

I have the Morrison Wood/phenolic 15in riser with some carbon foam olympic limbs... It is quiet as any recurve... and with some wool balls and padding the loops, she's deadly!!!

Have a 17" Morrison wood/phenolic riser and med Dryad Epic limbs and this bow is one quiet bow. Don't know where the bad rap on noise came from.

I know this thread is about a year old, but I am having some trouble getting a slight "tick" sound, which occurs at the shot, silenced with my Morrison ILF. I have the Mini 13, Dymalux and phenolic riser, foam core carbon recurve limbs (not static), with an SBD ultra string. The tick sounds almost like an aluminum arrow shaft being lightly tapped on the limb, and seems to be coming from the riser. Any thoughts, fellas?
