I have an 'itch' that needs scratching which is why the post. I am very much interested in trying an ILF setup, however I want one with a metal riser and not intersested in waiting 2 - 3 months for a build. So, what do you guys recommend and why?

Thanks in advance Trad Gang Gurus!

I have a 15" Morrison metal riser on the way. I purchased 2 sets of used limbs to start out with; Sebastian Flute Glass/Carbon and a set of Winex. Can't wait for the riser to get in and see how it handles.

I am sure Bob could get you a riser much quicker than 2 to 3 months.

From my experience with the risers I'd go with a Morrison as my first choice and a Dalaa as my second.

I have a wood Zipper 17" and just got a Alum. Morrison 17".......I wouldn't be afraid to get a wood riser and Dryad has them in stock with no wait....fair price also!

I have a 17" Morrison gen 2 alum. I kinda like. Word is the gen 3 is even better, but wouldn't know.
Just wish mine was a 15".

I purchased a DAS Dalla two weeks ago and I have to say I love it. The Dalla shot great right out of the box and, I had it set up and in my hands in three days from three rivers archery.

I went with the Dalla because it can easily be shot off the shelf or from an elevated rest, I opted for the rest.

I have not shot any of the other brand bows mentioned above and I'm sure they are all very good.

I think the rest of my bows will be collecting dust for quite some time now.
