Hello the tradgang people
so far i 'm shooting a PSA BW and heavy EFOC arrow, a very smooth and forgiveness hunting conbinaison
For the first time i just buy a second hand bow "oversea" in the trad gang "traditionnal"
It's a Morrison Mini 14 riser
i deal with a great guy, just have to wait the post man now
My bank account is "very very shy" and now i'm looking for limbs with a lonb bow profile, to get a 45/50 pounds bow to my 27 hunting draw
the cheaper i found so far are from trad tech archery and they are made by Samick
do you have some experience with those Ilf limbs ?
do you have any other cheap idea ?
Thank you in advance for your answer / David

I just got some TT longbow limbs the other day. So far the only review I can give is that its a dang good lookin limb! I haven't got my string built yet so I haven't shot them. I read a bunch about the TT limbs, as you can do searches and see also, but TT limbs seem to be by far one of the best for your money.
-
Can't help with cheap but Sky makes a real great limb for about 350.00
-
I'm shooting the trad tech samick longbow limb $179 on the Recon riser. I'm impressed and pleased with the performance.

check on lancaster archery they have some for about 100
-
I have some Trad Tech carbon recurve limbs they are a great set of limbs.
-
You cantbeat those limbs, shoot as good as those costing 3x as much, especially the carbons. I have 3 sets now. Pm menack if I can help more. Sam

I have a set of TT wood/glass longbow limbs, made by Samick, on a bb warf. I am well satisfied with them. They appear to have a different draw curve than all my other longbows. They draw harder off brace, guess it's a preload thing, but are fairly smooth and do not stack, out to 28". Don't know beyond that.
-
For cheap I would look for a used set. For $250 you can geta set of Sky ILF new or some really good higher end used ILF limbs.
-
I have 2 sets of trad tech recurve limbs for my hoyt excel riser. NO complaints and makes a very smooth shooting bow.
Did this combination after taking a Rod Jenkins clinic.
-
thank to all for answering, apparantly the TT Samick Ilf limbs are difficult to compet with for the price
Mr Morrison thank for your intervention, i look on the SKY web site and i didn't found the 250 usd type ?
-
I have tried Dryad ILF longbow limbs on Morrison riser. They work for me. Dryad is Tradgang sponsor. The limbs are $300.
-
I can get the $250 Sky limbs for you or just call Jim and ask about them.

PM sent thank you

an other question for the owner of the TT samick long bow profile limbs, i can't find on the TT website how long they are to estimate how long will be the bow with a 14 " long riser ???
Thank you !
-
Do not shoot a set of these limbs, but from everything I have heard about them they are maybe the best bang for the buck in ILF limbs. You may very well never feel the need to replace them with something more expensive.

Just go to Lancasterarcherysupply.com and download the first 30 pages of their catalog. The limb length info you want is on page 21 of the 2010 catalog.
DDave
-
And read "Rob's tech tips" at the bottom of page 21 for an idea of what overall length should work for your draw length.
Sorry for the fragmented post. I should have just checked everything before I posted.
DDave
-
if i look at the right place the lenght of the LB profile limbs are 64 on the TT catalog and that will make a 62 " bow on a 17 " riser, with the morrison 14 riser that will be a 59 inch bow
Thank to all for your help !
-
You got it, and that should work okay with a 27 inch draw length. I have shot 60 inch long bows with my 30 inch draw and they work okay when I use 2 fingers under. In fact I have a 60 inch Beaver Creek bow on order.

Your riser is actually 13 inches.With the T.T. longbow limbs your bow will be 58".

the riser is 14 so i suppose that the bow will be 59 ???

I'm pretty sure this is accurate....

thank you !

The Trad tech limbs are the best bang for your buck out there...The Black Max are a great recurve limb and the wood grain longbow limbs are extremely smooth!!
-
2 Barrels is right 13" ILF, 14" OAL... And Black Max limbs are the best $120 ILF limb out there, the carbon has the same performance, so save your money.And a $120 limb is not a $700 limb, so until you can tell the difference stick with the Black Max.
I have yet to see a truly competitive target shooter shoot the cheapest limb they can find,Hunting is just a different Target. Better to buy a set of used WinEx, Samicks.
-
OK, finaly the riser i baught is 13 or 14 ???
the black max look great for the value but i found them only with a recurve design and 62 max lenght ...
-
When measureing a ILF riser you measure the distance from center to center of the limb bolt's.On your riser this will be 8 inches.Then you add the distance from the center of the limb bolt to the end of the limb pocket.That is a standard of 2 1/2 inches.So you have 8 inches between the limb bolts plus the 2 1/2 inch measurment from each end of the riser.This gives you a total measurement of 13 inches.I hope this doesnt confuse you to much.And by the way bowbldr is Bob Morrison.He's the guy that built your riser so he should know.If there's anything else i can answer for you feel free to PM me.Jim
-
ok i d'ont have yet the riser in my hand, still crossing the sea and i baught on TG last week for a 14 " riser, on the pics i get before to buy it you can read "Morrison 14 " i'm a bit completly confused now ...
Any way i'ts my very first experience with ilf and very happy to get informations about it
Very impatient to get pics about the 250 usd limbs made by Sky Mr Morrison was talking about !

Site will not let me post the actual picture.

-
Thank you Mr Morrison, how long are they please and is it possible to have a long bow profile ???
THANK YOU
-
kibok&ko I shoot the mini Morrison riser as you
have ordered. the 14" and the 13" are one in the
same. I shoot one of mine in a long limb profile.
the limbs are from sky. they are 50 pound limbs.
for me the long limb distributes the weight in such a manner as to create a smooth drawing bow,that does not feel like 50 pounds. if you go
with medium length limbs,get 40 pounders to get a
45-50 pound ILF. long limbs vs. mini 13/14 riser
makes a 58" bow. mediums make a 56". shorts make
a 54". good luck, and have fun. hope this helps
Bob Morrisons ILF risers are top of the line. I
am sure you'll love it.
-
I just got a Morrison mini 13 metal ILF riser and love it. Wish I had bought one sooner. I also have a 17' Titan. Bob really thought out the design on this mini 13. There are so many things I like about the Morrison riser. I am shooting off the shelf with a stubby plunger. I have a set of medium and a set of long limbs. I have a 28" draw and the long limbs are the ticket. A 58" bow that is as smooth as silk. I really like the smaller lighter riser that with long limbs still makes a short bow. I have just had so much fun shooting it the past few days.
-
Thank you rieverrat 2, I'm sure i'm going to like it !
How long are the "long" limb, 64 ?
-
the "long" limbs are 25". on your mini riser they
will make a 58" set-up. there is 8" between the limb "butt ends" when assembled and veiwed from the front. also,when ordering limbs make certain
to know the poundage they are rated at vs. the
riser length. example = 50@28 on a 17 inch riser
will make 54@28 on your 13" riser. add 1 pound per inch of riser drop to determine. just consider your riser at 13" to make things come out correct.

I've shot them both and own the Carbons. The above statement is not accurate in my opinion. The 120.00 Black Max limbs are a heck of deal for the money, but the carbons are smoother, quieter, and and a little bit quicker.
-
kibok&ko,just call tradtech archery and tell them
your riser length and they will walk you through
the selection process,and explain the riser length vs. poundage thing. I've got 3 of them and
the equation above is correct. you gain 1 pound per inch of riser drop in most cases.
-
I'm sure Mr.Morrison was just assuring the thread starter that the Black Max's were a great buy considering his stated "shy" bank account.
-
The set of limbs in the pic are longs. Every set of limbs can preform different. The testing I did here on the Black max Fiberglass and carbon, shot from a shooting machine though a chronograph, Speed was basically the same, You can check with Pete Ward on this one....I have never seen a carbon as smooth as fiberglass, but everyone perceives smoothness different. If your happy with your limb setup that is all that matters.
-
Have to agree with Bob. I own both TT black max wood/glass and carbon. Have not shot through a chrono, but to me I cannot tell any difference. I personaly would not spend the extra $100 for the carbon. Would like to own a set of Morrison longbow limbs.
-
Ok thank to all for the information, whateever the set i will finally choose you can be sure that i will got many bowhunters friends visit me just to see, touch and test this very new thing for us !!!
i'm realise that the long bow profile i wanted complicate a bit the selection and add extra USD in the balance ...
the good thing if i choose the 250 usd sky long limb is i choose before the exat poundage i want, 45 pounds
Merci Tradgang !

Hello to the ILF addicted people
finaly i just recieved the trad tech long bow profile 64 ilf limbs to put on the MINI 13 MORRISON riser
a question please, how should i do measure the bow lenght to put on the right lenght string ?
and some body did have an idéa of the brace height ?
i have a spare 58 BW string for my PSA but i don't want to make a big mistake trying it ...
Thank you in advance
David
-
If you purchased the Tradtech long limbs, then you will have a 58" bow. You should need a 55" longbow string. There are some good sting makers that are sponsors on this site. Oliverstacy, SBD and others. Send them a PM or call them and they can fix you up.
-
i finaly effectively purchased a new pair of TT limbs ... that was not easy to reach them by email but finaly with a lot of swet i suceed to get answers ... commercialy speaking those people are very lucky so far to be alone to sell under 200 dollars ILF long bow limbs ...
i'm going now to look for a 55 " long bow string
thank AZ Hunter
unstrung so far the bow with the 13" morrison riser look like almost only a curve of limbs, i'm sure that will work realy well

waiting for an astroflight string made by a handy friend i finaly try it with a old string made by BW in 58 "
(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd133/kiboko_bucket/MOMOB.jpg)
i have only big spine arrow, CE 250, 2O/2O but the 20/18 are flying very well wuth 285 grs in front, i guess the bow is around 46 pounds to my draw (the limbs are 35 pounds)
dead in the hand and realy quiet, i put a brace height of 7,5 " for confort
this thing is smooth & shooting where you look
the total price, beween the second hand riser on TG and the TT limbs, is realy soft for a good hunting bow i think
thanks to all the TG people for helps & advices
