Thank you Ron, was all the Hoyt hardware fine the the other limbs? Limb bolts?
Since the Satori is ILF, I’m sure the limb bolts would work the same for long bow limbs as for recurve limbs. The limb bolts don't tighten on ILF setups; they just hold the limb in place and adjust for tiller and weight changes. The Satori riser has micro-adjustments that are separate from the limb bolts to make sure the limbs are in alignment from side to side.
I haven't considered putting longbow limbs on my Satori, but wouldn't hesitate to do so if I wanted to. I've had several longbow/recurve combinations in the past, and they have all worked out reasonably well. My Morrison Shawnee uses a riser that is primarily a longbow riser that will accommodate recurve limbs, whereas my Dakota Pro Hunter is definitely a recurve riser that will accommodate longbow limbs. The Satori is definitely a recurve riser. You can get various grips for it, but perhaps none as low as Ron would like.
If I were to get another bow with different sets of limbs, I would definitely want ILF limbs that had the micro-adjustment feature, as it is difficult to make different limbs that are in precise alignment, unless they are made at the same time so the bowyer can precisely fit each limb to the bow as he makes them, or maybe on a computer controlled system such as Black Widow uses.
Be aware that Hoyt stacks Allen screws so they won't slip out of place. When you want to adjust an Allen screw and nothing happens, it's because you are just moving the locking screw backward without affecting the adjusting screw underneath, or else just further tightening the locking screw against the adjusting screw.
