Need some help!
« on: November 22, 2021, 10:04:27 AM »
OK, looking for some advice.  I currently shoot a 58" ILF longbow.  13" aluminum riser with long limbs.  I only draw 26" and pull 50# @ 26".  I am shooting carbon arrows weighing 560grains @ 153fps.  The bow performs well, no hand shock at all and very quiet.  My problem is I really hate the alum riser and am looking to go to a 3 piece takedown longbow, bolt down style.  I know I can get a riser that is not alum for the ILF but I treat the ILF like a bolt down anyway. 

I know speed is not the only important thing when shooting a hunting bow, but I don't want to give up performance at all.  I am looking for suggestions on a good performing bolt down 3 piece longbow.  Current set up is a hybrid style with carbon limbs. 

Just looking for some suggestions on where to start looking. 
Thanks for reading and giving me a little direction.

It would be hard to beat a Primal Tech!

I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Having a little issue trying to find info on Primal Tech. 

BAK, Thanks but I am trying to get away from the ILF set up and move to a bolt down. 

I currently have a 13" riser and want to stay there so I can still get a 58" bow. 

Thanks for the responses so far.

I have an A&H Archery ACS-CX 3 piece bolt down longbow that has outperformed ALL of the recurves and longbows I have shot. It pulls 47# at my draw and is faster than bows I have at 56#. Super efficient design, beautiful to look at and a definite shooter. If you have the chance to shoot one before making your decision I would definitely recommend it.
