ILF Pinnacle II longbow opinions?

[elbow]

I just got a Pinnacle II 64" longbow, 50@28 from Trad tech Archery. Shoots great for me 30" draw, 2117 w/145 grain heads. Not to familiar with ILF or Pinnacle Bows, just looking for opinions on them, got it in a trade and for me shoots better that anything Ive Shot. Any info would be appreciated.

I like ILF bows.I like the Pinnacle except for the way the limb adjustment bolt is held in place.I would like it better if the limb bolt adjusted using a threaded metal sleve all the way through the riser.Still a nice bow.

I also like Win&Win limbs better though they don't make a longbow limb yet.

Congrats on your bow and don't take my comments too hard.I am just saying what I think would make a good bow better.

Keep your eyes open, I think Dryad is about to enter the ILF longbow market in a big way.

I have a Pinnacle 1, with #50 longbow limbs, 64" and #50 recurve limbs, carbon wood, 62. Quietest shooting bow I have, or have seen, bar none. Shoots great too.  I have no complaint with either set of limbs or the riser. I cant realy see any difference in the risers between the 2, myabe my older one has a higher grip, about all. I think this is a great bargain, considering you can find them used about 30% off, in  great shape. I have mine set up off the shelf, and did drill the riser and put a stab. insert in it, to use a sling. I have small hands,and without a sling, I grip and torque the riser too much. GT 35/55, 150 tips, good to go. Took my 4th turkey this fall season with this bow, 10 yds from a ground blind, as the bird was flopping around, the rest just walked around, bow was so quiet at the shot.

I shoot the tradtech black onyx riser with the ILF longbow limbs.  I have not tinkered too much with all the adjustments.  Got it set and it shoots good so I just don't mess with it.  The wood/glass longbow limbs have done well for me so far.

I am looking for another set of ILF longbow limbs, so I might just have to keep an eye out for dryad's offering.

We have had ILF longbow limbs for 2 years now. I really like the ILF recurve and longbow from the same riser. I've been hunting with both the last two seasons, I can't see me going back to non adjustable bows. A whole lot of recurve limbs are available at all price ranges, Longbow are a little limited right now but more are coming available everyday, Sky , Swan, Trad Tech and many more about to enter the ring. Lot of stuff for a little pond........

this is nice thread i ahve a pinnacle 2 and long bow limbs it shoots well and heres the nice part it got me think'n morrison ilf long bow then you see dryad speaking up this is great.  my question would be how do i lower the weight so i can enjoy 50#s at 30"

[Bob Morrison]

Steve, You get the longest set of limbs you can get and have your 50# set at 5 to 6 turns out on your limb bolt... 30" smooth as butter.

thanks bob ill try it

Who has shorter recurve limbs, I would like something that would give me a 58 or 60" bow, about 50@30", where do I look?

[R H Clark]

With standard ILF limbs you need a 17" riser for a 58" bow with short limbs.Medium limbs make a 60" bow. I think the Pinnacle has a 19" riser so you will need custom limbs.

Just my opinion,
 A 30" draw and short ILF limbs is asking for a bow that stacks, and may have a short life.
