Hoyt Dorado

[Jack Whitmire Jr]

Do these bows have ILF limbs? The ones a couple of years old have them also?

What do you guys think?

By definition the Dorado does not use ILF limbs.  ILF refers to the bushing/connection system.  The Dorado uses and different bushing and bolts down solidly to the riser; it offers no adjustment.

Other manufacturers limbs will fit the Dorado by simply changing out the ILF bushing for the Hoyt GameMaster/Dorado bushing.  In some cases you may need to grind some stock from the limb butts too.

I believe Jim Casto Jr is right on.  There are bushing kits out there to adapt them.  You may check with someone like 3Rivers or Lancaster Archery.  I checked into it one time and I think one of them had what you will need.

If you have a reamer, you can get some sintered bronze sleeve bearing from amazon and ream the inner diameter to be slightly larger than 1/4" to fit the Dorado pin.  I believe 3/8" OD, 1/4" ID sleeve bearing would replace most ILF detent bushing.

BTW, I heard Gamemaster limb also work for Dorado.  If that so, then those conversion kit from 3R or Lancaster for Gamemaster may work.

Thanks guys but I'm too lazy to tinker that much, I woudld just as soon buy tradtech or other ILF suitable risers and limbs .
