My new to me ILF limbs.....WOW!!!!
« on: April 05, 2012, 02:26:00 PM »
I picked up a set of ILF limbs from the Classifieds, got them in the mail today. Dryad Epic Static recurve longs. They are 36-40# and on my 17" Zipper riser they max out at 42#. Shot them some this afternoon and I am impressed.   :thumbsup:   With 50-55 poplar, 2114 Alum., and 45-60 Carbon Express arrows it is a joy to shoot. Shooting this low weight has helped me to try to beat my target panic and this set up seems to fit me perfectly. Not only do they shoot well, but the "dirty boo" under clear glass is easy on the eyes as well. Even though I got them used my hats off to Dryad for the workmanship and quality of their product!!   :notworthy:

Glad you like them Ron.

I know you have  a bow rack but sounds like you should build a limb rack soon too.   :readit:    :biglaugh:

I was shooting mine tonight. They are sweet shooting limbs. I see no need to upgrade to the top of the line premium limbs either.

Took the Zipper out for a work out at a 3/D today with the boys. This riser and limb combo is going to be on the rack for a long time. I really like the way the Static limbs feel when you get it back to full draw, It is smooth and quick for its weight....   :thumbsup:

Been looking at Dryad for a while now, might just have to save some pennies I think!

My son had a Dryad Epic recurve. Not only was it smooth and quick, it was whisper quiet also.  :thumbsup:
