Very good advice and something anybody not familiar with this information, should be, before buying an unfamiliar bow.

I have a titan 17" and love it. great size for me since I like 60" bows, shot it as a 58" for alittle and it was a good shooter but not as good for me.

I have a 17" Titan 2 with set of WW Sebastian Fluke carbon limbs on the way. Mine will be long 40's and the bow is 45@28 and 62" long. I should have it early next week. I have never handled an ILF bow so I am anxious to see what these animals are all about.

Another vote for the Dalla. I like the limb attachment system better and think it is potentially quieter since the limbs reat on a rubber pad to absorb vibration.

I've got a 17" DAS riser with Bob Morrison's super short MAX I limbs. Couldn't be happier. Makes a 56" bow and at my  28" is very smooth, fast and stable...very quiet as well. My wife has the same limbs on her riser and she draws 26"....fastest set of limbs she has shot.
