Question adjusting ilf limbs poundage
« on: July 28, 2013, 11:20:00 PM »
I am in the process of buying an ilf rig from a member here.My questions is if I order a pair of limbs, say 55#,will that be the maximum that my bow will be able to shoot or the minimum?(to make things easier lets assume we are talking  a 28" draw.)
From my cold,dead hands..

It depends upon the mfgr.  If I recall correctly, listed poundage on ******** is the minimum but Hoyts are the Maximum.  Bottom line is that the mfgr makes a difference.  I would recommend a call to the bow maker or check their web site to make sure.

It depends on the brand, I own two different brands, one(Dryad) labels it at mid preload on a 19" riser and the other labels it at minimum preload and mentions the length of the riser/limbs combo. Limbs I was told once, are adjustable about 10% of what they are marked. If you got the coin, I highly recommend the Dryad ILF Legends!

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!
