Bob Morrison gave a good list of bows, except that I would have put his ILF bow first, not last like he did. I love Bob's bows, and the ILF may be the best of the models he builds (although I have more of his Cheyennes and Shawnees and wouldn't part with any of them). The ILF is the most versatile of his bows. Personally, I like the Mini-13 or the Mini-15 with the "D" longbow limbs the best. I have a 3 year old Mini-14 phenolic riser with low grip that is wonderful. I originally got the "C" foam/carbon longbow limbs that I really like, but am at the limit of their draw potential with my 29.5" draw length. That combination makes a short and handy 56" bow that is wonderful for just about any hunting. I later bought some "D" foam/carbon longbow limbs that add a couple of extra inches, but give me a nicer, smoother draw that I would definitely choose if I were not going to be cramped for space while hunting. Bob makes great recurve limbs too, and I have a bunch of them, mostly for my multiple Cheyenne bows. Bob's mounting and adjustment system is very nice, and he shapes every riser himself, so you can get exactly what you want. I like the phenolic risers he produces and highly recommend them as good-looking, tough, strong, functional workhorses; however, his beautiful exotic wood risers are what I have the most of and love looking at.
Nothing wrong with the other models Bob mentioned, and I sure don't want to suggest they are not good choices. Mike, Jason and Connie Westvang are all wonderful people, and they have created many beautiful Dryad bows. I especially think their ILF risers are good and, like the other makers' risers, will accommodate so many different ILF limbs. One of the nice things about ILF is you can mix and match risers and limbs depending on what you find. Just be aware that the weights shown for the limbs vary depending on which riser it is installed on.
