ugly ILF?
« on: March 06, 2016, 12:01:00 PM »
This is my 52" hunting setup,one of them anyway. I wanted to show our new Max4 limbs. I did Chrono work on it this morning, 48.2# at 26" 434 gr arrow (9GPP)190.8 fps. back limbs off to 44# @ 26" my hunting arrows 535 gr. 12 gpp and was getting 168-169 fps. I bet snakeskins would dress it up.

Yep pretty ugly bows . If you want to you can hide them at my place. Nice set ups and far from ugly.
You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.

Bob, you know I've been a big fan of your bows for years. I have a couple sets of the earlier Max limbs, how do the new ones differ from the earlier models?

Nice.....very respectable speeds for the arrow weight and draw length.

Roy, there is 1" more in the curve than Max1,A new Carbon layup, the shape is a little different also. A little faster.Very stable quiet limb. We are making these here in my Sons shop.

Really nice Bob. I've owned one of your ILF wood risers for several years and they are beautiful. Does the Max4 design react like a longer bow when drawn as far as angle on the string?

Any of our Max limb designs will get you about 2 more inches of draw.

That's moving along pretty quick for a 26" draw. It would be interesting to see the numbers at 9 gpp @ 28" draw.

Jim, I have a set of Mediums that are 53# @ 28" That get one more coat of finish, I should pick them up Monday. I'll run them at 28" and 30" and see what we get.

That's a beauty of a rig Bob. It's no joke those limbs are quiet either. I have max 1's with yarn puffs and they are as quiet as my longbows.
