As many choices as you can imagine, wood risers, metal risers, limb choices that boggle the mind. My choice for a hunting rig is a Hoyt Excel riser with TT carbon/foam limbs. I have an AAE maxflight rest. Endless loop string. Not sure what brand bowquiver, it was given to me.  Right now this rig is at my son’s house in PA. Hoping to get to use it soon.

I just set up a new Win&Win Black Wolf riser with a set of Uukha EX1 Evo2's, MAN what a sweet rig!  Shoots like a dream.

Find yourself a cheap 'warf' riser or Hoyt Excel and an inexpensive set of Sebastian Flute or Kaya limbs to get you started.  You can shoot off the shelf using a furniture pad sideplate or get a cushion plunger and a flipper rest.  ILF is a whole world of adjustability, the Tradtalk site is devoted to it and a wealth of information.

I got a warfed riser for $80 bucks, and a set of limbs for $90. Shooting it of the shelf and it shoots as good as my high dollar rigs. Just take your time and find gear the fits you and your style of shooting.

Only thing I'll add, if you want to use longbow limbs, get the riser from the same bowyer. Sometimes they will interchange between brands well and sometimes not, I recommend playing it safe with those unless you can shoot the combo first.

I shot a warf Bear riser/Hoyt shorts limbs with plates installed for the first time ever last night in my basement. Didn't even put a rest on it, shot right off the hard riser shelf. I just wanted to see how the bow felt on the shot, didn't expect any accuracy. Eyeballed the nock point and let`er rip. At 15 yards my first shot hit bull. The next shot scraped a feather almost off the first arrow. Amazing that these warf ILF bows shoot that well. Dang thing is dead in the hand and super smooth. Cant wait to shoot it more once it's actually tuned!

Every serious competitive archer shoots ILF bows.  There are many reasons why.  The ability to interchange limbs and risers is a big plus.  There are a couple of benefits to using bolt-down risers and matched limbs versus ILF.  But overall ILF is where most of the industry is going.

I recently put together an ILF bow. It is my first one so I wanted to stay sorta inexpensive and I really like it so far..

I'm using a 21" Hoyt Excel riser ($200) with SF Axion+ limbs. ($89). Medium length limbs + 21" riser = 64" bow.. I'm shooting off of a NAP Centerrest.  It is a great shooting bow. Smooth draw, decently quiet(haven't done anything besides rubber string silencers), and not much if any handshock.
