I’m confused as well. But than again I’m not real familiar with the ILF mounting system.

I was wondering why you routed all the way from the end of the riser to the limb bolt. Is there a reason you routed to the threaded insert?

Me too! But it looks you know what you are doing. Truth be told, I have never seen an ILF riser.

I see what you mean, Kenny. You could probably fill it with JB or ??? How about inletting a piece of the same material?

Maybe just leave as is?

Just a mistake. First one! LOL

Yep Mike I will probably size some phenolic and glue back in there, no harm, just hate that I did that.

My excuse- had several guys come to shop yesterday , must have broken my wagon train of thought..... :D

In order to fit a limb into the dovetail, you need some more space in front of the dovetail so the limb can drop down and then be pushed into the dovetail-- I'm not sure, but it looks like as is, a limb wouldn't fit into the brass insert.

The limb goes in easily, it is made same as my pse riser except with a partially closed end to hide the brass hardware somewhat.

I might be imagining the cross section of your riser wrong. I'm trying to imgaine the riser, do you have any picture of it from the end view? I know this isn't clear, sorry.

kennym · « **Reply #48 on:** January 31, 2018, 08:55:00 PM »

Check this one out. I covered the hardware on end except where the locator that snaps into the brass bushing goes. Slides right in there...

I have now fitted phenolic with a drilled hole to bring the surface back up to flush where the bolt goes.... IF I build another one, won't do that again!!

It is hard to make these look sleek......

Still working on it...

Any updates? We won't let you get away that easily...

kennym · « **Reply #51 on:** February 04, 2018, 12:21:00 PM »

Made some progress, will try to get a pic of it. Think twice, act once is my motto on it now... :D

kennym · « **Reply #52 on:** February 04, 2018, 02:57:00 PM »

She's on a diet now getting in shape for the shooting......

Awesome job, Kenny.

kennym · « **Reply #54 on:** February 04, 2018, 03:54:00 PM »

Thanks Rev!

That is a sexy bow.

mwosborn · « **Reply #56 on:** February 04, 2018, 05:29:00 PM »

Looks nice Kenny - well done.

kennym · « **Reply #57 on:** February 06, 2018, 12:38:00 PM »

Here I'm getting closer to shape I want, which is a copy of my hunting bow. The limbs are mine off a pse ghost. On this bow they take a 57" string so must be a 60" bow with these limbs?

Bvas · « **Reply #58 on:** February 06, 2018, 01:54:00 PM »

Looking good Kenny. Looks like you still have some diet plans in mind for her. I like the steeper belly radius on your hunting bow. Does this interfere with the ILF hardware?

styksnstryngs · « **Reply #59 on:** February 06, 2018, 05:45:00 PM »

How long is the riser from end of dovetail to end of dovetail? If it's 17", and the limbs are mediums, that would be 60". Or long limbs on a 15" riser measured from the ends of the dovetails.
