I'd invest in a good ilf riser and upgrade limbs incrementaly. I just bought Epic 15" from Mike at dryad and couldn't be happier with it. Ilf allows such a variety with limbs in weight and performance. I own a pair of medium samick Extreme BF limbs that make a 58" bow with an 15" riser that is comfortable to shoot at my 29" draw.

Thanks all for the words of advice and encouragement. 

So, to clarify a few things:
I'm not able to view the classifieds here.  I have been looking at AT and Stickbow occasionally and my local CL but nothing has come up that has caught my eye enough to spend any money. 

My current bow has a pistol grip and I wouldn't be inclined to cut it.  I like her as is. Neat suggestion.  If I went that way, I'd send it to the bowyer to do for me.  I'm handy but I wouldn't feel comfortable taking a shot at it.

I am very seriously considering an ILF riser.  For some reason, the Hoyt offering has really caught my eye (the Satori) but she's pricey.  IF I do anything like that it will be after the new year.  This isn't the time of year to spend on me (unless I'm buying parts for my match pistol, but that's another story). 

Thanks again for all the encouragement.

I own a Satori 17" and like it a lot. The grip is comfortable for my style of shooting (extended wrist). I like the riser for stationary hunting and target shooting because it is quite heavy. Also the tuneability is great.

Precisely the size I am looking at.  What limbs and poundage do you shoot?  Are you running aftermarket limbs or the Hoyt limbs?

I've shot it with medium samick Extreme BF limbs 50#@29", medium TT Wood core (made by samick) 69#@29" and x-long Dryad Epic lb 52#@29". The mediums give a 60" bow lenght and are a pleasure to shoot, I dont notice any stacking at my draw. I only bought the riser since I already had good limbs so I have not shot the Hoyt limbs.
