Just chiming in with what I think most everyone else has already said. You gain 1# per 1" the lower you go over the listed rating on the limbs. Most limbs I've seen are rated on a 25" or a 17" riser. So if you're using an 11" riser,  you would add either 14# or 6# respectively. Not sure what your draw length is but I'd opt for Long or XL's if you're using LB limbs on them. That'd give a 56-58" overall bow length and should be ok up to 28"-29" draw or so.

Over 200 FPS at 10.5 GPP... seriously fast. Bamboo back, maple belly, 40/40 BG static tip Sasquatch SS design at 30" draw length around 62#.

What do you reckon made that particular set of limbs so fast?
And how was it faster than your standard non-ILF static limbs?

It’s hard telling why that particular set was so fast, but I’d guess it was the perfect combination between limb mass weight, preload adjustment vs the draw weight. But those ILF limbs can be fine tuned for preload too.

You can build 3 identical sets of limbs at different draw weights and get different test results with the same gpp arrows. But….There is typically a draw weight on each different limb design that excels. My Standard Sasquatch SS bolt down limbs are pretty high performance limbs, but the 52-60# limbs always out perform the 45-50# limbs at 28” draw lengths.

The lower draw weight limbs do better at longer draw lengths consistently….

BG  Is an abbreviation for black glass Stic….
