How many are shooting ILF bows??

buckster · December 31, 2009, 06:46:00 PM

Same as Bill, I have a DAS Elite and DAS Daala. I also have a 16" Morrison ILF.

These are pretty much the only bows I hunt with, don't want to dirty up any of my pretty wood bows in the field.

Yep...I have a Morrison and it's an amazing little bow.

I've been shooting a LH DAS Master with TT longbow limbs this season. I just put a set of recurve limbs on it and have been liking the speed and short length.

It shoots real well. Fast and stable.

I've always shot bows I made myself, and I'm going to be going back to them now that my curiosity has been satisfied. If any lefties are interested, keep an eye on the classifieds.

What exactly is ILF? Are Quinn limbs ILF? Thanks.

Pete W · December 31, 2009, 07:44:00 PM

I have a few, Trad Tech Titan, PinnacleII and a Black Onyx, and a couple Hoyt TD3's that I converted to ILF.
The combinations that are available to have with a couple risers and limbs is endless.
Good limbs can be found for little money like the TT black max Wood Glass that shoot very nice, up to the TT BF Extreem at $600,or top end Hoyt, Border or Win and Win or a custom limb like Bob Morrison makes.

Being able to have several diferent length risers and a single set of limbs can make a lot of diferent bow combinations in draw length and weights.Add more limbs and the possiiliyt's are endless.

Interchanging limbs and risers is great.

Thanks for the comments ,
Those Black Onyx risers and the Black Max Glass limbs make a sweet little bow.

Yep....DAS bows are ILF with the above stated 30 second bushing change. The DAS bow grew out of the WARF which uses ILF limbs. The term ILF refers to the manner in which the FITA target limbs are attached to the riser. DAS made a modification to eliminate alignment problems but the limbs are otherwise ILF limbs and are adjusted the same. The use of ILF limbs on hunting bows done the way that Dave Soza upgraded the idea using an engineered.machined short hunting riser really raised the bar on bow performance and it is nice to see that after 5 years or so of people complaining that they were not traditional that they are now not only accepted but sought after with a few American companies taking the concept seriously. I doubt that I will ever shoot a different bow/riser. Limbs, on the other hand, will be "played with" as time goes on, I get older, limbs become more efficient, etc.

I have a Pinnacle II with TT longbow limbs and three Titans risersd with five sets of limbs. My son shoots an Onyx with Black Max limbs.

Gary Greene · December 31, 2009, 09:32:00 PM

I have a W&W Winact with Hoyt vector limbs and I have a Proline thats been Warfed with Greenhorn limbs.Both are great shooting bows. I also love shooting my other bows. It's all good.

Lenny Stankowitz · December 31, 2009, 10:17:00 PM

Wow, the ILF concept sure has come a long way in the last couple years. (hunting bows that is...)

Interesting to see all the different combos.

Me too--I'm hooked. My current hunting bow is a TradTech Black Onyx. I also have an 18" Morrison, a 17" Haddox, and a 23" Hoyt Avalon Plus.

red44 · January 01, 2010, 08:33:00 AM

Me too, a couple of Warfs.

We have thrown our hat into the ILF ring also. We are offering our ILF longbow limbs starting on Monday and will have a wood 15" riser ready in a couple of months.

What is a "Haddox" Jim, I don't think I have ever heard of that?

QuoteOriginally posted by BMG:
Is the DAS connection really an ILF? I'm not bashing the bow or the brand (don't get upset b/c I asked a question). I don't think you can take DAS limbs and put them on an ILF riser or vice versa UNLESS some modifications are done.

That's kind of what I was thinking Brian. I was always kind of confused by that. It was my understanding that Mr. Sosa actually eliminated the ILF system on his 17" riser because he thought the system was flawed for that particular application.

There really isn't any such thing as an ILF limb, it's really just a limb with an ILF fitting. If you remove the ILF fitting, doesn't it just become another 3pc takedown design?

Not that it matters that much really, just a little confusing.

He's a local guy with a CNC machine in his shop. He took a TAC riser and a Titan riser, took some measurments, and married what he thought was the best of the two and made a couple prototypes. I got #2-it's a great riser. I had him make it so a DAS poly grip would fit it.

He's since changed things a bit to give it a "better" look. He sells them for $200.00 each. You put on your Hoyt grip and finish it however you like. I just painted mine. I'm thinking of getting another one and have Lonnie film-dip it.
