A list of RISERS available for ILF limbs to made a hunting bow

[ron w]

So, if you purchase a IFL friendly riser, any set of IFL limbs will work to make a bow? And bow length would depend on the riser length? Just trying to get educated!!! Does it matter if the riser is straight or deflexed?

[wingnut]

ILF risers tend to be within a few degrees of each other on limb angle so that's not usually an issue.

Risers come in different lengths and so do limbs.

Limbs are usually short, medium and long.

For example Ron,

17" riser + short limbs = 58" bow (amo)

17" riser + med. limbs = 60" bow

17" riser + long limbs = 62" bow

-----------------------------------------

21" riser + short limbs = 62" bow

21" riser + med limbs + 64" bow

21" riser + long limbs + 66" bow

------------------------------------------

The longbow limbs that I have come in one size and would be considered "longs."

Not sure what the length is on Wingnuts limbs.

There are some limbs that are available in "extra short" but not all.  These would result in a bow that is 2" shorter than the "shorts."

Make sense??

Gene, I have a Black Onyx on the way, with the Black Max limbs.  I went with the medium 50 lb limbs.   If I like the setup, I think I will call Mike at Dryd and get a set of longbow limbs!

Same setup that I have.  But I also have the Trad Tech Titan riser (17") on the way.  I want to have two ILF risers, and play "switch" with various limbs.

The Black Max Carbons are super limbs so far.
The riser is "almost" great.  Only issue is the flat spot on the front of the riser in the grip area.  This leaves two (I dont want to say SHARP) but two distinct edges that are noticeable on the fingers when shooting.  I am going to try to smooth the transition with a piece of black Velcro a little narrower than the width of the flat tomorrow. I am pretty sure that will help.

Gene,

Nothing there that a drum sander won't fix for you.  :^)

Interesting how we see and feel things differently.  I usually have to work on grips, but on the Onyx... well... it was perfect for me.

[Irish]

Gene, how would you compair the grip to a Widow?  I really like the Asbell grip, not so much the regular Widow grip.   I am thinking maybe a roll on rubber grip.  I have that on most of my bows.

Gene, where did you set your brace height at?

[Gene Charbonneau]

Hey Jim

Generally I like the grip fine. Just noticing something that feels a little different than the Widow     :rolleyes:    

I am going to leave it alone for the time being, but as you said, a little sanding might just be in order!  

Mel

Its more like the Asbell grip than the std Widow grip with moderate palm swell.  Nice slim throat.

My brace is at 8" even, but I've got the long limbs.  The TT tech guy said 7 3/4 to 8 1/4 for me. Probably more like 7 1/2 to 8" for your 58"

Intresting, I think I'm learning something...lol! Thanks for the info,your never to old to learn!

[wisconsin wood butcher]

ihave a pinn. 2 with TTlongbow limbs i like it its two turns out from factory to try and get 30" draw and labeled wieght to come togther. so i ordered limbs from mike 50@30... should i be able to turn those two turns back and get 50@30? the pinn2 is a little slender for me the onyx looks interesting .

[azhunter]

I have read several post that the 58 inch black onyx riser and black max limb bow shoots best at   8 1/4 to 8 1/2.  I have one coming this week.

[Bob Morrison]

These ILF longbow limbs that have been built for going on 3 years now.
With foam and carbon also

Are there any new manufactures that make a ILF risers?

[huntmaster80]

Zipper is making an ILF set up now. There is one in the classifieds

[ron w]

Getting a Zipper riser next week, can't wait to try it out!!

[YORNOC]

I often hunt with my 25" Greenhorn Victory B+ riser. Camoed it up. I didn't read this whole thread because so many pages but hell, you can hunt with any ILF riser out there. Even if its flourescent pink, throw a limbskin over it and off you go.
My only concern with metal risers is how horribly cold they get. It goes right through any glove or mitt I've ever had.

I shoot several ILF at the moment:

DAS Hunter excellent riser(17")
DAS Elite goota love these(21")
Nilo makes a loong longbow with dryad limbs(25")
Border all wood a real beauty(19")

And I can change all my limbs back and forward and with that up and down in #

Really good alternatives and man they are good to shoot with  

[riverrat 2]

Never shot any of them,but Black Swan Archerys
takedown longbow and recurve limbs can be ILF
compliant by installing the dovetail plunger assembly onto the upper limbs attachment bolt hole. They have some radical designs,look pretty
sweet,and push arrows to the 200fps mark. Around
$500 beans,not sure about wait time.

[zipper bowss]

We have two styles of ILF risers.The Standard and Extreme they are available in 13",15" and 17".
Examples of Standard risers

I have a friend that has the Hoyt Excel riser with Black Max limbs, he is trying to figure out what quiver to use with it, he likes a five or six arrow model. Will a limb bolt  model work on an ILF riser?
