Our limbs will be on the way to Blacky shortly.  Not sure if Border is sending any.

I´ve ordered those ACS RC ILF limbs yesterday.
And a nice 17" Dryad Epic ILF riser some weeks ago.
Man, I´m pretty curious, cant wait till february...  :)
I´ve been shooting Border HEX 5 for a year and a half, so I can compare subjectively.
I will report.
Bezaleel ILF riser + Border HEX6 limbs 50#@29"
Morrison XD riser + Border HEX6 limbs 51#@29"

These follow the trend of the longer ILF limbs being faster than the shorter ones of the same draw weight?  

I'm seriously thinking about mating a pair of these long limbs to my 13" ILF riser.  That'd be a scary 58" curve.

Mike,
on the website under pricelist I don't see the price for a orion riser listed, just for the complete standard orion bow.
The ACS recurve limbs are $625 as mentionied   above in this post, but how much is a orion bolt down riser? Same pricing as with the Epic risers?
I guess that is the same question Kirk has...
Thanks...

Mike,
I´m pretty sure the result will be awesome.
I really look forward to that Dryad bow.
Its the first one for me, I´ve never shot one.
But the limb design looks very promising and the dryad epic ilf risers are eyecatcher. imho

Did Blacky complete the test? I could not find it on his website. Thanks.

Mike I'm trying to figure out how long a set up would be from the website and I must be dense. I am interested in a 17" riser but with the shortest limb that is still effecient on that riser (large head and hands and only 27" draw). What would the bow length be?

Also I missed it in the thead. What were the specs on the bow that Blackie tested?

I'm not sure but I think Blacky's tests are done with a release on the shooting machine.
