best ilf limbs for hunting and target
« on: February 17, 2014, 04:09:00 PM »
I going to get a pinical2 by TT and start off with the black max limbs. I however want to get better ones soon. I've heard of hex and sky but what other top quality limbs are out there. I will mainly hunt with the bow but want a light set of limbs for stumping and 3d and such. Also are there any limbs to just stay away from.

That's going to be difficult to say the best as there are so many ILF limbs out there.How much are you wanting to spend?You can get a good quality carbon/wood limbs for around $250 or can spend as much as $600 to $700+ for top quality carbon/foam limbs.

Dryad ACS limbs are as good as it gets.  He is also a sponsor.

Not saying their the best but I really like Dryad Static tip recurve limbs. Like they say.....you get what you pay for. But even some of the more economical limbs shoot just fine.

Its hard to say anymore. Sky, Border, Dryad, and Morrison would be what I looked at first. They all offer lots of performance options and price points.

I've only shot a 1/2 dozen different limbs for comparison and haven't shot the Dryads.

Border has a new limb that is supposed to be better than his Hexx 6- if you can get past the shepards hook look of them. I've shot the Hex5 and they felt good with almost a slight letoff at full draw.

Almost all of the foam limbs were fantastic. The W&W Innos and SF Elite foams are great. The SF elites are probably the best high performance bang for the buck [about $300] Alt Services

 The SF Carbon/wood limb at $170 is excellent and I bet anyone used to shooting custom bows would be shocked at how fast and smooth they are- especially for the price.

I have several sets of the TT limbs and a set of the Dryad ACS RC and the Dryads are night and day better and you can get a way with a lot less draw weight with them to get the same performance.

I have the same thoughts as Fastltz. Currently I have a set of the SF Elites and they are very nice limbs. But a few years ago I had a set of Border hex5 wood cores and really liked the way they felt and the way they performed. But things happen and I had to part with em. Now I'm thinking about picking up a set of Dryads or Max1's..... but which one? I can only do this once. Now that I think about it, I do like the feel of a foam core in a standard limb so I should probably go with Max1's.

I do worry about stability, are they going to be as accurate as my SF's?

I like the Border HEX 6s the  most of the ILF limbs I have had.

I have two sets of BF Extremes and I love them. I hear TT Extremes are also real good for less money but have never shot them.

I also have a set of Black Max and had a set of Dryad Epics but neither will run with the BF Extremes.

You didn't say if you wanted the recurve or longbow limbs? I have Morrison carbon/foam recurve and Centaur carbon/bamboo longbow limbs. Both are excellent performers, with a slight edge to the Centaur limbs which are a bit smoother and quieter. I have had also a set of Black Max recurve limbs (noisy, to me) and Morrison longbow (foam,glass, noodles to me). Best is to try a few before you decide, but you can't really go wrong with any of the top bowyers' products.

Well I was thinking recurve but I hadn't really thought about longbow...what's the advantage between the 2 or is just preference.

Lots of great suggestions here.  If you want some limbs that are a super value with superb fit and finish and are some of the sweetest shooting and smooth limbs available try a set of Sebastien Flute Elite+.  They have a matte carbon finish and some graphics but are understated enough to be fine for hunting etc IMHO.  I have a set combined with a Black Bear Warf riser and man does the combo shine.  Shoots as good as anything out there.  SF Elite+ normally go for $400 but you can get them on sale from Alternative Sporting Services in the UK for $290 with only about a 10 day ship time.  I've tried a bunch of ILF limbs and so far they are my favorites.  So smooth and actually genuinely quiet for a recurve limb.

I have a set of the SF Ultimate Pro's, SF's fastest limb. I see ASS has them on sale for 259.00, that is a steal!!
