How ironic, I have a Morrison, Titan III and a warfed Black Bear riser and a Buffalo.

I have a TITAN w/ Hoyt recurve and Trad Tech longbow limbs. Also have a Black Creek ILF w/ Black Max limbs.
Where else can you find a different set of limbs for 100-200 dollars used? And they shoot very accurately. Roy
Maybe it is time to shoot what I have on the rack

I have a 15" TT Recon ILF,17" Morrison metal ILF,25" PSE ILF and a Hoyt Buffalo.Though a Hoyt Buffalo is not an ILF,it uses Hoyt formula system.

I wouldn't mind trying if this riser would work.  

Can anyone tell me if this looks like ILF?

It's an old PSE Sierra Hunter.

I had one for a few years.  It was fun and it shot very well, but I sold it and went back to non ILF bows.

I just got into ILF a month ago. Bought a used Titan riser and a new set of Blackmax carbons med, and just bought the same in longs, used. I really like this ILF stuff, had a Bear Black Bear warfed by Sam and should be on its way back to me now.

I wish some of these trad sites had a chat and f/s or  f/t.section for ILF, that would be awesome.

I drank the ILF cool-aid to the point of selling all my other bows. Three Morrison ILF risers, a gen 3 13" metal that's my favorite, an all phenolic mini 14" that my oldest son shoots, and a mini 14" fancy riser my my wife shoots...all three with bob's carbon/foam longbow limbs.

Just had Sam Dunham mill a Hoyt gamemaster riser to accept ILF that I'm building to try and convert my best friend to trad.

The beauty of ILF is not only adjustability and versatility, but the absolute overwhelming number options for limbs that are completely inter changeable. That "standard" fitting that allows complete mix and match between bowyers is the stuff archer's dreams are made of.

The only downside I see is that the ILF bows are just not a pretty as others.  Unfortunately I like the looks of striking wood under a clear glass and it keeps pulling me away from the ILF.  Right how I am looking at a 40# ILF and a 42# "traditional" take-down.  Once I get a firm number and sale condition, it is going to be a tough call.
It is easy to see how guys end up with several bows at once....

My Zipper is really pretty, ebony and Zebra wood with elk antler overlays. My other that my wife shoots is cocobolo and shedua.....not to hard on the eyes either.
