Tell me about your ILF hunting set up.
« on: May 01, 2014, 04:25:00 PM »
I have been messing around with a 56" recurve ILF set up and it's really impressing me. Anybody hunting with an ILF set up that they really like?

i have two, first is a ******** Titan1 riser with 45# Blackmax Carbon limbs in long, ans a Warfed Black Bear riser with the same limbs in mediums, the Titan comes out to a 60" bow and the Black Bear is a 64" bow. Theses two are fast becoming my favorite bows to shoot. I just bought a used set of Hex-5 limbs from a fella on here, should have them by next week, i think these are going to be awesome on either riser.

I haven't gotten into one yet. Several guys around here (Utah) are shooting the TT Titan also with same or similar blackmax limbs as above. Most shoot of a rest with plunger. Still can't go down that road but they shoot good and are starting to look cooler to me. I do like the ILF idea for sure.

I'm currently using a 15" Phoenix and Dryad Epic RC limbs. Strung, the bow is 58" due to the curves in the limbs. I like that it's compact! Shooting off the shelf.

I have a 17" Zipper with 2 sets of Dryad statics, 39-43# and 44-48#. I have not hunted with it yet. I'm messing around with a ** ** Recon 15" with 40# Black Max shorts. Even with a 29" draw it seems to behave very well. I also have a Morrison mini 14" but my wife has claimed it.....lol!

I have 3 sets of risers and 3 sets of limbs and mix and match. Probably my favorite is my Morrison 17" wood riser and the SF Elite plus limbs [about $275 at Alt services]

 I also have the Titan and I shoot it as good as anything- the mass makes it so nice to shoot- going to use it for carp when my elbow finally heals.

 I have another BC riser that I modified and it feels real good but the metal limb pockets squeak and grind for some reason, electric tape quiets it for a few shots then its back. I like the limb angle of the Morrison the best too- the others are a bit more sloped.

I shoot a DAS master hunter, with border hex 6bb2 limbs and love them.  I shot winex limbs off the same riser before the borders.

I am waiting on mine. The funny thing that got me going towards this is the bowyers I've talked to that have already changed to ILF 3 or more years now. The tuning and interchangeability is amazing and grips and limbs are outstanding. Jim Belcher told me you can use a solid plunger to tune center shot for different spined arrows. All have said it is very durable and is what they travel with hunting.

I have an old Hoyt Rambo riser with some no name carbon-wood limbs that I would hunt with in a minute. The bow pulls at 48# and with the skinny string it is quite with just a set of whiskers on it. I use a modified brush rest, no plunger.

Sky TDX 15" riser for me with cheapo Winex recurve meds limbs pulling 54 lbs. maxed out. I would like to get some top o the line limbs someday. But it shoots good and is the quietest bow I own.

I have had the Morrison, Titan and now a Zipper with Bills Carbon Foam limbs.
All very, very nice bows but have to say I am partial to the Zipper.

I have a Vpa vapor 13" riser with centaur XL ilf limbs 50@28". I must say I have never liked a bow this much. I just had Jim build me another set of ilf limbs in the same weight for back up for a hunting trip I'm taking in November. Jim is a super nice guy!

Wow, what a bunch of different stuff. I guess that's one of the good things about ILF.....anything goes...lol! I still need to find the right set of longbow limbs. Are all longbow limbs longs??

sky crossfire for me. spigarelli zt rest shibuya plunger 12 inch bstinger stab and I string walk it. It shoots way better than I can. The tunability on it is really nice for getting broadheads flying perfect.
