Tell me about your ILF hunting set up.

[azhunter]

Zipper 13" Extreme and Dryad/ACS 4G longbow limbs.

[BWD]

I've got a 15" dryad,+15 riser, with samick universal, wood/glass, short, recurve limbs, that I sanded on a tad and painted. The combination makes for a 56" bow, with a generous portion of preload, which works well with my 26" draw. Nothing fancy, but I don't require fancy.

[ozzyshane]

Ron used a few dif combos all work good what ive found is that the ilf rigs seem to like a stiff arrow for some reason Thanks Shane

[katman]

longrifle, winex is a top end limb made by winn&winn

Ron check Dryad's site for the acs longbow limbs, medium, long, and extra long.

I recently picked up a 17" morrison metal genII and my first attempt at limbs was a fail. I bought a pair of long blackmax recurve 50lbs and they ended up scaling out at 67lbs at my DL of 29".  Could anybody give me advice, I am looking for a limb weight of around 50 lbs.

[muley40]

I have original 17" Titan with Uukha XO limbs and Titan III with Uukha Ex1 limbs they are the nicest shooting bows that I have ever owned,

[Bob Morrison]

Centex, It sounds like you got the Gen 2 short draw riser, that is for 26" max draw. At your draw your not going to be happy at all.

[Dave Paradowski]

I have a Hoyt Excel riser and TT short Blk Max 50lb limbs. Very happy with the bow....Dave

[rufus_d]

I shoot a trad tech with 40lb and 55lb limbs. Lately I put dryad 55lb recurve limbs on a gamemaster 2.I love the handle and shoot it well. The only problem is stringing it. Have to be cautious.

[reddogge]

Have three.

Titan III with 45# BF Extreme limbs and shoot with a furniture pad and TRAP feather rest.

A 17" Morrison wood riser with 45# BF Extreme limbs shot off the shelf.

A Bear Black Bear warf with 35# Black Max limbs for light target work.

[savage1]

One of my rigs is a best zenit 24" with carbon limbs and the other is a black bear warf. I can't say enough about kaya limbs.

All very, very nice bows but have to say I am partial to the Zipper.

Hi all, new to the forum but have been a solid lurker on here throughout the years. Thanks to everyone for their contributions on their ILF experiences as it really helps! I have been exhaustively researching as I will have a Bezaleel Bow Works ziricote 15" ILF riser on the way... hopefully within a few months!

Builder, how do you like the Zipper limbs? I have been looking at them and am curious if you ever tried the Zipper Hunter series ILF limbs (glass/wood) as well. Hope to not offend anyone about speed comparisons, but have you run the Zipper carbon/foam limbs through the chrono? Just would like to have some framework because I am attracted to the price point of the Hunter series limbs but could definitely be convinced to getting the carbon/foam limbs...

thanks!

[Builder]

Have not run them through a Chrono.
I've had wood glass, Carbon wood glass, and one other set of Carbon foam limbs.
Also had a set of the ACS-CX, nice limbs.
I just really like the Zipper Carbon Foam feel, they are incredibly smooth to the draw.
I can't tell by watching the arrow if they are slower than the ACS or not which were the quickest I had owned. The arrow penetration into the target also is about identical.
They are near identical in weight.
Good luck, lots of great options.

[Mamba]

Funny Katman, I thought the same thing when I read that.  Not cheap at all.  I have my original wines limbs from David Sousa, they are nice and bulletproof, but no comparison to my borders.

[el chupa nibre]

Thanks for the insight on the Zipper limbs, Builder. I guess that is the issue... there are so many good options! I may just bite the bullet and get the Hunter series and then later decide I want to upgrade to carbon/foam limbs. Worst case scenario is I have a bomber set of no-fuss limbs.

Getting excited! Just put down my deposit on the Bezaleel riser!

[Pointer]

Had a Pinnacle II for a while with Black max limbs..also have a warfed Bear and Proline Riser with those limbs

[tippit]

For airline travel & turkey blinds this year, I was using my Morrison ILFmetal 13" Gen 3 riser & early Dryad epic recurve limbs to make a 56" 45# blind bow...two birds down.  I was with Bill Dunn this weekend @ TN Classic and having Bill make me a set of 45# 56" longbow limbs  for my 13" Zipper Extreme ILF riser...tippit

   

[el chupa nibre]

Tippit, are they going to be the newest Zipper Evolution Z4 limbs?

[Wheels2]

Titan III with 40# and 45# long Black Max carbon limbs.  With my draw and limbs turned down until bushings contact riser, I am getting 48# and 53# of actual draw weight.  Shooting full length shafts.  G/T Kinetics .500 with 125 tip on the 40# limbs and Easton Aftermath .400 with 125 tips on the 45# limbs.
At some point I am thinking of trading the 40# limbs for a set of 35# and use them indoors over the winter.

[monkeyball]

Titan 1,in the Satin Black. Black Max Carbon limbs coming in at just under 45#. A very nice outfit with lots of options. Just took some Das limbs and installed some ILF bushings,they are in the Lost Camo and look real nice with the black riser.

                                       Good Shooting,
