who makes a less than 15" ILF riser and inexpensive?
« on: May 06, 2014, 07:01:00 PM »
I have five sets of ILF limbs four are longs and one set is x-long. Would like to be able to make a good shorter setup for the turkey blind. I remember seeing a used 13" riser on fleabay or in the classifieds, don't remember which now but don't know the manufacturer. Don't really want to spend a bunch for a high end riser. Metal would be fine too.

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

Bill Dunn AKA Zipper bows makes a nice 13" riser and so does VPA with their 13" riser. I couldn't find a price on VPA's website but it looks like a really nice riser to me.

Dryads 13" riser starts at only $350, less than most of the imported ******** risers.

All great suggestions.  Morrison makes a 13" Phoenix metal riser.  Awesome quality.  Not cheap but also not expensive considering what you get.  Used ones come available from time to time on some of the other forums.  

For ILF gear try the Tradtalk forum.  It's a real ILF haven.  

Dryad's offering is a real nice option for the money.  They can custom make it to fit your hand out of a single color of actionwood with black glass reinforcements for $350.

VPA's short riser is really cool and right around $400. SKY would be the pinnacle in my opinion but they are also the most expensive. I have really gotten to where I prefer a metal riser for my hunting bow as they are muck sleeker than a wood riser.

I've been doing custom wood ILF risers built to your specs off and on for awhile, but they aren't cheap... Mine start out at $450 and go to $650 depending on woods and upgrades.

All of them i use G-10 reinforcement though.

David,

Give me a call.  I've got a couple 13" in stock that you might be interested in.

Also if you wanted, you could pick up a 13" Orion and use the limbs you already have.

Dave, I have a Dryad Epic 15 you can try out unless your set on a shorter one.
