Title: ILF limbs chipping
Post by: LongStick64 on July 30, 2010, 10:10:00 AM

Is it normal for the ilf limbs to chip on the edges where they bump up against the bolts.

All the ILF bolts I have seen have a smooth brass tube that seems to me would solve that problem. It fits right under the bolt head and the rounded portion of the ILF limb fits right against it.

Thanks Bill, I think I have a pair lying around somewhere so I'll try it. I wonder if I can use the bolts from my Hoyt Excel. I would be using them on my Mini 13.

Here's what an ILF bolt looks like. I believe the brass sleeve is 3/8" diam.
