Title: New ilf Longbow Pic's
Post by: RLA on October 23, 2010, 06:09:00 PM
I have sold off most of my bows, I'm down to three and one of the three is in the classifieds here. So I've had a few bows over the years! Who hasn't, so I keep tellin the Wife! But I'm down to shooting just two, the two I intend on keeping for a (long long time) Wife-e-poo. This one may well turn out to be my favorite!

Ryan,that bow is gorgeous, I'm sure she shoots as well as she looks.
I went the same route you did a few years ago,cleaned out the herd and kept only my shooters.
Good luck with yours.  Mo

That bow is drop dead beautiful. I'm just starting to look into the ILF gear. Who makes that riser?

My thoughts also. Who makes the parts? Great looking bow. So, what is your other keeper? I think I'm down to 7 keepers right now   :bigsmyl:

Great looking bow!

I need to do the same thing but I will most likely keep doing what I've been doing until I've had a chance to try all of the bows that catch my eye.

Congratulations!!

God bless,Mudd

PS: If you're plan works out please let me know how you managed it so when my time comes I too can be successful.

What material is that on the front of the riser?
Looks nice!

That's a sharp looking bow.

That is a gorgeous looking bow.  My fist impression is that is a nice Border.  Then asked myself does Border make ILF riser?  Then I said it is a a Border.  Definately a keeper.  Now I know Border ILF is not BigFoot, it does exist.

Ryan, forgot to ask are the limbs also coming from Border?

I would guess those are Morrison limbs, judging by the foam cores and the quality of the skins.

Post by: RLA on October 24, 2010, 01:01:00 PM
MercilessMing, your right on the riser. MRD, you got it right on the limbs. The riser is a 17" triple carbon, the limbs are D longs. Great shooting combo

Thank's for all the complements

I really like the looks of your bow. I'm pretty new to trad archery. Can you tell me what ilf means? Is the from a maker or something that was pieced together? Thanks!

ILF is very popular in Olympic Target shooting.  But there are also many TradGang sponsers making ILF.  Morrison, Belcher/Sky, TradTech and Dryad.

You can mix and match riser and limbs from different vendors.  Limbs also allowing some adjustment for tillering and weight to some extend.  You can also find Hoyt, PSE, Samick, Win&Win Olympic Style riser and recurves.  I have not seen these vendors making longbow limbs yet.

WOW! If you don't mind,what would a riser like that run? Beautiful bow dude,thanks for sharing.  :clapper:
Title: Re: New ilf Longbow Pic's

MercilessMing answered the ilf question and yes this bow is pieced together.

The riser is the new Border Black Douglas triple carbon spine 17" ilf riser, cut 0.32 past center similar to most metal risers.
The riser woods are heritage midnight and Bocote with the carbon reinforcing and buff horn overlay.

The limbs are Bob Morissons carbon foam D longs, longbow limbs 62" on this riser and 41#@28". I already had the limbs and thought they would make a great match with the new riser.

The quiver is from Kanati quivers, it's there 4 arrow hood with a 5 arrow gripper. I'll be shooting a 2 blade broadhead and the 4 arrow hood holds 5 easily.

Thanks....this stuff is way more complicated than my wheel bows. But, I'm learning.

Congrats with a beautiful bow  :thumbsup:  

Really like the work of Sid and he`s company.

What kind of limbs is attached to the riser?

Post by: Margly on October 25, 2010, 02:54:00 PM
Thanks for the info!
Great bow!

Have a similar riser on the way in but not with the ILF system, just a normal  BD Swift Super TCS high grip with 65@31 HEX V H core limbs  :D

Blue Tick, it's really not that complicated. The ilf limb attachment just allows you to adjust your weight and tiller at the limb bolts. Other than that it's still just a stick and string.
Trust me way easier to work on than the wheel bow !
