Title: My ILF longbow
Post by: Margly on September 07, 2011, 10:32:00 AM

Hi!
I just switched some bows with my good friend Nathan aka "buejeger" and in the switch I received a pair of almost brand new Dryad legend- ACS limbs that shows 57@28 on a 19" riser.

I have a beautiful dymonwood Border triple carbon spine riser with buff horns, a real nice high grip and good and stabile in the hand.

So I paired these top bowyer products and what a match :bigsmyl:

To say this awesome longbow is fast would be an understatement...
my specs:
65-66@ ca 31"

645 grain easton fmj

185 fps :bigsmyl:

It`s dead silent, smooth and the best part...I really thought I pulled ca 60# so this limbs from Dryad is highly recommendable :thumbsup:

Thanks
Another must have. List sure is getting long.
Great looking set up.

Yes this setup is one of the better bows I`ve had in my "stable"

And I like the idea and the possibility to change the limbs from recurve to longbow with the same riser. Gives me a good well known grip on any limbs:)

For hunting I guess I would change the point from 150 grains as today and use a silver flame in 210 grains, that would give me a speed in the 175`ish and a arrow weight of ca 705, and that will really penetrate the hogs :D

In fact I`ll try that setup tomorrow.

Very nice rig . .. indeed!!

The ACS limbs seem to like the Border riser. That's good to know.

Good Luck on the hogs!!

http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z473/ryanwhitaker/001.jpg Margly,this is my ACS ILF combo.
Morrison riser,Bob did the skins. 47-51 lber.
Need a skinnier string though,I think it will
perform a bit quieter with one ;)

Good morning :)

So as I mentioned yesterday I would like to test this bow combo with a 340 easton 340 full length with a 100 gn insert and a 210 gn Silver Flame.

I did it this morning and the weight of the arrow is 710 gn.
The speed was 178 fps :bigsmyl:

Hi this is a 8 strands SBD string.
I have Pierres strings on all my bows and is highly satisfied.

WOW that was a looker :)
Is it rattler on the limbs?

Check out SBD strings if you want something fast to go with your longbow.

Thanks Mike :)

I also mounted them on a DAS Elite riser, but felt more comfortable with a more massive riser to such a heavy setup.
