Which Metal ILF Riser to Purchase

Rick Richard · June 27, 2012, 06:56:00 AM

I have an 'itch' that needs scratching which is why the post. I am very much interested in trying an ILF setup, however I want one with a metal riser and not intersested in waiting 2 - 3 months for a build. So, what do you guys recommend and why?

Thanks in advance Trad Gang Gurus!

I have a 15" Morrison metal riser on the way. I purchased 2 sets of used limbs to start out with; Sebastian Flute Glass/Carbon and a set of Winex. Can't wait for the riser to get in and see how it handles.

I am sure Bob could get you a riser much quicker than 2 to 3 months.

Bob's got metal risers in stock, all lengths-- check out the Gen 3. Grips instock, too. Nice selection.

I have a Titan II on the way but can't comment until it gets here and my arm heals.

Morrisons are great!

Hoyt Excel or SF Premium. Both very reasonable and no WAIT!!!. Easy to tune and great little Risers.

Titan III

From my experience with the risers I'd go with a Morrison as my first choice and a Dalaa as my second.

I have a wood Zipper 17" and just got a Alum. Morrison 17".......I wouldn't be afraid to get a wood riser and Dryad has them in stock with no wait....fair price also!

I like my Titan a lot!

I have a 17" Morrison gen 2 alum. I kinda like. Word is the gen 3 is even better, but wouldn't know.
Just wish mine was a 15".

I purchased a DAS Dalla two weeks ago and I have to say I love it. The Dalla shot great right out of the box and, I had it set up and in my hands in three days from three rivers archery.

I went with the Dalla because it can easily be shot off the shelf or from an elevated rest, I opted for the rest.

I have not shot any of the other brand bows mentioned above and I'm sure they are all very good.

I think the rest of my bows will be collecting dust for quite some time now.

By the way what ever you decide to go with get the foam core limbs , you wont be disappointed!

Rick Richard · June 27, 2012, 02:33:00 PM

Thanks for all the replies.

By the way, I visited Bob this past weekend and shot one of the Morrison bows and liked them a bunch. However, Bob is in the middle of tooling up for a Gen 4 riser through a new machining shop and not exactly sure when those risers will be available. His delivery date appears to be longer than I am willing to wait,which is why I am out shopping.

Jason R. Wesbrock · June 27, 2012, 02:42:00 PM

I've owned and shot several different risers. I kept my Titan and sold the rest.

tradlongbow · June 27, 2012, 02:44:00 PM

Try Sky Archery, Jim builds the DAS limbs and risers.

Don H · June 27, 2012, 03:01:00 PM

I've had my Dalaa for 8-9 months. I Love it, very smooth! With my long draw I have no problem with stacking. I think that is the best thing about ilf limbs you can pick what works for you.
I think any one of the top brands will work for you! I can tell what geat service I got from 3 Rivers archery. They let me change from a 21 in riser to the 17 in. and switching grips.
