I have been looking at several of the ILF bows but i am totally in the dark here. one stated it was rated 49@28 but was set at 44@28. can these bows be adjustable? and if so how?

The limbs have a bolt that you can adjust tiller just like a compound. It also allows a small poundage adjustment. Most are about 5#'s. So a set of limbs marked 40#'s ,when tightened all the way down may go to 44-45#'s. Hope this helps!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Like stated above, adj. tiller/#  to some degree. They are veritable easily tuned, with a plunger button & flipper type rest, can shoot a large variety of shaft spine/# in one bow, with minimal tuning. You should have a bow shooting great in 15-20 minutes, at least that has been my experience. Pm me if I can be more help.

who makes some of the best ILF Bows

Well Larry, if ask 10 different guys you most likely get at least 8 different answers to that question. I have a Zipper riser with Dryad limbs that I am very happy with. I also have a Morrison Alum riser with Longbow limbs, and a 23" Hoyt Excell with Trad T. limbs that I'm playing with also. All 3 of those are good bows with the Zipper being my favorite! I will bet you will get other opinions.....lol!

LarryP,

Where are you in Texas?  We are in Weatherford 30 miles west of Ft. Worth.  If your close come on over and I'll introduce you to ILF.

My friend had an old metal riser Hoyt take down and he retrofitted Hoyt 900CX target carbon ILF limbs on it and it was one of the most amazing shooters I've ever shot.

Larry, to answer you question, ILF limb manufacturers rate their limbs differently for different length risers, ie: some are rated for a 23" riser, some 19" risers and some 17" risers. Also some are rated with the limbs bolts all the way out and some are mid range. All limb bolts do not have the same adjustment range either, just depends. It isn't an exact science to predict poundage but they are adjustable within a small range. It's easier to predict if you use the same manufacturer's riser and limbs though.
