Does anyone here use ILF rigs for hunting or do you like them more as a target/range bow setup?  What has me interested in trying one is the speed and ease of assembly and how small you can pack them down for travel.  I'm intrigued by the flexibility in limbs for target weight limbs plus a hunting weight set that can grow with you as you strengthen and then back down when age catches up with you again.

If you are using them for hunting and like the system in that use what are some companies that offer more traditional wood risers in an ILF configurations?  I really wouldn't want to hold onto a metal heat sink all winter long.

I love my TT Titan riser with UUkha limbs for a target and hunting. It is plenty quiet enough to hunt. If wood is your thing, Morrison, Dryad, Sky, and TT make offerings that will get the job done.

The bear in my Avatar was taken with an ILF set up. Zipper riser and Dryad Static limbs at 45 pounds. ILF bows make great hunting bows and your options are endless.

I found if I added foam between the limb and riser it really quieted the ilf bow down. Add thin Velcro under the string at the limb tips and it's as quiet as my longbow.

You really can't beat the price of a TT trident wood riser for 279.99 with a set of glass wood limbs for 159.99 you have a great ILF set up for under 500.00 and is very quiet for hunting

Love the ILF system but I shoot both ilf and regular takedowns. I appreciate the extra mass from a metal riser also. With a wood grip and some adhesive felt on the back of the grip area on riser I don't hold metal.

Have both but will be trying an ILF set up for hunting this fall, flipper rest with no plunger.

I use ILF all the time, hunting no problem. I have Sky, Das, and TT titan risers, the limb versatility alone makes them a great choice.  I live in Central NY area snow 120 to 160" and use metal risers all the time the grip is what makes it possible, they can be nice insulators.

Absolutely.  Morrison Phoenix XD 17" w/ Border Hex 6.5 mediums, shot off the shelf w/ sealskin and a shorty plunger.

Morrison 17 inch Phoenix with Bobs Max limbs for a 58 inch bow. I shoot 3D, club shoots and hunt with it in some very cold Midwest temps with no issues.

The great thing about an ILF setup is there are limitless tuning and limb options that will satisfy a shooters needs.

Dryad and Morrison make really nice risers and the ones that have TT on them are pretty good too, there's others but these are ones I've owned. In my mind from the way you framed your question, you are likening ILF to being a type of bow, but it's not, it's simply a type of limb attachment that lends itself to being tunable. About the only kind of bows that I can think of that aren't available in ILF are bow styles that only come in 1 or 2 piece varieties like hill style for instance.

I just set up a Das riser with ILF limbs for hunting. Took it to a 3/D today and shot my best score ever and had no misses. They work for everything.

Nope.

My preferred hog bow. Morrison metal 13" gen3 riser, Dryad limbs, and red Sniper Hog light for after dark hunting (where it is legal...SC & GA).

I metal risers from Sky and CD archery that are very nice to shoot.

I have a carbon riser from TT that doesn't get cold in the winter and absorbs a lot of vibration so it's really quiet.

My current favorite ILF limbs are my Centaur longbow limbs

For wood risers the best looking, in my opinion, are the Morrison risers.

I.m another TT Titan user for hunting.  I shoot it more accurately than any bow I have ever used.  My Jager grip works great and I see no disadvancae to holding it in the winter.

titan 3 for me, about all I shoot anymore

Wood morrison 19" with 50# Hoyt Quattro limbs, all Ive shot for 3 seasons and love it. Taken Mule deer, Blacktails, bears antelpoe and bears. They make great hunting rigs. Easy to get length and poundage you want.

Yep. ILF is just a limb attachment system. Plenty of suitable offerings available.

I currently have a Hoyt 21" Excel Riser with a variety of limbs from LAS. Love the bow.I also have a have a Hoyt Dorado 19 riser with ILF limbs altered to fit the riser. It's not a big deal to do. That riser can also be altered to accept ILF limbs as they are. This conversion is done by people on the trad websites. Just do a search.
