Do these bows have ILF limbs? The ones a couple of years old have them also?

What do you guys think?

By definition the Dorado does not use ILF limbs. ILF refers to the bushing/connection system. The Dorado uses and different bushing and bolts down solidly to the riser; it offers no adjustment.

Other manufacturers limbs will fit the Dorado by simply changing out the ILF bushing for the Hoyt GameMaster/Dorado bushing. In some cases you may need to grind some stock from the limb butts too.

I believe Jim Casto Jr is right on. There are bushing kits out there to adapt them. You may check with someone like 3Rivers or Lancaster Archery. I checked into it one time and I think one of them had what you will need.

If you have a reamer, you can get some sintered bronze sleeve bearing from amazon and ream the inner diameter to be slightly larger than 1/4" to fit the Dorado pin. I believe 3/8" OD, 1/4" ID sleeve bearing would replace most ILF detent bushing.

BTW, I heard Gamemaster limb also work for Dorado. If that so, then those conversion kit from 3R or Lancaster for Gamemaster may work.
