ILF experience

just got a titan a few weeks ago. fit some hoyt G3 limbs to it, my groups also reduced from my longbows. both are great and both are fun, just different.
by the way, what kind of rest does everyone use? off the shelf or with an elevated rest?

sunshine...

I use a bear weather rest. Simple, cheap and bomb proof.

ILF are all I shoot now, well at least until I start building bows again. As far as the rest, I shoot a NAP 750 rest because I can shoot vanes of them if I need to.

How's the Belcher riser? Any info you could give me?

Gehrke145 · September 02, 2009, 06:43:00 PM

I love it, its got alot less parts then the Titan. Since I got it it is my go to bow. I have short limbs (cheap KAPs)on it making a 56 inch bow and 50lbs and it has no stack at my 28 inch draw. The few guys that have shot it were inpressed how quite it was.

Curious what you mean by that. Other than the riser itself, my titan has a grip, limb bolts, ILF bushings and a rest.

I have shot ILF bows hunting turkey since the early 80's. when trad started coming back after the compound crash I started to see them used in indoor leagues. I knew of a few closet ILF hunters but not many. The past five or six yrs the number has grown steadily. There have been a numbers of riser produced in hunting lengths.

I think bow hunters either like them or can't figure out why anyone would shoot them. If ya ask yourself that question jut go look at the IBO scores, longbow, recurve hunter and recuve unaided. Now tell which one ya think has the best chance of busting the wingnut on a trurkey??

If I was a turkey I hate to have Jim Powell shooting at me.
