Why such interest in 'ILF' limbs???

[Bob Morrison]

We have several custom bowyer right here in the good old USA making very custom ILF risers and limbs, even some low priced limbs...US Quality is as good and better in fit and finish than any oversea limbs I have seen, Preformance is NO better. There is 1-2 fps difference in the best out there. From all I have seen US limbs are quieter with less vibration and are getting as stable as anything available from other countries. Personally I'm going to keep as many of my dollars as I can right here. It's getting harder to do that, Camo, boots, arrows and the list goes on. I will spend more to keep it here.

Bob,
Have one of your TD longbows & one of your ILF TD with your C/F Longbow limbs. The regular bow is 5lbs heavier with boo limbs but that ILF shoots 5fps faster. Great bows.... both of them.

Lots of good info on here for sure.  When it comes to the "traditional" aspect of this, I don't see much difference between ILF and normal t/d.  Never understood how a bolt and a pin is "traditional" but a bolt and a pin with spring in it isn't.  

What I like about LF is that if you want the built by hand "custom" touch, its available, if you want total function, it's available. If you want to mix the two, it's available.  If you want Morrison beauty with TradTech functionality and value, no problem.  How about a metal riser with Dryad static limbs?  That little pin with the spring in it makes all these combinations possible.  What if you want (need) a new set of limbs but don't want to (can't) wait six months to get them?  

How about little things like switching from split finger to 3 under and your favorite custom is tillered for split?  With ILF, no problem...just adjust the tiller.  How about those carbons that you just can't seem to get to fly perfectly out of your setup?  One size is too stiff and one size is too weak.  Why not just adjust your poundage by a couple pounds and dial them in?  

I would agree that the there is some really nice ILF stuff being made here by the custom bowyers and I'm betting that it will only get bigger and more popular.  The only difference I see is the ability to shoot lighter arrows if you choose to.  Companies like Hoyt, TradTech, Winn Winn, and others are quite comfortable with arrow weights in the 6-8 gpp range but I don't think bowyers like some mentioned here would be too comfortable with that, either with their limbs or risers.  To some people, especially those that are into 3d and target shooting as well as hunting, that is a drawback.

Although it wasn't really new, DAS re-introduced an old concept to the hunting market with a few new twists.  Since then, others have stepped it up in terms of convenience, performance, custom options and availability.  I can't wait to see what comes next.

Bob,

I fully concur with your belief.  Too many jobs have been outsourced oversea.  Need to support USA made products as much as possible.

Secondly, I am just amazed w/ my Morrison ILF setup.  It's the mini 14 w/ two sets of c/f limbs. One is a set of 40# D limbs, and the other a 50# skinned B limbs.  Both very smooth and smoking fast.

Lastly, I had emailed Bob with a general question, and was surprised he personally called me an hour later with an answer.  THAT is what I call customer service.  Thank you

As far as the Asian limbs verses American limb performance mentioned by Bill just go to Blacky Schwartz's website. Morrison's single carbon longbow limbs performing right with the top dollar Samick BF extremes recurves. And the Morrison single carbon recurve limbs are at least a click or two faster than the long bow limbs. Speed isn't everything though, but it helps a lot. The Morrison limbs are also very quiet and smooth. Yep we got em right here in the USA.

Wow, that little spring must be dangerous.  It's like an asprin being a gateway drug to meth.

I have a fairly good understanding of the basic ILF concept, however the bottom line for me is how does the bow feel and shoot.  My Morrison is one fine shooter.

I read as much of it as I could but got lost. I guess the ILF system is just too complicated for me.

I get lost easily but that's ok all I really need is a stick with a string that'll fling an arrow.

God bless,Mudd

Not that complicated Mudd. Pretty much like the normal takedown, only with a different bolt attachment and a lot of adjustability.

I personally am a believer of "The less moving parts, the better." My Hoyt Dorado is as crazy as I get.

                             Good Shooting,
