ilf differences

[giff]

i was at the bow shop last night comparing a pair of hoyt ilf limbs and a pair of dryad ilf limbs and realized that the distance between the bolt slot and the button(not sure of technical terms)was different. I thought that ilf was supposed to be a standardized set of measurements and they were all interchangeable, but they aren't. anyone know why?

My understanding is (and I'm not positive about this), that even though Hoyt uses a system similar to the ILF, it really isn't ILF, and is proprietary to Hoyt bows only.

Rick's right....Hoyt went solo and "stretched" the slot to button distance on the ILF limb a couple years ago.  They say it enhanced something, I say it made their system proprietary and they did it purely for marketing.  It worked for me....I'll buy anything that Hoyt doesn't make now.

Hoyt has been that way since (from my recolectence)they went heavily to compounds.
 I'm with Rob now. Have to say though, they do make SOME target risers that are ILF.

If you compared ILF to ILF there's very little differences on tolerances, and they will interchange from riser to riser.  If you noticed a big difference, my guess is you were looking at a pair of Hoyt's Paralever limbs (not ILF).

ok that makes sense. thanks guys

The stretched limbs are Hoyt's Formula system,they fit thier Formula riser's and thier Hoyt Buffalo bow.Though they are similar to ILF the stretched the pivot point.
