A question for IFL bow owners: I am considering buying my first IFL bow, but, after doing numerous searchs on this site, I am still vague on how you "adjust" the weight? and how do you know the amount of "turns" in the limb bolts?.I would like someone to recommend a beginners article on IFL tuning or simply point me to an appropriate web source. Thank you

X2 on Morrison Archery.  I just purchased my first ILF this week from Bob and if there is anything you need to know then he can answer.  Also, he is one heck of a good guy to talk to and do business with.

If you call Landcaster Archery the staff will answer any questions you have. I bought a Titan and they set it up before mailing it out and answered all questions. Tried a Hoyt Buffolo but wanted to be able to use any limbs out there.With a Titan you can use any limbs and use a wide assortment of grips.  Thanks, Roy
Maybe it is time to shoot what I have on the rack

The limb adjustments are mainly for tuning your bow/arrow set-up, not necessarily "weight" adjustments. You have a plethora of options with ILF. Good luck.  :archer2:
Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm
not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant!

The number of turns out depends on each manufacurer of the riser so you need to contact them to see what the max turns out is. My Titan III came with a manual and said it is 3 and I have a Morrison wooe/phenolic which I start at 3 max turns out for safety. Of course full in is max weight on the limbs. Then you have to contact the limb manufacturer to see how they rate their limbs at min/max turns out. Most people screw them out to max out, 1/2 max out and max in and don't fret over weight in #s.

Talk to Mr. Morrison and if you can afford them get MAX I limbs.

Ditto on the MAX1 limbs.  That is what I got this week with the new Phoenix riser

Thanks for all the advise. I appreciate each of you responding.

Duncan: Just so you know. ILF is really nothing more than a way to mount limbs to a riser. The best thing about them is that you can get any quality limb you want and they are interchangeable. A bit of basic bow geometry and tillering are all  you need to know to get started. Having said that, the other features that are compelling to me are the infinite adjustments and tuning variables you have control over and in particular, the variety of really excellent limbs available. If you decide to go the ILF route I would also suggest that you learn to  make  your own bowstrings....just sayin'.
