I am not over stressing the limbs this way. On a short limb I will have the limb bolts backed out about 3 turns so that it is not developing stack untill just after 27". It will start stacking at just past 27"". The adjust ments are not there to achieve the maximum weight possible at all draw lengths.They are there for tiller adjustment and a smooth stack free, efficient limb setting.įor my 27" draw on the Titan I will normaly have a medium length limb on the 17" riser set at or near the maximum draw weight depending on the limb. Those of us with short draw lengths have less concern than the guy with a 30 or 31" draw. To achieve a proper set up bow that is not going to have a short life we need to make pre load adjustments for our draw length, and keep out of the stack. Trad Tech has a guide that defines the limb length for its'risers based on draw length.
Ilf limbs are available in extra short, short, medium and longs.ĭAS has a guide that keeps us within 12 pounds maximum of the stated 25" riser weight on it's bows.

With other makes the draw length and bow length plus stacking need to be adhered to. The Border HEX V ILF is the exception to this.It was designed for a DAS 17" riser.However it is imperitive that you follow the Border draw length/bow length giudelines for all Border ILF limbs. When we see a 3# increase the ILF limb is starting into it's stack and 4# is definately entering the danger zone. These limbs draw very smooth and normaly gain close to 2# per inch if the right length is selected for our draw length. We have become used to a bow stacking at a higher pound per inch than where an ILF limb is stacking, so often it is not recognised without a scale. My understanding on ILF limbs and efficiency is that these limbs are designed so that they perform at their best/optimal efficiency just before they start to stack.

The second is by turning in the limb bolt like a compound bow and paying no attention to our draw length.įrom my research on how to set up an ILF bow I have come to see that quite often we have bows that are set for far more pre stress than they should have. We enter the danger zone in 2 ways, the first is by choosing a limb that is too short for our draw length. This system has been developed for Olympic/FITA bows that have longer 23 to 25"+ risers.Recently there is a trend to use it on short risers, ranging from the 20", down to the 14" riser.When we take a limb that was designed for long risers and place it on a short riser the weight increases.The ILF system also allows us to adjust the draw weight even more, and this is where we can get into trouble by over stressing the limbs on short risers.
With the popularity of the ILF limbs today on short risers I think there is some misunderstanding on just how to set up the short riser with the ILF limb. My Thoughts on ILF limbs and Short Riser setups.
