Default ILF Question

OK, I just picked up a used Hoyt TD4 riser and a pair of Samick limbs. The limbs snap easily into the limb sockets, but rattle around a bit. Should they be tightened before stringing and ,if so, how? Any advice regarding sitting up is welcome.

Default RE: ILF Question

If the rattle is side to side, then you need to do something to snug them up a little. Maybe a little waxed paper or something on each side of the limb butts. If you can't get something that thin in there, then it's not enough lateral play to worry about. Forward and back, I don't think it's a problem.

The best use of the adjustment bolts on ILF bows is not to adjust draw weight.You are only going to get about 5% up and 5% down anyway.The adjustment bolts are to set the preload of the limbs by adjusting the limb pocket angle.Adjusting the preload allows for the best performance at a certain draw length.

Even with the adjustments you still have to consider your draw length when selecting limbs.A guy drawing 30" or more still doesn't need to be shooting a 58" bow IMHO.Maby some of the ultra short and deflexed newer risers will allow that but still not the best situation IMHO.

The preload really shines for the 25"-27" draw guys.They can usually get more performance than from bows designed to handle a wider range of draw lengths.

Whatever you choose I suggest Winex limbs for all but the extreme long draw.My research suggests the Samick Masters may be a little better for the longer draw guys.

I don't think you will get the full benefit from these bows unless you go to a stiff metal riser.We are still only talking about small percentages and any cut in stiffness affects thoes very small percentages.

Even with a wood riser you still have the limb availibity options enjoyed by the ILF system so if pretty is tops just get something you like.
