Having a great time--wishing I'd practiced more (knew I would), but oh well--always next year. Lots of "celebrities". Met Rob K from Lancaster--super nice guy, working his tail off and spending a gob of time with anyone who needs it. I've learned a ton about ILF hunting bows, and picked up a few for my shop. Also learned that carbon limbs don't have to be "stiff" or noisy--really changed my opinion on them. Worth the trip just for what I've learned--good thing too, because my shooting has stunk! Both days I got my act together just in time for the last few targets...

Glad you had a great time.. I missed out on the one local this week end. I wasn't feeling up to it, and the temp being over 100 degrees made me stay home.. I'm not really old, just walking on 61 year old feet.

Is the tradtech ILF bow? Shot one once. He said he could shoot 190fps with 10gpp.

Yep--but there's a few different risers, and gobs of different limbs. I got the cheaper limbs, but they still shoot really well.

Samick is one manufacturer, amongst many. There's one "custom" bowyer claiming to make ILF compatable limbs that, as best I can find out, are really not. Funny thing, this guy claims to have invented ILF and somehow had the idea ripped off...but I've heard equally ridiculous claims from that direction......
