ILF info please

[devolve]

Looking at buying a new bow strictly for hunting. Wanting something I can go back and forth on light limbs and heavier limbs. I have a shoulder injury that comes and goes. I have been eyeing the Hoyt dorado maybe. I want something I don’t mind throwing around and getting scratched up.

Thanks

The Dorado is a great bow, but it isn’t an ILF bow. I’m not sure about the Hoyt Buffalo, but I know that the Satori is ILF.
My Dorado is 55# @ 28” and I don’t have lighter limbs for it, but you are welcome to try it out if you are able to do so.

Those are nice bows

Look at Lancaster archery they have a bunch of ILF risers and then figure out what limbs you want

There’s a Hoyt Buffalo on eBay right now.

I think Ilf's live in trees and make cookies......

Thanks for the info guys. I’ll do a bit more lookin tonight.

Todd, I believe I have some of those on the counter in my kitchen.

I prefer the Dalaa it is a more secure connection and I believe it's quieter. You use a ILF limb you just change out the fitting and it's easy

 

[hambone76]

Dennis, if you do an ILF conversion on a Dorado, do you have any way to adjust tiller, like on the Satori?

 

[Dennis]

You should be able to. Go over to trad talk they are a world of knowledge on those bows and they can tell you how to covert and everything

 

[devolve]

I have looked through all the Lancaster risers..........sooooo many don’t know where to go.

RMSG has:
1- used buffalo #50 for $550
2- used satori 19” riser only for $35”

I have a TradTech Titan from Lancaster archery that is a sweet riser. Currently I’m running the New DAS bamboo core Longbow limbs from 3rivers archery but also use TradTech carbon wood recurve limbs when I’m feeling froggy, the simplicity of swapping limbs are easy and hassle free.

I heard rumors a Bear White Tail II Warfed riser will be in the TBG Banquet raffle!

Dennis, if you do an ILF conversion on a Dorado, do you have any way to adjust tiller, like on the Satori?

Yes: adjust the tiller bolts. I believe The Dorado riser is really just an Excel Riser with formula spacing.

Buy a trade tech and you happy with what you are looking for I am a Hoyt shooter and I tell you Hoyt isn't what you are looking for trad tech is what you looking for

Thanks for the info. What are the differences?

 

[Dennis]

Trad Tech is a ILF connection the Hoyt has a proprietary connection for Hoyt limbs only. Both are good but you have a bigger choice of limbs with ILF fittings. Then there is a Dalaa riser that takes there proprietary fittings but those are easy to change to ILF or back.

 

[Dennis]

First you need to figure out which riser you like then buy limbs to fit and you will be happy with any of them

 

[devolve]

Thinking about a satori riser. I like the radius shelf over the flat shelf on the Trad tech.

Thoughts on this?
