I am seriously thinking about trying them out. Right now looking into the Tradtech Titan and the Hoyt risers. Probably Tradtech Carbon Max recurve limbs and Dryad Epic longbow limbs.
I shot them for a while Jose... I shot a converted compound riser first... and old Proline riser that had been machined to allow the ILF limbs...
I then went crazy and had to have the latest and greatest and bought the Dalaa on it's second run of risers that 3 Rivers got... shot it for a couple of years and hunted with it too... just lost interest in them last summer...
One thing they did help with was I had tendonitus in my elbow from something... I really tweeked it playing golf and it would flare up when shooting most wood bows... with the extra weight in the riser of the ILF's I got over it and can now shoot most wood bows with no more hurt...
They, the ILF do allow for almost infinate adjustability... tiller, weight... etc and they are stable... I just got to missing the simplicity again...

PS If you want to shoot one... I've still got the Dalaa hanging on a peg... come over and see me one day or we might could meet somewhere and let you fling a few... Just let me know... I'll not be able to make the September shoot again... only made two this year... work and family taking more and more time...
Thanks Jonathan. I may take you up on that offer later on this year.
As it stands now I will not make the last shoot either. I just got back from Maine last weekend and they need me again. The guy that was coming after me could not make it, sooo... I am flying back up there on Tuesday for 2 weeks.
Were you shooting longbow or recurve limbs?
God bless,
José
PS I got rid of my elbow tendinitis with exercises. I still do them every time I go to the "Y".
I always shot the recurve limbs... never messed with the longbow limbs... that's almost heresy isn't it Jose... Bad enough your even looking at a metal riser
In fact my first set of limbs developed an issue in the fadeouts on the bottom limb... there was a big bubble that started to raise up... 3 rivers had me send them back and I had a brand new pair in my hands in 3 days...
I can't believe it myself. Metal riser, tweaking with bolts, etc. I thought trad. archery was supposed to be simple. Heck, that is the reason I like it: simple, weightless bows... Now I am thinking about the 3+ lbs I have to carry around. It may not happen...
God bless,
José
PS It may have to do with that "genuwine" I've been drinking
