I'm waiting on a Trad Tech Pinnacle II and longbow limbs.They told me the limbs would be in Mar 31 (today) so I'm getting anxious. What are your thoughts on your bow ? Whatever it is.

Dennis, there's only three ways to go in life. Moving backwards, standing still, and moving forwards.Even that icon, Glenn St.Charles, started with selfbows and made his way up to glass composite bows, even dabbling one very brief moment with Compounds. I promise to never , ever go with training wheels. Matter of fact just about 10 minutes ago I was shooting my osage bow here in the shop. It's all good.

Well I can't tell if I'm moving forward or backward sometimes. Maybe I'm standing still and everything else is moving. Anyway like you said, it's all good
I wish I could shoot my bow here in the shop too. These dinga-lings around here consider it a deadly weapon

Tim, in a matter of a few months I have gone through these risers: Dryad Epic 15" (sold) , Hoyt Excel 21" (sold), TT Titan 17" (sold), Sky 15", Morrison 15" and Morrison mini 13". My favorites: Morrison mini 13" metal riser, the Sky and Morrison 15", also metal. I will probably keep the Morrison mini 13" and sell the 15" risers.
As far as limbs go, I am sticking with the Dryad Epic LB limbs because I got a good deal on a pair of them. They are a pleasure to shoot: fast and smooth. It is the reason I also have a set of Dryad epic recurve limbs on order. From what I have read over the last few months both the Pinnacle and any TT limbs: LB or recurve are top notch, best bang for your buck. I have a very short draw of 25". It is the reason I am staying with short risers and medium to long limbs. Once I get the Epic curve limbs and if they satisfy me i will sell all risers, except the mini 13, and all limbs.
It baffles me that a few months ago I was shooting 50-55#. I can hardly pull 45# now: I believe a combination of getting older/cholesterol medicine/working too much and not shooting enough. The ILF system gives me the ease of changing limbs of all makes/length/weight and keep the same riser. The sky is the limit as they say.
Lots of fun isn't it John... about drove me nuts trying to figure those carbons out... and different brands seem to react differently for me...
John, the ILF's are really any different to tune to me... just more stuff to fiddle with... tiller... centershot... plungers if you want to go that far down the road... that was my biggest issue, fiddling... I was constantly fiddling with something... one reason I started shooting wood bows more once again... set it up and shoot it... in fact the Dalaa's only been shot a handful of times in the last two years... but short of being run over by a truck the riser is pretty bomb proof... limbs break... order a new set and have them in a week, not months or even years with some custom bowyers...
At first glance the Pinnacle looks like any other 3 pc take down bow. Sort of like a bow that someone forgot to tighten the bolts down on. Wood riser. I can't do the metal risers.

Wingnut (Dryad bows/limbs) is working on a new riser model. It will be a wood riser from 13 to 19" long. I may look into one of those. The only thing I have against wood risers is their size. That drove me away from recurves and atracted me to the slim, short risers of the Hill style bows. A 13" aluminum Morrison riser is small and light, easy to carry. Yo u can pair it with XXL longbow limbs and get you a 62" longbow or match it with short recurve limbs and have a short 54" bow for use in blinds/heavy cover.
God bless,
José
PS Jonathan when I decide to sell the 15" risers I will let you know.
