Customer Reviews
You can’t beat the price. This is my first ILF riser and it has exceeded my expectations. It tuned easy and shot very accurately. I’ve shot friends higher end barebows before and this compares well. I love it.
Very good value for money. I like the grip, all my ILF limbs fit well. Could not ask more from a low priced riser. The added weights add versatility to this set up. Recomended.
Good riser. Recommend it.
This is my second ILF riser and find it to be an amazing value especially for a barebow riser.
I like having my weights more forward so I originally transferred my 200g / 225g weights onto the stabs but with the added weight of the riser compared to the old one, I found my shoulder getting tired after a long day.
I was pleasantly surprised that the male half of the stock weights that came with the riser also thread into the stab positions and weigh exactly 100g each. So that is what I am running for now till I can go back up.
The stock wooden grip, while it does look great, is actually pretty horrible. It does not have as well defined ridges and just not as comfortable as SF/WNS grips I am used to. It's also extremely slippery. I am sure a wrap will fix the slipperiness but I have elected to get one from RCore at almost half the cost of the riser instead. My research seems to suggest they are the only one who makes one for this riser.
I am a proud owner of this riser and as a beginning archer I never regretted waiting for it.
Bow sizing based on archer's height for Olympic Recurve
Olympic Recurve bows typically range in overall size from 66" to 70". Below is a rough guideline for new archers getting started in the sport.
- 5'5" or shorter = 66" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 68" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 70" bow
The Height of a modern Olympic Recurve bow is dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. Combining long limbs with two different size risers will result in two different size bows. The typical Olympic riser size is either 23, 25" and 27".
Bow sizing based on archer's Draw Length for Traditional Takedown
Please note, traditional recurve draw length is typically shorter than compound. If transitioning always scale down at least half an inch for draw length.
For Adults
- 5'5" or shorter = 60" - 62" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 62" - 66" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 66" - 68" plus, bow
These are rough guidelines for new archers so they get the most out of their new traditional equipment. For some takedown bows limb length is not a choice. After some experience you may find you like longer or shorter limbs.
The Height of traditional takedown bows will often be dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. A 58" bow for example can be made up of any combination of limb and riser size that creates an overall length of 58".
Traditional Takedown bows can come in sizes anywhere from 52" all the way up to 70". Bows that are longer in length are typically used in tournament situations while bows shorter in total length are used for hunting.
Age and Experience guideline
- 14 years old or younger = poundage should be the as their age. Example 12 years old should be shooting 12# bow.
- 18 to 14 years old = 16# to 20# depending on body build and height
- Adult: Beginner = under 20#, Intermediate 22# to 28#, Advanced with experience = 30# and up.
