    At one point I was definitely torn between a more primitive wood bow and the aluminum ILF bows. That’s pretty much been settled for me now that I’ve seen the benefits of the ILF. I think you’re right though, learning my gaps will probably pay big dividends with whatever aiming system I choose...

    Yeah and I’m totally fine with having something cheaper at first that gets me what I need without crazy performance. This are great suggestions thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That’s what makes me lean towards the fixed crawl. I love the idea of repeating the same crawl every time and only needing to change point of aim slightly at short distances. Low light situations make we weary of string walking, and having huge gaps with gap shooting also scares me. Sent from...

    Do you have any recommendations for cheap starter limbs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m starting to put some of these pieces together based off of what I’m seeing here and researching elsewhere. Definitely planning on 3 under with a fixed crawl since I want to hunt with it eventually. Also looking at a 21” riser (galaxy) with Olympic limbs that will give me a 66” bow. I need to...

    I’m leaning towards a tab as of right now. Not completely sure on the hump and elevated rest yet, and I’m leaning towards feathers so I can shoot off the shelf Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Awesome. Can’t thank you enough for the help. That clarifies a lot and allows me to wade through all the options with a little more confidence. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Man I had to read that several times haha. You explained it well, I’m just wrapping my head around these concepts. So knowing this, manufacturers are marking their limbs for a specific length of riser in order to have consistency in the draw weight and total length for those limbs on that length...

    Ok yeah that makes more sense. I agree though, at that weight I can probably still practice comfortably and if I was ready then take those limbs hunting too, or increase weight later on. One thing that’s confusing me though is how the weight increases in relation to limb and riser length. I’m...

    Not a bad thought. My concern would be that with 45lb limbs I’d be pulling quite a bit more than that with a 32” draw. At this point though I’m definitely looking at some ILF risers so I can start with lighter limbs and buy some heavier ones later on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the tip about John’s Custom. I’ve been using Sirius arrows and have really liked them. I’m looking at the traditional style they have that are the same diameter as my Vulcans. Then if I wanted to use the components I already have to add weight I could. Looking for something in that...

    Got it. I’m used to having pretty heavy GPI arrows with my compound; they’re dang near 750 grains. Didn’t intend for them to be that heavy, but that’s where they ended up. Love them though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Appreciate your input. I’m on the lookout now for something with that longer riser and a 64” total length. The nice thing is if I go heavier I’m also willing to shoot less total arrows per session if I start feeling any fatigue. I shoot my compound that way now, so nothing new. For arrows, are...

    That’s encouraging, thank you. I may end up finding a good middle ground weight that isn’t too much to start with, but can still be used for hunting. I’d like to piece the bow together with a longer riser and limbs like you’re saying if I can afford it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That’s helpful thank you. As I’m looking around it doesn’t seem too hard to find put together ILF bows that are 64” which is sounding like what I’ll need. Price is a factor too, so looking for something in the cheaper end to start with, and I feel like having a ILF bow would give me more...

    Yeah ideally if I could just buy one set of limbs to practice and then hunt with I would prefer that. It would make arrow building more simple. I just wasn’t sure how necessary it would be to start with super light limbs for a guy my size. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Noob Questions

    Taking the plunge into shooting a recurve after several years with a compound. I’m 6’5 with a 32” compound draw, have been shooting 75lbs and want to make sure I get something that fits me decently. Would a 64” bow be what I need? Also, if I’m getting an ILF setup, is it necessary to start...
