Old school camo/black limbs, bronze riser

It fell off my bow hook and landed right on the tip, the tip piece popped off, I called Jim and he said to just use superglue, so I did. It has shot just fine since then, but I didn't clean up the excess glue, so it's not the most beautiful. Other than that, in great condition.

Great northern quiver included.

$650 600 shipped

Two questions...is that riser painted or anodized? And are those limbs 55 at 26" or 28"?
Riser is anodized. Last time I pulled it on a scale, I am pretty sure it was 55@28". The limb bolts definitely have some adjustment, so you could probably get them to 55@26"

Those risers are ceracoated, when bivouac sold them there were 3 colors to choose from, green, the one in the pictures and I think grey. I’m looking at a green one hanging on my wall right now.

This one is 55lbs @ 28”, the limbs are 26”

These are excellent bows, if you’re at all interested in it, I say buy it. I won’t be getting rid of mine any time soon.

For some reason I was thinking anodized, but I just looked up my emails with them from ordering and it is in fact cerakote.

It looks like there were actually 4 colors. I wonder why they stopped making these, mine has been excellent.

Hey it’s Georgia from Bivouac! We honestly stopped offering them because of machining. We had to work with the larger machine shops to keep the cost down. But since our purchase orders weren’t the big money maker for the CNC shop we kept getting pushed further down along the production line. It just became a giant hassle for us for a while, and honestly the only response we could ever get from the CNC shop was “cause of covid”…

We do keep getting a pile of inquiries every week so we may take a pre order for some Backlands in the near future.

They really are great bows, I’d never get rid of mine. Everybody who tries it loves it. I hope you’re able to bring them back eventually. I wanted one from the second I first saw them.

Glad to hear!

and to anyone who picks this Bow up, you can always send it in and we can take some weight off.

I just checked it, its currently 53@28", with the limb bolts backed out 4 full turns. I don't have a ton of experience with ILF so that's as far as I've backed them out.
