Been looking at ILF bows for the first time. I'm wanting to get my 12yo son something he can start hunting with that allows the flexibility to upgrade limbs as he gets older. Plus the riser can serve as a platform for a backup bow for me.

The Hoyt Satori 17" riser has caught my eye. 17" just to keep a compact bow for my lad.
3Rivers has the Satori riser and 35# short Uukha Gobi limbs for a decent price.

My question is what draw weight will these limbs be on the 17" Satori?
How does ILF rate their limbs and how does the draw weight change with riser length?

He currently shoots a cheap recurve. 30#@28" 64". He doesn't draw 28" of course but it gives me a comparison point. No trouble drawing this bow at all.

What draw weight is your 12-15yo shooting?

I believe the Gobis are marked for weight on either a 17 or 19" riser so they should be close. Call 3 Rivers to verify.

My 13yo, who is pretty small for his age shoots 25 pounds easily.
