Uukha ILF limbs heavier draw weights

[ozyclint]

Been looking at Uukha limbs.
Doesn't look like they cater for hunters much. I can't seem to find anything above 45-50#.
Am I missing something?

Ive seen examples of every animal in North America (with maybe the exception of Polar and Brown Bears) killed with 45-50 pound bows. What are you targeting that needs more that 50 pounds?

 

[ozyclint]

Not sure. I like to keep my options open.
Water buffalo, camels, scrub bulls, pigs.

Any other limbs to consider?

Just bought a Satori 19" riser. It serves double use as my sons bow and a back up for me.

The most confusing thing is there doesn't seem to be any standard for draw weight with ILF regarding changing between riser lengths.
One brand rates their limbs on a 21" riser and the next brand rates theirs on a 17" riser leading to having to try to find out what draw weight a particular limb will be on any given riser.

I currently shoot a Border Black Douglas with hex 6 BB² limbs.
I'm a fan of the supercurves.

My uukhas drew at about 52 on a 19” satori riser.

Getting the right limb weight rating can be confusing. 3 Rivers sells them in ratings that are easy to digest though. 50# is plenty for a recurve I’d say. https://www.3riversarchery.com/uukh...MIvffCjaP3iwMVOyNECB3NzQnIEAQYAiABEgLhGfD_BwE

I have seen that 3Rivers only has the Gobi up to 35#.
I'd like to match my border which is 58#@28". Be great to use the arrows interchangeably.

Yeah, water buffalo may be a stretch for 50#. But I've seen in person that 50# is plenty for critters up to Moose size.

I think this is only an inventory issue. I shoot Uukas that are 50# so I know they make them.

If you put them on a shorter riser you may make high 50s with bolts full in. My 50# limbs pull 52 on a 19" satori. Go to a 15" riser and they'd be in the high 50s.

What length limb on a 19" Satori, 28" draw?

My Border is 60"

 

[nevadabugle]

What length limb on a 19" Satori, 28" draw?

Medium, 28.5 draw. Bolts full out.

 

[ozyclint]

Sorry, I meant do you recommend the medium then for that draw?

Medium.

Go to uukhas website and go to choose and configure and play around. FYI, it’s always going to give you a longer limb/ bow length recommendation than you may want. They’re wanting to look out for their limb life I’m sure. Meaning, I’m sure if you plug in 19” riser, 57+ @ 28” they’ll recommend longs(62” bow). Doesn’t mean you have to, and mediums will hit the weight you want also.
