Just curious Shane, now that you have some experience shooting longbows, what is your impression shooting recurves (for comparison)? I started with recurves in the '70s and switched to longbows in the '80's. Though I shoot more consistently with recurves, I still prefer shooting longbows and spend far more time with them.

The whole ILF system is intriguing - opens up all kinds of options for limbs from many manufacturers. A couple years ago, Samick was closing out their Black Max Carbon Extreme ILF limbs for 1/2 price so I bought a set on a whim without doing any research. That started the search for an ILF riser - I wanted wood which was difficult to find at the time and I eventually ended up with a Dryad riser. It's a great shooting combo but the limbs draw around 5 lbs heavier than marked and I'm considering a set of lighter weight limbs from Dryad.
