Swung by the shop and picked up the Excel riser and TT Extreme BF limbs today. The Morrison is on the way. Got the stuff home and started putting it together. I had to borrow a string off one of my 66" longbows to temporarily string it up, as the new string is also on its way in the mail. This is my first ILF bow. Man, this ILF stuff is cool! It's so easy to snap the limbs in to the riser, no wrenches, or nothing I'm not used to that at all. Total bow length with Excel riser/long limbs: 66". 50# limbs.
First impressions: the Excel riser is great, well made, just like my Dorado. The Extreme BF's appear to be TOP quality. Man they are THIN! The fit/finish is definitely the equal of the Zipper limbs on the Zipper longbow I used to have, maybe even better. Pulled it back...WOW...smooooooth. The long limbs let me draw it clean past my ear if I want. They FEEL fast. Just the draw feels like it's building energy with every inch.
I can't wait to shoot this thing!
