This system has been common on Olympic-style recurves since the mid-1980s when Hoyt introduced its patented Dovetail System, which was eventually co-opted internationally as the current ILF system. Any ILF limb - from any manufacturer - can be installed easily without tools on any ILF-equipped riser. ![]() Why choose one of these metal-riser traditional bows? The advantages are many:Īnother interesting advantage of these high-tech wonders is the growing adoption of "open platforms," with risers incorporating a standardized limb attachment system - International Limb Fixtures, or put simply, ILF. Today's high-tech hunting platforms and "crossover bowhunters" are a perfect match. The truly good news is that with today's high-tech traditional bows, newcomers and experienced bowhunters looking to take on the added challenge, thrill, and just plain fun of shooting traditional tackle do not have to give up the performance and adjustability to which they've grown accustomed. ![]() That's one of the reasons we've enjoyed higher success rates, but compound bows have also conditioned us to tweak, tune, and adjust everything on our bows.
