Like to start this thread giving credit where credit is due. Bobmeister for getting me started on ILF risers and where I could get some hardware. Brandon Stahl for his help in laying one out. Kirk Lavender of Bigfoot for the cores that are in it and his more than generous hand on some finer points of this riser.
The riser is 19"X19* with ILF longs for a 64" bow. Its 41#@28". Drawing the bow to 30" is only a 4# gain at 45. Limbs are Yew cored with clear glass facing, carbon weave and carbon uni backing. I clocked the bow last Sunday in what I'll call 3D mode LOL. Shooting it at 39#@28" with 285gr Gold Tip 600's for 198fps
Throwing in a shot of her before it was finished give you fellas a look at her limbs at full draw and some finished pictures

Well that's the beauty of the times now megerard. Back in the late 80's when I started all I had was Dad. No one shared much either. Things have changed so much since then and I'm very grateful for those who have helped me. When I got on Brandon's site Kirk and I went round and round on a lot of things. But when the SHTF on some my projects. He was always there with new insights for me.
OK Batman here is a few pictures for you with out all the dressings! LOL. One shot is of the business side of the bow.

OB, I hear ya about Kirk. He can rub you the wrong way, but it usually a misunderstanding. I had him build me a bow after arguing with him for a long time, and he did me right! What is the ridge on the lower part of the riser? Anything other than aesthetics? looks cool as hell!

LMAO, yeah rubbing you the wrong way can be an understatement with Kirk. Posted the other day that if he had lived closer I'd throttled him. But he made me step up my game and prove my points. We still take jabs at each other but I understand him a lot more now. The man has done his home work and then some and he has earned the right to be an A.H.! LMAO
No mgerard its not meant to be aesthetics. These ILF risers are thinner than my old bows. The sight window on this one is a little longer but that point adds depth to help IMHO stiffen the sight window. Same with that ridge on the lower part of the riser. It makes that area thicker to compensate for the dish on the other side.
Glad you like the bow OB
