some time ago I got a Bear mini-mag 17" riser with the square bracket for limbs to slide into. LOOKED it all over and it was spotless, too nice for me, so I sold it. I liked the idea of fitting ILF limbs to it. GOT another riser....from Bowbaker ON HERE...decided not to fit ILF limbs to it. I was visiting with Dave Lint, and I sent him my riser.....he makes limbs and longbows. In visiting DAVE said he could make a form a little different than his normal LONGBOW limbs model & get them to work in this riser. SO he bought the materials and made my limbs, bamboo cores & black glass, and bacote wedges & butts & phenolic tips. Got it back today, put it together, 8 inch brace initially, quick, wanted to shoot it. Stuck my SRF sight in sight window, set it with a long arrow I use....... Stuck down a crude shelf pad, stuck in an old berger plunger......set centershot kind of quick and dirty..... SHOT IT A FEW GROUPS at 20 yards.......quiet & pretty quick.....shot where I was looking I THINK haha. I had an eye visit today with the Dr. and got my eyes dilated, so I was not my normal self - - so will shoot more tomorrow. Bow looks good, shoots good, quiet, fits me well.....NICE LITTLE metal riser LONGBOW. I know they are not for everyone, but.....I like it. Thanks JESS STUART for the riser and DAVE LINT for all your help with this!!!

upside down pictures is caused by auto-rotate and software differences 'tween old and new programs and cameras and phones and EXIF data orientation tags and I ain't fixing it TONIGHT. Thanks guys for bearing with me.......

see this thread where Don T. Lewis shows how-to. He simply thinned the ILF limb butts to fit riser / belt sander. NICE. https://leatherwall.bowsite.com/TF/lw/thread2.cfm? forum=23&threadid=331062&messages=99&CATEGORY=9
