    Going to start looking this week for a TD and thought, ILF limbs?

    Bob Lee and bear, take your pick, both great bows. I tried to like ILF, just not as aesthetically pleasing to me, even the wood ones

            I use to own a Hoyt Buffalo and had thought about the Hoyt Satori.

              Just know that the Satori doesn't have the same balance as the Buffalo. You may need to add a little weight to the bottom of the riser if it bothers you. Personally, I just bought my eighth Buffalo. I sold all the others and regret it. Something about the grip and balance just works for me.

                Personally, I like all bows... I do believe that starting with ILF is a very good idea. The ILF bows are pretty much unlimited in setting up, limbs (length and weight), grips (low, medium, high), rest (shelf or NAP), stabilizers, etc. The risers hold there value better than any other bow and you can buy the 2.0 limbs used for $100, new for $150.

                I have tried several ILF risers, my favorite is the 21" Hoyt Excel which is no longer made since they started making the Satori.

                What are you going to with the bow, hunt, targets or both? If you are just going to shoot targets you may want to consider the Olympic rigs (25" risers). They are also ILF just longer and smoother, just easy to shoot well. If you are going to hunt go with a 17" or 19" riser.

                Limb length is very important when shooting ILF. The limb length should be determined by your draw length. Ideally you want to use the shortest limbs that your draw length will allow to get all the performance from the limbs. In my limited experience the 2.0 limbs perform as well as many that cost 3x more. Note, the 2.0 limb style draw weight is based on a 17" riser (I'm not certain on the Satori riders).

                    Without more information there isn’t much to tell you other than they all shoot within 10fps of each other and all feel different doing it. You can spend 1500 or 150 and they will all shoot as good as the person pulling the string.

                              You forget, I’ve hunted with you since the 90’s and I’ve seen you shoot[emoji12]

                              Oh, for you young people, that’s the early 1990’s lol
