Description
Limbs | CORE Prelude - 12-38 lbs - ILF
The CORE Prelude limbs offer a wide range of draw weights and lengths, making them excellent entry-level limbs for most archers.
The limbs are already equipped with the ILF system. "ILF" stands for the International Limb Fitting System - ILF system for short - which identifies them as plug-in limbs and makes them universal. With the ILF system, the limbs are not screwed to the riser, but only inserted into the corresponding holders. The holders are standardised and ensure that the limbs can be used with all ILF riser.
Technical Data:
Bow length (with 25" riser): 66", 68" or 70"
Draw weight: 12-38 lbs
Material: Wood, Fiberglass
Colour: black or white
Scope of delivery:
1 pair of limbs incl. limb sleeves
Note:
The specification of the bow length and draw weight refers to the use of the limbs with a 25 inch long riser. When using a shorter riser, the indicated bow length is reduced accordingly and the draw weight increases by 2 lbs per 2 inch shorter bow length. E.g. using a 23 inch centre section also results in a 2 inch shorter bow length and a 2 lbs increased draw weight.

Notes on draw weight & bow length
Limb labelling
The limbs of a bow are always labelled with an inscription that not only indicates the draw weight of the limbs, but also the length of the riser or the bow length to which the draw weight refers. This labelling can look like this, for example:
25 lbs @ 19 inches or
19H 25 lbs 62 inches or
25 lbs @ 62 inches or also
62 inches / 25 lbs
If no length of the riser is specified, a 25 inch riser is usually the basis for the draw weight specification. In the case of special bows where the limbs are only suitable for the respective riser, the draw weight is of course based on the corresponding riser.
Many limbs are also available in three different lengths - usually called short, medium and long - with which the bow lengths 66, 68 and 70 inches can be achieved despite the same riser.
Converting the draw weight and bow length
Many limbs have universal mounting options that allow them to be used at least on different risers from one manufacturer or even across manufacturers. However, it is important to note that the use of a shorter or longer riser will result in a change in bow length and draw weight.
As a rule of thumb, you can remember the following:
-2 inch riser length = -2 inch bow length & +2 lbs draw weight
or
+2 inch riser length = +2 inch bow length & -2 lbs draw weight
I.e.: If the riser is 2 inches shorter than the length to which the draw weight specification on the limbs refers, the bow is 2 inches shorter and the specified draw weight increases by 2 lbs.
Example table for limbs with the draw weight specification for a 25 inch riser (e.g. 20 lbs @ 25 inches) and a bow length of 68 inches. The table is incomplete and can be continued as required depending on the centre section length.
Notes on delivery time
Please note the following information on the stated and actual delivery time:
You are purchasing an item that we do not have in stock ourselves, but order from a wholesaler for you. As a rule, it will be with us in approx. 5-7 working days and can then be dispatched to you immediately. For this reason, a maximum delivery time of 8-9 working days is displayed in the order form.
However, our shop system cannot display the stock levels of wholesalers and suppliers. Even the wholesaler cannot always have every variation in stock. It may therefore be the case that the item has to be ordered directly from the manufacturer (Asia, America). In this case, the delivery time can be extended to up to 12 weeks. In special cases, the item will be made for you and may have an even longer waiting time.
After finalising your order and checking the availability of your items, you will receive information from us with a more precise delivery time. If possible, we will also offer you alternatives that can be delivered more quickly.
Thank you for your understanding.
