Description
Limbs | JACKALOPE Hunter - ILF - 62" - 25-60 lbs
The JACKALOPE Hunter - ILF limbs are made of black fiberglass laminate with a core of high-quality maple wood and offer everything you expect from ILF limbs: Great stability, excellent performance and a wide range of draw weights. The tips are made of bakelite and are of course suitable for Fast Flight strings.
The limbs are attached with the International Limb Fitting System (ILF), where the limbs are simply inserted into the slots on the riser. Fastening with screws is completely unnecessary. This simple but innovative and standardized system allows the use of limbs from different manufacturers and does not limit the shooter to just one manufacturer or to the manufacturer of the riser. This way the limbs can be mounted easily and quickly or exchanged for other draw weights or models.

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.
