Description
Limbs | KINETIC New Avantage - ILF - 18-40 lbs
The new Avantage limbs are made of high quality black foam core laminated with durable fiberglass. An excellent choice for the medium performance level.
The “ILF” in the name of the limbs stands for the International Limb Fitting System - ILF system for short - which characterizes them as universal limbs. This is because with the ILF system, the limbs are not screwed onto the middle section, but simply inserted into the corresponding holders. The mounts are standardized and ensure that the limbs can be used with all ILF centerpieces.

-Draw weight: 18-40 lbs (in 2 lbs increments)
-Material (limbs): Fiber/Foam

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.
