Quick but common question: are the limbs meant to be loose?

I've been asked that question many times at the club, when I explain to them it's supposed to be that way, I can see the disbelief and doubt in their face and tone of voice. You're right most are used to the Cartel or Samick Sage screw on limbs.

Another point with ILF bows is that you can string the bow with the limbs slightly too far out and you then have to twang the string a little to bed the limbs correctly. If you don't then you get a real 'crack' when you fire your first shot which can't be good for the bow (or the nerves of those standing near you).

Both of my sets of Wiawis limbs were so tight new that I thought there was something wrong with them. After attaching them a few times they loosened up a little bit , but the set I still have is still pretty snug after countless cycles of assembling and disassembling the bow.

Very nice! cheers mate, I just got my first new ilf bow and the limbs are little bit loose. as the riser is topoint and the limbs cartel. I thought I had made a mistake in buying riser and limbs from different brands.

I just bought a bow, it has ilf limbs. As you show, there is a gap between raisers and limbs. After string the bow, i did an empty shot, bowstring came loose with much wobble noise. And I can not tighten the bold of limbs, they are already all way tight

Hi NU sensei, great reviews. Im getting into archery, maybe a stupid question for many, beg my ignorance. Can the limbs on an ILF be taken on and off everytime I go to the range, without having to tune them in everytime?

Hi NUSensei, Sorry but this question is off topic from this "Loose Limbs" video. Anyway....Did the American Indians really shoot bows & arrows while mounted on a horse or is that Hollywood? If they did, did they shoot like the Mongolians or Turks? What kind of bows did they use? Just wondering if there was some kind of East Asian influence because all that I've seen in books & TV is that they shot Mediterranean style. If they did shoot in a Mediterranean style, how did they learn it before the Europeans arrived because they had to have been hunting bison and other big game already?

Hey Nu, (A little off-topic here) just wondering why you look at the bow while stringing it in the video at 1:38. I've been told that you should look away from the bow just in case something snaps back at hits you that way you don't get hit in the eye. Is that a good safety precaution or just unnecessary?
@NVArt001
@NVArt001 4 жыл бұрын
Since the loose end of the string was already on the limb, the chances of it coming off and hitting you are minimal.
@tiggermail0101

TBH stringing should ALWAYS be done using a stringer. I know of several archers who are lucky not to have lost an eye using this method. In the UK we ONLY teach stringing using a stringer.

Please note that the limbs will come out if your string breaks, and go charging up the field, so keep your string in good condition, and if you get an unusual amount of string stretch, cut the thing! Better kill a worn out string than damage Your limbs!

It just means its very easy and fast to attach and detach without even needing tools, and the simple reason that it has no NEED to be attached tightly, when the string and bolt will take care of that once you string the bow.

there is also the functions of the bolts themself , adjusting them up and down for tiller and poundage , a function you don't get on the fixed limbs

@@NUSensei i doubt that, a solid fit could easily made - it is for adjustability reasons, if the limb is pressed against the tiller adjustment bolt you have only one fixed point to worry about and it has no load if the bow is unstrung since it is separated from the locking pin
