@@mumurioste790 great riser but in my opinion not fish nor meat. No deflex paired with relexed limp pads is contra productive and the lack of accessory bushings for rests etc take away most of the benefits of having an ilf system. Save on the riser and get a used Titan in 17 or 19 inches, a WF 19 or one of the Bosen risers. Spend money on the limbs! Huge of the Bosen RCS myself, which are their regular carbon/foam recurve limbs, MK Korea machx or zest spray painted are dope for hunting, maybe the best limbs I've shot. Get a eagle flight quiver which dampens the limbs and doesn't mess with your balance of the bow, a nap center rest flipper arm for incredible arrow flight and a Spectra 652 14strand string with well installed cat whiskers for a weather proof and absolutely quiet setup that can do anything for ya.. Btw, thank you for the motivation. I haven't shot my bow in a bit and just got excited!

An update to what i wrote below; I made a mistake it seems in my description; I love the Tormek, it is by far the best I've ever worked with. My criticism is specifically about Tormek's knife jig and the video above. I've had both old and new and now Nic Westermann's jig (link at the bottom + I'm not affiliated in any way with either). Thank you sincerely for your effort in creating this video. Regrettably, Tormek's latest jig still falls short in providing the crucial elements of repeatability and consistency, while also misunderstanding the essence of the hollow grind. Rather than focusing on polishing the hollow (which is a totally useless waste of time, why would you want to polish the hollow?), the primary purpose of the hollow is to create a flat surface on the stone for sharpening and honing the edge. On the Tormek; I’m not talking about HAND SHARPENING Japanese hollow ground chisels …. Furthermore, sharpening against the wheel rotation not only compromises the intended function of the stop-disc in pulling the blade against the Universal Bar but also poses safety risks. Any upward movement caused by the counter-rotating wheel can result in damage to the edge (not to mention our hands). The suggestion of using two machines is counterproductive and inefficient. Instead, why not swap the wheels between coarse and fine grits, keeping the original setup intact? However, the fundamental issues with the jig persist; it will NOT center the knife, it ensures no repeatable set-up, BUT, it ensures unrepeatable setup. For a more comprehensive understanding of these concerns, I recommend referring to the following link, where Nic Westermann addresses these (and much more) points in detail: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pql6iq2am5jOZo0.html AND kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbF-g8h6v9DFlps.html

I think what you meant was the 21 inch riser and the longer limbs were a no go. Not necessarily the Satori design. I think I’m going to risk it on a set of medium limbs on it and see how I like it. I also hunt with 64 inch bows in the Rockies and Alaska. Never had a problem getting around, and I hunt deep in nasty. Recently I have been using Uukha Gobi mediums on my Satori 21. I just really want an ilf longbow that performs and is consistent. It would be much quieter for cagey animals like Pronghorn. I’ll let you know how they do sir. Thanks again for all your advice!
