Thank you for all the great content. I am currently trying to build a hunting bow mainly for Treestand hunting. I want some thing at 50 pounds that doesn’t stack. What would your recommendations be?
Oh thank you brother! That's a great question! Are we talking one-piece, longbow, recurve, Takedown, ILF and at what draw length and what budget? I'd love to figure this one out together!
This would be on a budget of 600 US. I have a 27 inch draw length and I was thinking about an ILF riser recurve or longbow is fine with me. I have been shooting Bear recurves for years but I know there is other bows out there that shooting better and don’t stack as bad as Bear
@@mumurioste790 awesome! I'd go 17 inches on the riser with plenty of deflex paired with neutral limb pads. Also, Wf19 with medium recurve limbs would make a killer and fast setup. Maybe you'd find a set on the used market. Wood or metal riser?
Thank you for the info. I love the look of wood but metal is just fine for me. I found a Allegheny 17″ Ranger - ILF Riser but I don’t know much about them though.
@@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!
Great video brother! quick request - please sing "The hills are alive with the sound of music" in your next video in the Austrian mountains. Lots of love.
love the grip to tip series, thanks for putting in the effort!
Cheers! Thank you for the kind words! I can use any help I get! Always happy for suggestions how to make it more enjoyable.
Great video. glad you kept the rain showers in. thanks for the review of the limbs, i will be checking them out.
Thank you for the lovely feedback! More to come!
Ordered Bosen ILF longbow Limbs XL. Thanks for the review.
Sweet. You'll love em
I really enjoy your videos. After reading some of your comments on Facebook I purchased a set of these carbon/foam limbs. I really liked them and ordered a second set. First set came in in about 2 weeks and the second set arrived in just over 1 week after I ordered them. I have them on a 17" DAS riser and I have a 29" draw. I have to say from a quality perspective they appeared to be equal to a $600 dollar limb. I have quite a few sets of higher end carbon recurve limbs from other manufacturers and I have to say I was blown away at the quality of this limb. I have had several sets of ILF longbow limbs in the past and just haven't been pleased but these shoot really nice.
Man, thank you so much for the feedback. I'm so glad that I can reach some people and it actually helps them! Cheers for the support!
I should have mentioned I purchased the XL limbs.
@@mroland311 awesome mate! I think long would be fine in many cases. I personally just like the longer working limb.
Great videos, sent an inquiry to Bosen. Hope you enjoyed your visit to Alberta.
Cheers mate! Thanks for the kind comment!
Yes very nice limbs that Bosen make. I have the foam fiberglass longbow limbs in longs also a 29 inch draw. I should try the x long limbs on my Dx5 riser. I do have a hard time finding a bottom limb tip protector for these fine ,small limb tips. Thanks for your video
Cheers mate.
nice review. subbed for the scenery and do it rain or shine. Nice simple set up. Where would you recommend one to look for riser and limbs such ones in the vid? Thanks man.
Thanks for the kind comment! Go to Bosen directly for the limbs and risers. Other than that I would say the Tradtech titan, Wf19 by cd archery and gillo riders are a great match for these limps. Possibly also the black wolf by win&win
very detailed product review,great attention to detail! Well done!-Heres my question as i ve been toying withthis Idea to get me a solid ilf set(zero exp.w ilf here ,wood sticks only) what riser length would (you recommend)that work w bosen xl limbs ,longbow &recurve limbs alike for DL 31plus? -was thinking that perhaps WW black elk model would fit the bill (?)&would be a good-one to consider... and lastly if you had to choose a wood/phenolic Riser instead what model would be a good option to suit both style of these limbs? Appreciate your input ,thank you in advance!
Awesome video sir! I have a question for you. How do these compare to the DAS longbow limbs? You briefly mentioned them in the video, but didn’t give much for detail. I have a Gillo get Lux 21 riser and I have narrowed it down to these two limbs. Could you give me any advice? Thanks for your awesome channel!
Nothing wrong with the das but they wouldn't beat these.
Hi, Danke für dein tolles Video! Meine Limbs sind schon im Anflug! Bin schon gespannt wie die Dinger auf (m)einem 19“ Riser „abgehen“!
Sag in welchem Parcours regnet‘s hier so viel? 😉 ….tolle Gegend? Wo bist da?
So viel... War eh den ganzen Sommer trocken. Lol. Wirst sie sehr mögen. Bin am Traunsee
Nice video. Are the limbs weighted with the limb bolts fully in, or a the mid point of the limb bolts. On your Titan 17” riser, what do your limbs max out at?
Measured at 1 turn out, as is usually recommended. I'd say you got about 2 lbs adjustment. The poundage isn't actually as variable on ilf rigs as people think and wish it is if you still want to maintain proper tune, sound and shoot ability. The tiller bolts are for that, tiller. Cheers for the support
Have you tried out or know anyone that has had any experience with 17” horn ilf longbow package from Bosen?
No, but geometry wise it should work nicely
Hi frome Switzerland ! Right after seeing your videos I bought those limbs and a satori 17 inches riser. The limbs are working real good but I have a major silencing problem , I tried rabbit silencers + neopren foam on the ilf contact points but it's still way louder than recurve limbs, any tips ?
Brace height. Not the right riser for these limbs I think. They have contact at the tips.
@@woodsmansfinest3814thanks i'll try playing with brace height, what do you mean by "contact at the tips " ?
@@laurentthiemard what it sounds like. It hits the limb tips
@@woodsmansfinest3814 a quick feedback i changed my brace height waaaay higher, about 9.5 inches and it seems to have done the trick. I'm not used to a so high brace (i shoot more often a blackwolf 62 inches from Win Win). Did you also set a high brace ? Anyway thx a lot for your advice. Hâve a nice day
@@laurentthiemard like I said, this riser isn't for longbow limbs. The deflex is extreme and the limb angles relaxed. Leads to not enough tension on the limbs. Gotta go high on the brace which means loosing performance. I'd shoot them off the black wolf. I got the riser and it would be a better fit.
I bought a custom formula RCX bosen limbs on my 19 buffalo hoyt riser it makes 60" /52 lbn. Must say that geometry consistency and engineering overall are excellent. But compared to Uukha set should say that Bosen limbs are much more stiffer to pull. If you look for a good combo price 2 quality go for a such lonbow limbs or RCX its the same materials under 360USD. But their XC hunting 550 USD I would rather pay 200eur more and buy me Uukha for better feeling no stacking limbs
I hear ya. Still can't compare apples and pears. The limbs you are talking about are static recurves. Which means they need to be tillered and in length fitting your draw length or they will max out. I find that at my 27. 5 inch draw, the Wf19 in combo with the medium RCX static recurve limbs opens up and sits perfectly. On a longer riser they don't open fully, on a shorter one I get slightly past the sweet spot. Hope that helps.
@@woodsmansfinest3814 ya that helps, so It means that bosen does not have in short versión optimal opening at 28-29? Anyway, you Will not have this issue with any of the uukha version
@@woodsmansfinest3814 the Matter is for hunting in the spanish mountains you can not use 62-64" bow set, the bow should be shorter
@@woodsmansfinest3814 may be this very combination: bosen riser horn17"+longs,or rcx gt 60/62" boset could be optimal
@@alexyatsyuk70 again... Can't compare a working recurve with a static recurve and a short limb is never a great idea. Of course it will stack and is never recommended by any major tuning experts. You need a long limb actually
Out of curiosity, would those work on the Vpa riser ?
Like a dream.
Great video! We machine our risers right in our facility in Fort Wayne, IN USA - 100% American-Made. We appreciate your feedback on the geometry of our VPA Vapor Riser - we have some exciting projects in the works regarding our Riser - more info to come 2024.
100%, and I didn't mean you talking about overseas products. As I mentioned in your review video, I'm aware that your products are made in the USA as advertised and I love em!
How would the Bosen longbow limbs do on that VPA riser?
@@dominator146 Thanks for reaching out! As long as the limbs are ILF compatible, they will work.
why do you prefere longbow limbs over recuve?
physicly the recurves are slightly superior( speed per pound of drawweight)
Of course they are... Why do people like SUVs if they can drive a sportscar, cowboyboots over runners... I've explained in many videos that I prefer the drawn force curve. But I got over 60 bow setups and half are recurves.
how about the bosen riser? compared with other riser.
Patience, coming up!
I have another question for you sir.
I am wanting to use a 21 inch Hoyt riser. I draw 28 1/4 inches. Which length limb would you go with?
This will be my elk hunting setup for 2024, and I plan to shoot 50-51 pounds.
Thanks again!
I wouldn't recommend these limbs on a Satori.
Dang, I was hoping they would work on my satori. Is it the lack of deflex in the Satori that makes them not work so well?
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!
@@bradleysweetin2271 what? He Satori has one of the most pronounced deflex of all risers on the market. No, it is the combo of deflex, length, limb pad angles and needed brace hight on these limbs that wouldn't make it a good combo.
@@bradleysweetin2271 no that's not what I meant. I actually meant the riser design.
G'day,
How do you think these limbs would go on a Win&Win Black Wolf 17" riser?
Cheers mate, Pete
Hey mate! Since a friend has got one, and I'm a big fan of the riser, I've tried several limbs on it. Should get it on the channel too. I'd say they would go great because while the Wolf got tons of reflex, it also has fairly aggressive limb pad angles. Brace height might be a bit higher than 8 to get it quiet but I think the combo would rock. Wouldn't go shorter than Longs though. Cheers Max
@@woodsmansfinest3814 great thanks. Was thinking XLs on it to start.
Do you think longs or XLs would be better?
How does the #50 feel on the fingers? I usually shoot #45 but wouldn't mind trying a higher poundage depending on how they feel.
Cheers mate
@@petercollins1921 I can just repeat what I said in the video and above. I'd go XL for a smoother draw and get them in a weight so I turns out around 48 lbs on your riser and at your draw.
@@woodsmansfinest3814 would love to see you make a video testing the wolf and limb combination.
@@woodsmansfinest3814 I also have a 19" DAS Tribute ILF riser. After watching your Boden limb vids, kinda excited to see what is possible with it too.
Great info in your vids. Keep going!
What string do you run?
Love the 652 Spectra strings. Js custom strings are my go to
I thought i would let you know that i ended up ordering these limbs from Bosen. What an awful experience. I ordered the limbs April 13th. I have emailed them over and over with no reply. They simply took my money. I will never place another order from these thieves again.
I've never heard of that issue. Bought multiple times from them and so have other people I know.
Well about not ripping anybody off... Their Recurve Limbs and logo design and placement is taken from border archery.
That's nonsense. Their recurve limbs are static recurves and have nothing in common with border. I should know. Their logo placement? Where else would you put a logo? Design? How else would you write Bosen? Sorry, I'm the first to flag knockoffs as I am am independent craftsman myself but I got no nerves for fanboy crap. In Sid's opinion Border has invented the air and the sun. I've never heard of Bosen limbs blow up... But Borders are an expensive time bomb. So, no, none of their designs are Border knockoffs and to claim that you'd have to own both, which you for sure don't.
@@woodsmansfinest3814
Quite an emotional response. You seem to really dislike border. I couldn't care less about the Border brand. Just stating the obvious. Stay unbiased ✌🏼
@@theREDC0de bullshit. You made a bold and totally unprompted statement lacking apparently any knowledge about limb design. Border are working recurves, bosen are static limb ends like Siyahs. Don't run around the Internet, claiming shit and then getting your panties in a wad.
@@theREDC0de why would I be unbiased? What am I? The supreme court? I like what I like and use what I use based on having tested and corresponded with a ton of people in the industry. I like some over others but in this case it's just you stating stuff that's based on a glimpse but not knowledge of the details of the product and that's idiotic
@@woodsmansfinest3814
Bro who spit in your coffee this morning?
Good luck with that. ✌🏼
