I've seen one in person at a shoot...but it was a righty so I didn't get to shoot it. The guy shooting it really liked it....looks like a solid quality riser.... everything W&W I've seen is quality. His setup was a tad noisy but it was due to him shooting a very light noisy 300gr arrow for target stuff.Just curious if anyone here has tried the Win Win black wolf (also rebranded as a the tradtech lobo)? I am looking at trying out an ilf recurve, to see if it can run with my 2 piece longbows for backcountry hunting.
I agree, they are a wise choice. I had a satori, but didn't care for it (didn't like the grip or the fact it was a 21" riser on mine) I just got a 19" riser (das tribute) and love the grip on it. just got it so don't even have limbs yet, but I already like the freedom of choosing any limbs I could imagine. first on the list is a light set of recurve limbs for training, second will be some Morrisons... I have the super curve curiosity.The ILF recurves shoot just like any other takedown recurve. Now the limb to riser connection is a typically blended to be more aesthetically pleasing on most customs. The only reason I would chose custom over ILF is if I wanted that custom look. Some guys identify with their bows- great...and prefer to walk the woods with a custom longbow. I get it.
Shooting wise, I've shot a couple customs and feel an ILF riser with a quality limb feels and shoots as good if not better than any of the customs I've tried. I know my couple sets of premium limbs are smoother with better performance for sure.
A guy can get a very cheap ILF setup that is comparable in performance to many customs.
Its pretty much a feel thing. I see why guys like a Black Widow for example...they shoot good. But then comparing it side by side with my one ILF setup....mine was smoother on the back end and faster.
The versatility of ILF is hard to beat....and it's not like it takes a long time to swap- 2 minutes?

I tried shooting off the rest and it worked ok but when I went with a button and flipper I not only shot better but more consistent, for hunting live game that’s very important to me.Trad newb question: Are you ILF guys shooting off the shelf, or using a rest for hunting?
a LOT of people do.Wondering if anyone shoots an ILF recurve rig for hunting?
Figure I can get into one pretty cheap, then continue saving up for a nice custom bow.
I've owned one for about 2yrs. I have Tradtech RC carbon woods on it and its been an absolute joy to shoot. Dead in the hand. I didn't love the original grip and had an RCore made for it. The only thing that I don't like about the riser is the lack of quiver bushings.Just curious if anyone here has tried the Win Win black wolf (also rebranded as a the tradtech lobo)?
