- International Limb Fitting system - these limbs fit all standard ILF risers
Good training limbs to build up strength and go up in draw weight
These are my first ILF limbs bought to go with my new Kinetic Vygo. After reading reviews about them being "good limbs for the price but loud", I decided to buy them anyway. Mine are great and not loud at all. The fit and finish is excellent and they shoot very well. Highly recommend them !!
Those limbs will do the job for a first pair.
I thought that only mine were noisy, or that my setup was off, but after going to a competition and seeing other archers using those, I realised that they were simply very noisy.
So for a first pair they're fine, but you'll want to outgrow them fast.
Couldn't ask for anything more from a set of limbs in this price range. Clicked into my riser nicely and seated around the limb bolts perfectly. Great value IMHO.
Received my Prelude ILF limbs and installed them and have been very satisfied with my purchase.. Thanks So Much Canada Archery On-Line !!

Bow sizing based on archer's height for Olympic Recurve
Olympic Recurve bows typically range in overall size from 66" to 70". Below is a rough guideline for new archers getting started in the sport.
- 5'5" or shorter = 66" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 68" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 70" bow
The Height of a modern Olympic Recurve bow is dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. Combining long limbs with two different size risers will result in two different size bows. The typical Olympic riser size is either 23, 25" and 27".
Bow sizing based on archer's Draw Length for Traditional Takedown
Please note, traditional recurve draw length is typically shorter than compound. If transitioning always scale down at least half an inch for draw length.
For Adults
- 5'5" or shorter = 60" - 62" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 62" - 66" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 66" - 68" plus, bow
These are rough guidelines for new archers so they get the most out of their new traditional equipment. For some takedown bows limb length is not a choice. After some experience you may find you like longer or shorter limbs.
The Height of traditional takedown bows will often be dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. A 58" bow for example can be made up of any combination of limb and riser size that creates an overall length of 58".
Traditional Takedown bows can come in sizes anywhere from 52" all the way up to 70". Bows that are longer in length are typically used in tournament situations while bows shorter in total length are used for hunting.
Age and Experience guideline
- 14 years old or younger = poundage should be the as their age. Example 12 years old should be shooting 12# bow.
- 18 to 14 years old = 16# to 20# depending on body build and height
- Adult: Beginner = under 20#, Intermediate 22# to 28#, Advanced with experience = 30# and up.
