How To Set Up an ILF Bow | October Mountain Products

[@generalcomments1239]

I just ordered an ILF bow - waiting for my package. After seeing this I'm regretting my decision. What a lot of palava....

[@layanf4963]

great video and well explained. I would recommend using a different color for the background its quite hard to see👍

[@leaaae4638]

oh wow lots of steps. Didn't know it can get so complicated haha. Lots of little things to buy.

[@edwardlaw797]

Top tiller should be more than lower…

[@esc8engn]

Thank you for helping to clarify the difference between tiller measurements vs brace. Archery wisdom can sometimes be hard to unpack for noob/ams like me.

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

You're welcome!

I am real glad I found this video. I have had the vista for a few years now and really enjoy it. I was recently looking at the night rage ILF. I do have my recurve broken down while backpacking / camping. Would I have to make these adjustments each time I take it down put it back together?

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

Once its set up it’ll be ready to shoot more often than not…if the brace height changes from the string twisting or untwisting it would need to be reset to the proper brace height it was tuned to. Thanks for reaching out; hope this helps!

[@nickhorton785]

All good information. Thank you.

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

Glad it was helpful!

[@NewWebStudio]

Thanks! Very useful information. Make the Russian subtitles, please!!!!!

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

You're welcome! We'll work on getting some Russian subtitles, too. Thanks for the feedback!

So your saying it's fine to set your tiller height while the bow is strung, is that correct, I always thought if your doing split finger draw, you want a bit more tiller in the upper limb, by 1/8 to 1/4 ", your advocating equal is that right. Also when doing three under, yo have equal or just the opposite to the split finger setup.

[@averagekiwiconsumer9977]

This is 100% correct. Do you watch @nusensei?

[@ee222]

thanks for the great video. i actually got here from your website when i looked up the "night ridge". since there's no mention on the "night ridge's" webpage and it wasn't mentioned here, could you tell me where the "night ridge" is manufactured? and by "manufactured" i'm wanting to know where the bow's components are taken from raw materials into an actual, finished ILF bow and NOT merely assembled/packaged.

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

Hey ee, most of our bows are designed and engineered in Mount Joy, PA and manufactured overseas e.g. China

[@ee222]

@@OctoberMountainProducts thanks for the reply. i noticed you mentioned the keyword "most". do you have any that are actually made here or at least not made in china in the mid range for pricing?

this was super helpful for me as a new archer. I really appreciate this video as it answered some questions I had about setting up my ilf bow. Cheers

Hey Great Day, that's what we love to hear! We're glad this video helped you with questions you had about setting up your ILF bow.

[@uricher1]

Hey OMP ! Huge thanks for this video. Well shot and easy to understand :) My ILF bow and I thank you for your time !

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

You're welcome!

I bought this bow and it was set up originally with a brace height of like 3 inches, and I cannot get a brace height of 7 inches do I keep twisting string until hit that 7 inch mark because the way it sits I cannot adjust tiller enough to get any of those measurements. Help plz

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

Thank you for reaching out! That’s a lot of twists…its possible that it is the wrong string; it would be recommended to measure both. Could you give a bit more information on the bow and string?

[@rayburns733]

Sounds to me that your string is WAY too long... if your brace height is only 3 inches you need to invest in a shorter string, length of string will depends on the length of your bow. Twisting the string will only buy you an inch or so at best, again, depending on the length of your bow. I'm guessing the string you are using did not come with the bow. NORMALLY the string should be about 3 inches shorter than the labeled AMO length on a recurve bow, this may vary depending on the length of the riser. This is a good starting point and then twisting the string should bring you in to the desired brace height. Strongly recommend you research youtub on how to measure and determining the length of a bow string.

[@dismaldunc]

thanks for that, that was the first vid I have seen whe the process is actualy completed rather than just explained

[@AidenIlkhani]

That guitar solo wins it.

[@JJ79_]

Tiller should be measured from the limbs core fade outs.

[@martinmag628]

Very good explained. Many Thanks.

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

You are welcome, Martin!

[@MayoMopper]

Wow, this video was quite informative! And... also informed me enough to understand this hobby is way more detailed than "grab arrows and shoot". Time to look for a simpler hobby lol

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

Hey Matthew, we're glad you found this video quite informative. However, don't be overwhelmed by all the information out there. Keep shooting and don't overthink it. Archery is supposed to be fun, meditative, and relaxing - not stress inducing. 🏹

[@ZephrusPrime]

Never hear of your company and I'm glad your video showed up in my feed but that Night Ridge looks NICE! I love that grip style looks a lot like my Hoyt Buffalo.

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

Thanks for watching. We're glad you came across our company and our videos!

[@OtherworldlyOdd]

Just bought my first ILF bow, just wanted to say this video was a huge help. Thanks!

[@OctoberMountainProducts]

Thanks for the feedback - We're glad it helped! Enjoy your new ILF bow!

[@rogerkay8603]

Hmm, wanted an ILF but will stick with my Bearpaw Mohican so no messing with adjusting tiller/right/left etc

[@MONKLJ]

It's not R or L, it's in or out to the riser. I think your confused with alignment of the limbs, then it's R or L, top and bottom limb. All this makes for a more even tension on the string through the release.

[@fahlvfaust677]

@@MONKLJ why my ilf bow..brace height was 8.2 inch..thats too height..

[@MONKLJ]

@@fahlvfaust677 8.2 is not out of line by any means, there are several variables to consider, 3 under, split finger, arrows you shoot, your draw length etc, everyone will be different

[@fahlvfaust677]

@@MONKLJ Some friends of mine were archer they said my brace height too high..they made me like im so stupid and dont know everything about bow and archery..huhh..they think they were ex an athlete..yes, i realised i used not expensive bow like them..i dont care..i love my wns..thanks sir for your information..

[@MONKLJ]

@@fahlvfaust677 Fahly if it's comfortable for you, then stick with it, don't worry about what friends say, everyone is different, if they say bad to you, then they are not friends.
