Earl Hoyt is a legend in the archery industry. He is the innovator of the widely used ILF system, and his special brand of archery geometry is still utilized today in the design of many modern Hoyt bows. The XAKT ILF riser is no exception, with dynamic flex control to ensure the limb pockets flex in tandem, allowing for consistent arrow flight. Lateral limb adjustments can be made while the bow is strung.

Take advantage of a variety of target archery and bowhunting options with the three stabilizer bushings, as well as the dual plunger bushings, and a removable clicker bar set-up. The ILF limb pockets allow you to pair your XAKT riser with any ILF compatible limbs.

Features a flat, cut-past-center arrow shelf and Hoyt Pro Series high grip. Comes with a plastic elevated rest (not installed), with 1/8" and 1/16" thick padded adhesive backings to bring your elevated rest closer to center. Also comes with a removable clicker bar (not installed), installation hardware, and Allen wrenches for tuning the limb connection.

Includes a free Hoyt keychain, Hoyt decal, and nylon riser sleeve with padded interior and Velcro® closure.

Measures 25". Weighs approximately 2 lbs 6 oz. Available in right and left handed. Offered in a variety of colors in a powder coat finish. See dropdown menus for options.

ILF stands for "International Limb Fitting." The ILF system has been widely used since its development in the mid-1980s because of its capacity for fine-tuning, as well as its adaptability. You can swap out different pull weights, lengths, and styles of limbs on the riser quickly and easily due to the no-tools assembly. You can even mix and match sets of limbs and risers from different manufacturers, as long as they are ILF compatible.

Choose from a left or right hand bow (choose based on what hand you Draw the bow string with).

Bow stringer not included. A bow stringer is recommended for stringing any recurve bow or longbow. Stringing a bow without a bow stringer, or stringing it backwards will void a bow's warranty. Click here to see our Bow Stringers. It is recommended to unstring your bow if you do not plan to be shooting more than week. Store your bow on its side, or hanging vertically from a peg. Never rest the bow on the lower tip for extended periods of time. Never dry fire the bow (shooting without an arrow).
