The innovative pivot lock limb adjustment allows for lateral limb adjustments while the bow is fully strung, then locks down for solid dependability. The stainless steel tiller boots and tiller bolt locking screws ensure stability, consistency, and balance.

Earl Hoyt is the innovator of the widely used ILF system, and his special brand of archery geometry is still utilized today. The XAKT recurve bow is no exception, with dynamic flex control to ensure the limb pockets flex in tandem, allowing for consistent arrow flight.

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.
