Samick Ideal 25" ILF Riser

Samick Sports calls it the "Ideal" because it's the ideal metal riser for beginning and intermediate target archers to take with them from the backyard to the winner's podium. ...read more

Samick has constructed this 25" ILF riser from die-cast aluminum. The flat shelf is cut deep past center and the handle features a removable high grip.

Archers who experience target panic will appreciate the clicker hole and removable bar setup. There are also ATA accessory holes for mounting a bow sight (includes a set of mounting screws), dual plunger holes for use with a plunger and elevated rest, and three 5/16" stabilizer bushings of use with weights and/or stabilizers. So you'll be able to use all your favorite target shooting gear with the Samick Ideal riser.

The ILF connection features center alignment and weight/tiller adjustment. Includes Allen wrenches for adjusting.

Weighs 2 pounds 6 ounces. Available in right and left handed in colors of black, red, white, and blue. Please specify.

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).

Asked by John 3 years ago

what size limbs would i need with this riser to accommodate a 30" pull and a 35# to 45# pull?...thanks in advance

Post an Answer
On a 25" riser any limbs will accommodate a 30" draw. Medium lim 3 years ago

On a 25" riser any limbs will accommodate a 30" draw. Medium limbs would make a 68" bow for reference. As for pull weight, you will have to see what riser length the limbs are rated on, then subtract 1# per inch going from that length to 25". So a limb rated on a 17" riser is going to be 8# lighter on a 25" riser.

Asked by Peter80 4 years ago

Firstly I'm sorry for my English and question.Is draw weight controllable on this riser by "tiller bolt" (?) My draw lengt is 29,1" and I would like to know if sometimes I need it, I could decrease/moderate it the first month....

Asked by Zim 4 years ago

What Samick limbs do you recommend. I'm thinking carbon foam? What would the overall length be? I have shot a bow before but this would be my first bow. Not at all interested in hunting and will not compete, just target shooting.

Post an Answer
I really like the Carbon/Foam Discovery Limb we offer. We have 2 4 years ago

I really like the Carbon/Foam Discovery Limb we offer. We have 2 different lengths available. The longer the bow the smoother it will draw and you can be more accurate due to that.

Asked by charles 4 years ago

one: does this bow take bristle capture rest *on center* (had and issue with my old bow that the "shelf" was left from center)? two: will this withstand draw weight of 55 lbs?

Post an Answer
It is cut past center for handling wrap around rests, so it shou 4 years ago

It is cut past center for handling wrap around rests, so it should be able to handle any rest. Though would need more information on the exact rest you have to tell you more. As for the 55# weight, you would need to check with Samick, but I don't see why it would not be able to.
