Hi Crystalshrimp,

I just acquired a 56″ Morrison ILF with 2 stets of carbon/foam longbow limbs, one 60lb and a 68lb set, however I intend to purchase some recurve limbs also.

This is the shortest bow I have ever owned, I was concerned about stability and finger pinch, well, no worry’s, as I just shot a 3D yesterday with it and beat 2nd by 72 points, not bragging, just saying my concerns where unfounded.

For me the ILF system is ingenues, it allows me so many different combination it’s endless.

I have a 14″ riser and will get a 17″ and a 20″ with just those risers and 2 sets of limbs I can have 6 different combinations, throw in 2 sets of recurve limbs and the combinations go’s to 12, in my mind it’s the ultimate set up.

Not to mention, if I blow up a set of limbs, I have not destroyed my whole bow, which has happened 3 time on the most expensive bows I have ever bought.

Just my 2 cents

But item 3 is a little worrying. No helical and no offset means no spin. That’s how we used to shoot musket balls back in the good old days… KWB: This is a incorrect understanding, the arrow does spin and is vary stable, the single bevel imparts some spin as it cuts through the air, also, a right wing feather will also impart right spin as that is it’s natural design

I guess if you shoot arrows with no offset and no helical, you can mix up left and right hand feathers and you can shoot single bevel broadheads of either wing too…? KWB: This also would be wrong thinking, you would be making an extremely unstable arrow, mixing right wing with left wing feathers

Why get rid of the helical and offset? Is there some other affect adding to the stability of the arrow that compensates for taking away the inertial stability of rotation?

KWB: The efoc, single bevel arrow is stable by design, requiring less steering as a regular arrow requires to have the same stability

Fallguy, my specs for this arrow are as follows, GT 300, 29″, 2″ of 2117 footing, 100gr steel adapter and Tuffhead 300, 4×2″ A&A feathers, total arrow weight 710 grains & 31.55% foc

You have to remember to tune the arrow to you & your bow, carbons can stiffen up quickly so cut judiciously.

I am always tweaking stuff, but I’m pretty happy with this set up.

Some strong evidence, that demands a verdict.

The front shoulder has been removed, the ribs have been cut from the top and pealed down, showing the intact vital organs, the heart is still in it’s little sheathing, called The Pericardium, forward and down from the lungs, as you can see, there is NOT a slit in the lung, I hunted with Zewicky’s for decades and have never seen this before.

The “L” cut is only evidenced from a single bevel, so, to me, I get the cutting of a 3 blade, with the penetration of a sleek 2 blade.

You have to ask your self, how was this cut made from a 1 1/16″ wide 2 blade? how can a 2 blade have this kind of cut?

Keeping an open mind. keeps us on the path of discovery.

This was a private message, but I thought I would share it.

“David. Ed Ashby wrote you the ultimate compliment on trad bow. He was right in every thing he said .I probably would have metered it out a little at a time so your head would not sweel up:)) laughing.

Good job!

My reply

Hi Joe,

You know, Ed has been telling everyone about these things for a long time and he takes a lot of mocking about single bevel, turbulators, star-burst, efoc, mechanical advantage, A & A feathers etc….

He’s a better man than me, his patience and long suffering of the skeptics is saint like, he’s probably just happy he’s not as crazy as everyone thinks lol 😀

The worst part is, the skeptics wont even try and reproduce what he is telling us, they just mock, and pretend it’s fake.

If people would stop and think for a second, his goal is to help every bowhunter tweak his bowhunting tackle to be more efficient and deadlier, and that’s what it’s about.

I’m just a test monkey……….lol

Dr. Ed Ashby wrote: Great autopsy video, King. I particularly like the clearly shown “L-shaped” cut through the lungs on the second test shot and the ‘starburst’ cut showing on the liver, from the kill-shot. Superb video work.

I wish I had been able to do videos during the Study but didn’t for several reasons; I’m not tech-savvy enough to operate one, couldn’t afford a good video camera and, as you’re learning, it takes a lot of effort to carry along AND use all the things one would like to when working in the field. With all the assortment of arrows and measuring equipment I was always carrying it was just more than I could manage. At any rate, I’m immensely grateful that you are documenting on video so many of the things I’ve tried to capture in still photos. Unless one has done a lot of field testing it is hard to grasp the extra effort required to document the shot outcomes. You have my most sincere thanks for the great effort you’re putting in.

Ed

Thanks Doc. I know I been telling you that I would do it….. it’s just taken longer than I thought.

I have see the “L” cut, several times, never the star-burst, the camera just does not catch what the eye can, still pic’s are vary hard to discern what you are really looking at.

The video camera does a better job, just not as good as the eye.

I always think of other things I want to do after it’s over and I’m home, then I forget the next time I hunt lol

I remembered some of it this time …..lol

Dave….Oh I know…. hope to go there next weekend lol 😯 Area S4 is part of the famous ‘Area 51’

We named the spot “area 51” as it’s a strange place… so, the only stranger place than area 51 is, area S4, we haven’t found that yet…lol

I pretty much give all my hunting spots name:

Here’s a few:

Kilimanjaro

Killer Cortez

2nd spot

CVD

Valhalla

Javous wall

Bloody heart

Little Sequoya etc…… there all for fun

I have been shooting laminated birch 5/16 shafts spined at 45 -50 ( because I liked that 5/16 diameter ) with a 125 head total weight 650 grns finished. I know that I could gain some weight by ordering 50 – 55 or 55 -60 shafts – 11/32 how much I don’t know. Just like making and shooting wood any suggestions? I hunt mulies and elk . Thanks back to work

Wahoo, thanks man, as far as wood arrows go’s I have to defer to Troy or Dave, as it’s been so-long sense I have messed with wood arrow, I would probably steer you wrong.

I know you can increase your foc, but you will hit the wall sooner with wood arrows.

If you look hard you can see her sleeping……..

David Petersen wrote: King — I am livid with envy!!! 😛 Not only of your hunting prowess but of your weather. 😀

Every bowhunter should watch these videos, particularly the second one. 😀

Well Dave, it was a blue-bird day,:D the wind was gusting, uncomfortable for me, but made for excellent stocking.

Another amazing thing I have not mentioned, is the arrow was broke about 10″ inside the chest cavity, about 2″ in-front of the diaphragm, I thought it broke at the entrance wound, I was wrong, later upon examination, it had blood about 5″ up the broke part of the shaft, so I would say the total penetration on the first shot was closer to 20-25″

Hi Scott, yes these limbs are 60lb, I also have a 67lb set of limbs that I will be hunting with also.

Hi Troy, you already know it’s a labor of love…..lol 😯

I will tell you, it’s hard work being THE HUNTER, CAMERA MAN, ACTOR, NARRATOR, PRODUCER, & WRITER, all while trying to smoke a cigar and film ….lol…lol 😀

It is amazing how I miss spoke again, on this video, I say; on the second shot, that I’m not high enough for the heart, what I meant to say; was I’m to high to hit the heart
