Has anyone tried these two risers? Is ILF better than Formula? Discuss.
I guess this could be interpreted in two ways, either:A clubmate has just bought the GPX. He says it feels very dead in his hands compared to his previous setup. No vibration, very solid I guess that means. Mind you, he has jumped from a Horizon to the GPX.
I guess this could be interpreted in two ways, either:
Not much feeling or feedback, hard to tell if the shot feels right
or
Solid, inspiring confidance, little stress to the bowarm and hand
For what it's worth I also recently upgraded from a SF forged plus to a GMX (27") and my scores have improved quite a bit. I love the grip, it is quite narrow so much less hand torque error. The additional weight makes it feel very stable and confidant. It does not jump from my hand in the same way the SF did even though I turned in the limb bolts quite a bit to compensate for the 2" longer setup, but it rolls forward in a very controlled manner.
For me the choice was between the GMX or the RX as I am a LH archer and there are only a few LH 27" risers around and I don't like the new HPX or ION-X design as I have a 31.5" draw.
I chose for the GPX as I prefer the freedom of choice of the ILF limbs and I agree with the many archers that the fomula limbs are overpriced and that you can get a much better deal on an ILF limb used or new from any of the other manufacturers.
When I started I had a 2nd hand 25" Hoyt nexus with medium 42lb 990tx's holding 46lbs at 30" draw.Hello Bigfrank, What setup are you shooting currently?
The best option is to go to a good archery shop and try a few combinations
I have the GMX (don't like the tec design for a recurve) with Uukha EX1 long limbs 32 lbs, 39 otf. I am looking to upgrade to 36 lbs UX100.Is is a GMX or a GPX you have? What limbs are you currently using? Have you tried Formula limbs before?
Haven't heard of it so far but the GPX may also suffer with the shorter sight window like the 25" HPX and ION-X.
I'm assuming the sight window compatibility depends on the distance between your anchor and the centre of your eye?
Does anyone know what the max distance that would allow you to use a 25" ION-X would be??

No the problem is with formula risers only, because formula limbs need to have longer but - so sight window is shorter.
Can I ask what was wrong with 27" Inno max? as its seems to me ideal rires for 30" DL.....
Didn't like the grip. Thought it was too wide and I think 25" / long limbs would be smoother.No the problem is with formula risers only, because formula limbs need to have longer but - so sight window is shorter.

Could you just make a custom grip? I dislike the feel of any bow I pick up other than my own due to the grip but I'm sure you could buy a spare and reshape it.Didn't like the grip. Thought it was too wide and I think 25" / long limbs would be smoother.
I would say the difference in shoothness will be marginal......you can gain much more by shooting different limbsDidn't like the grip. Thought it was too wide and I think 25" / long limbs would be smoother.
And changing riser because grip....well it's your money....
