I was recently removing my ILF limbs from the riser and noticed that one of the alignment pins had fallen out of the limb. I pushed the pin back into the limb, re-strung the bow and haven't noticed any problems in shooting the bow. Question: Should the pin be glued back into the limb or is it supposed to be a pressure fit or should I send the limb(s) back to the bowyer for repairs? The limbs are Custom XL double carbon/bamboo.
If you are talking about the dovetail that sticks into the slot they are held in with a screw, that has a spring and a pin under it. (http://peteward.com/2012photos/misc/ILF.jpg)
Thanks for the reply Pete. No, I'm talking about the metal pin that's recessed into the limb itself. The limb and pin then are placed into the riser socket. I just now spoke to the bowyer and was told to put a small amount of super glue on the pin and press it back into the limb. I certainly appreciate the reply. p.s. We have some of your cold Alberta air with us here in Ontario for the past few days.
I have many sets of ILF limbs,and risers and none of them have any pins like you describe. ILF has a dovetali like the picture and a slot for the limb bolt. Don't know what you have but it is not ILF. can you post a photo of what you have?
