Description
2nd CHANCE | The limbs show signs of use.
The perfect limbs for ambitious shooters who want to get more out of their bow! Made of fiberglass laminate with a core of high-quality foam, the DRAKE Volta ILF limbs extend their already excellent characteristics with a softer draw length and significantly better torsional stiffness. The "secret" behind this is the already mentioned foam core, which gives the Foam Limbs an enormous amount of comfort. All together, this makes the Foam Limbs perfect limbs for both advanced and beginner players who appreciate a bit more comfort. The classic matte black finish of the limbs matches both sporty risers and traditional wooden grips. The subtle print rounds out the package visually.
The "ILF" in the name of the DRAKE Volta Foam limbs stands for the International Limb Fitting System - in short: ILF system - which identifies them as plug-in limbs and makes them universal. Because with the ILF system, the limbs are not screwed to the riser, but only inserted into the corresponding holders. The holders are standardized and ensure that the limbs can be used with all ILF risers.

Notice:
The bow length and draw weight given are for use of the limbs with a 25 inch riser. When using a shorter riser, the specified bow length is reduced accordingly and the draw weight increases by 2 lbs for every 2 inches of shorter bow length. E.g., using a 23 inch riser also results in a 2 inch shorter bow length and a draw weight increased by 2 lbs.

Notes on draw weight & bow length
Limb labelling
The limbs of a bow are always labelled with an inscription that not only indicates the draw weight of the limbs, but also the length of the riser or the bow length to which the draw weight refers. This labelling can look like this, for example:
25 lbs @ 19 inches or
19H 25 lbs 62 inches or
25 lbs @ 62 inches or also
62 inches / 25 lbs
If no length of the riser is specified, a 25 inch riser is usually the basis for the draw weight specification. In the case of special bows where the limbs are only suitable for the respective riser, the draw weight is of course based on the corresponding riser.
Many limbs are also available in three different lengths - usually called short, medium and long - with which the bow lengths 66, 68 and 70 inches can be achieved despite the same riser.
Converting the draw weight and bow length
Many limbs have universal mounting options that allow them to be used at least on different risers from one manufacturer or even across manufacturers. However, it is important to note that the use of a shorter or longer riser will result in a change in bow length and draw weight.
As a rule of thumb, you can remember the following:
-2 inch riser length = -2 inch bow length & +2 lbs draw weight
or
+2 inch riser length = +2 inch bow length & -2 lbs draw weight
I.e.: If the riser is 2 inches shorter than the length to which the draw weight specification on the limbs refers, the bow is 2 inches shorter and the specified draw weight increases by 2 lbs.
