ILF rigs are cheap, and I think they are a great launch pad for those getting into traditional archery.
You can find suitable risers for $100, and limbs for $100.
My recommendation is not to go crazy expensive right off the bat. Traditional shooting is very subjective and personal. And it takes a long time to learn what it is that you prefer and what you like.
You're going to develop a preference for a certain poundage, a certain grip style, a certain shooting style, and a certain bow length.
Once you discover and figure out what your wheelhouse is for preferences, then you can start looking at the custom bows, because now you know what it is you want.
No I had to experiment with fixed crawl, string walking, etc. but I got into traditional archery to simply keep it simple. Basically, I knew I just wanted to grip it and rip it.
But it's taken me a few years to get to that point. So developing a shot sequence, crawling, gapping, etc I think is beneficial as it builds your muscle memory, and the sight picture is etched into your subconscious.
I don't focus so much on aiming now...but I'm still aiming, if that makes sense? The aiming out to 25yds takes place natural, while I put most of my focus on where I want to hit, getting my draw shoulder locked and expansion.
The farther beyond 25 yards I get from the target, the more I need to focus on the arrow point and aiming.
When I first started shooting traditional 10 years ago, I fell into the, burn a hole in the target mentality. Which set me back 5 years with awful target panic and my shooting continually got worse.
I installed the clicker on my bow, adjusted the tiller, and started to string crawl. Really worked on my form and worked through my issues. After a year of that I switched to straight 3under, worked up arrow weight and tuned my bow to a 25yd point on without any crawling. This allowed me to transition into gap shooting while still utilizing the clicker. My arrow tune was alot better consistently this way.
This year I pulled the clicker. I'm in control of my shot. I decide when the arrow is released. I'm almost to where I want to be, a controlled grip it and rip it.
You're following the right channels, with the Push, Shot IQ etc. Starting right off the bat with building the proper foundations, will save you the five years I wasted.
I still slow down and take my time at 40:
But can speed things up with very adequate efficiency at 22:
