Their was a Yamaha TYSL for sale on eBay recently. Don't know about poundage though. Yammy limbs are not ILF.

PM Eolla, as he is the resident Yamaha expert.

I have some that are rated 34# and are 70" - I have no idea what they are worth. Also shipping from US might be a bit pricey. They are over twenty years old, but I did shoot them some in the last few months and they didn't blow up in my face.:) The riser is YT-SL, which I did have drilled and tapped to accept a sight with vertical mounting block hardware.

Ok you have to be just a bit careful. Your friends bow is "about" 20 years old, this was "about" the time Yamaha changed limb mounts. I nned to know the riser model

YTSL YTSL2 and EX all take the same limbs
EX Alpha (has a "fish" symbol) and Eolla take newer limbs

The two are not interchangeable. Your friends bow is most likely YTSL2, in which case ex and ytsl limbs will fit. Also "Border" made Yamaha limbs, these appear on Ebay UK quite frequently.

One last point, Yamaha had Short, Medium, and Long length limbs, they are marked as such. This is improtant information when looking for replacements.

I just sold my last spare limbs to a lady in the UK, but I may be getting a 66" YTSL2 32# complete bow later this week. Hope this helps, if it's confusing PM me I'll help you out. Cheers JR
