[Gold Flinger]

The only time I've changed my limbs is when I needed to change weight - I imagine this is the reason for the majority of limb changes, either increasing or decreasing. As such, it's very difficult to compare like with like. Not many archers will change and pair of 38lb imbs for a different brand of 38s unless there was a problem witht he first pair (or they have more money than sense!)
When I changed limbs, I went from woodcore Hoyts to carbon Winacs. I had to adapt my form to get to grips with the increased weights so I couldn't say for sure whether the new limbs are any more stable, forgiving or any of the other superlatives that people tend to heap on limbs.
Being carbon, they are supposed to recover quicker; they're certainly faster but I would expact them to be - they're 10lb heavier!
They feel smooth enough but again, they're heavier than my old limbs so the increased wight is the most noticeable difference.
If I'd known that XQ1s were going to come down to £250, I might have been tempted to hang on and buy them instead, simply because they're much prettier than the Winacts!
