SF limbs

Centreshot have a couple of pairs of these in (both kinds), so I had a look over them last night. I thought I'd post my impressions in case they were of use to anyone.

The materials used to construct them do look similar to the W&W Everest Pro, although they have a different "feel". In fact, my overall impression of the limb was that it felt like a cheaper knock-off, both in terms of the materials used and the finish. Then again, I suppose that's why they're under £200.

Comparing Everest Pro limbs of the same length side by side, there is a marked difference in the curve of the limb. Where the Everest Pro has a fairly gradual curve, the SF limbs both have an almost straight section in the middle part of the limb, and curve a little more sharply towards the end. Standing them side by side, the Everest Pro seems shorter as it has a slightly great curve overall.

So in conclusion while the materials and laminate design appear similar to the Everest Pro, the curve definitely isn't. I didn't get the chance to draw them, so I can't comment on how they compared.
