I used to have winacts, and prefer the SF limbs I've moved on to.
They were for sale at over £200 at alternative when I last looked (They had them reduced from that as an introductory offer for a while, but still quoted that price)- and that's the price Tony from Custom Built said they were worth when I went there to try them. He said they were selling them cheaper because they could, and wanted to pass that on to the customer. He also said a lot of good things about their performance - if he hadn't thought they were worth buying, I'm sure he would have tried to sell me something more expensive from win & win or hoyt.
Of course, people are always going to go for limbs with "pedigree", but a good archer could shoot a winning score with the most basic equipment. What it comes down to, is that these limbs make buying a decent quality pair on a budget possible - without having to settle for something second hand.

I didn't get the chance to draw them, so I can't comment on how they compared. |
So you don't like the way it looked, but you have no idea how they feel?
And price isn't everything - it doesn't guarantee bad or good quality.
(For a non-archery example, really expensive cars often have a reputation for breaking down a lot. Alpha-Romeo anyone?)

I think WinEx are considered to be in the next band of limbs up from SF, along with Hoyt G3's. The SF limbs are more comparable to Everests, or possibly M1s.
