My options are 38Ib shooting mid range on the 38Ib limbs or 38Ib on the 40Ib limbs wound down. Most comments appear to agree with my feelings of 40Ib wound down for 38Ib.
Many thanks folks. |
Sounds logical because if you start finding 38lb is easy and you need more poundage then on 38lb limbs you will be getting close to max them out and they become less stable, but 40lb wound down to 38lb will be nice and stable still and give you hopefully the option to go upto 42lb without loosing any stability, after all do you really want to be looking at buying another set in 12 months time or less?
My old Merlin/Border limbs 38lb would wind upto 42lb on my Axis riser but anything over 40.5 lb and they started to loose stability which signifficantly affected the shot. I was in the same position as you and decided on 44lb Winex wound down to 42lb to start with and slowly increased poundage to 44.5lb and could go to 46-47lb if needs be without loosing any stabilty but could max out close to 49lb but will probably loose stability somewere along the way.
