This is why mixing limbs and risers from different manufacturers can be interesting. I recall that when I bought my Border XP10 limbs and tried them on several risers, the draw weight felt different each time. On the Spigarelli 2001 I'm sure they weighed in at about 2-3lb heavier than expected. As it happens, on my Intrepid they weigh in at exactly the marked weight at 28in. |
Dead on. I'm not sure when Hoyt made the change to "middle-range" as I can remember trying out some carbon+ limbs back in the 90's which seemed to be marked at the bottom end...
That was an eye-opening day, I recall. I tried 3 sets of limbs, two marked at 38, one at 36. One pair was coming up at 38 (as near as I could estimate, given my draw length), the 36 was coming up at 37, and so was the other pair of 38s... I hadn't realised the marked weights might vary that much on *quality* limbs. I subsequently found the AMO standards, where it documents that the marking is allowed to be +- 1lb out...
