Shooting style: Olympic Recurve
Riser: Hoyt Matrix
Limbs: Border TXB 70" - 36#
String inc strands: Angel Majesty 18 strand Majesty Serving
Sight: Shibuya Dual Click
button: Shibuya DX
Stabiliser: AGF Carbon Longrod 30"
Bracing height: 23cm
Arrows: Cartel Triples 400 @ 30 5/8"

Draw length is a bit over 30" so around 42# on the fingers.
Brace height is at 23 cm with 15 twists in the string. I would like to try it a bit lower, but with only 15 twists, I have not got much left to unwind. Having said that it is sounding fine, and groups are small enough, if I shoot well enough.
Had the limbs since June, and I am very pleased with em. I have only been shooting a short while, joined the club in Feb and entered half a dozen comps since. Not won anything yet, but shooting at first class level.
Anyhow here are the pics.

John.

I'm about the only one who is currently shooting fita in Finland using border limbs. I have a fairly long draw and there is absolutely no stack with these limbs, and I've never left needing for speed, I can easily shoot everything from 18m to 90m with same sight extension and bar elevation. Ive shot the limbs about an year and a bit more that 30k shots now.
