Our problems...

Can I have a "p" please bob

But seriously after looking at the diagram and key this is the first time ever that I have fully understood your product range.

This would give a starting point to narrow down the options at least.

We are thinking of a two way search, you can look at technologies, and find products by this, or find a product range and show what technologies are in it.

This technology range also applies to our Black Douglas bows. We were looking at Field/target option, but bare bow runs though the middle!

What dose the extra stiffness do to the life span of limbs as this has to be a factor in buying a set of limbs.
ps i shoot a set of xp10s and love them but as they are getting a bit old i think i should invest in a new set of boarders hex5 possibly

material choice, quality, and design add to the life of the limbs. Stability is something else. Stability adds at the accuracy of the limbs, but if the limbs are a good "vintage" then they can be used for years! Still performing to sufficent standards, even with the advent of new technologies. Take the ML2 Limbs. Still holding there own, for about 6-7 years.

If you can find a fast stiff limb, then its got to be a winner for you.
We think that all foams crush over time, bubble by bubble. Take your car seat or bed mattress. They go flat over time. We dont use a foam. Our core is a solid material. It has shown no degradation over time, though proof is in the pudding!
the ML2 has our Hyperflex core, and no one has said its gone flat.

This subject reminds me of when Easton came to show off the new ACE's. At the end they asked for questions and mine was: What next? I was shooting XX75's and had saved up for the new Carbon's and suddenly....they were out of date.
The subject with Limbs is quite interesting, as history shows they have come a long way. along with all the other equipment advances.
My comment would be, that we rely on the likes of you people at Border, for the modern technology that allows us to advance and better the scores.
The problem on this subject lies in how much time one can spare to practice.
By this I mean; If Border were to bring out the new limbs and chose to go for speed rather than the stability, I think that the inexperienced archer would be tempted at the idea of the arrow being in flight for shorter time and the fact that the sights will be better. Even though the critical factor can disadvantage the gains, beginners seem to be pulled in by the technology of the equipment before they have even reached 60 yards.
The likes of experienced archers i.e GMB's MB's are shooting a standard, where, the advanced technology of speed will probably be benefit to them, but this is because they will have less chance of suffering the disadvantages in the stability of the bow.
Whether it would be possible for Border to introduce the choice I don't know, we'll just wait and see.............

as we (all here) have said, and i think everyone agrees, Speed can be a killer. If you sacrifice stability.
What border beleive: top archers can shoot broom sticks well, but its the folks with a bad loose, or beginners with not such a tight form, should benefit from stiffer limbs. The Stiffer limb will pull/push the string into line quicker, pushing the torque generated into the stabiliser though the handle. This process would work more, and more often on those with lesser form?
We think top archers gain marginally on scores from good limbs. but there have been customers commenting on substantial gains due to the better limbs they have, as they have choosen to go from "beginner" kit to top line limbs.

We are not planning on scrificing stability. We are wondering to either add more, or add speed. Maintaining what we have... If you see the bob munkhouse style diagram you can see we are adding choice, and have got a standard, from which you can improve on, in most aspects of performance.

Quiter
Smoother
faster
more stable.

We have even tried to lower the bracing height of our limbs in the hex range to give a longer power stroke to your shot. So far it appears those with the hex4 limbs have been using about 1/2 inch less.

If you are needing a guinea pig for any of your limbs , i suppose i could help

[rusty craine]

I am a string walker. I even hunt string walking and I hunt alot. The thing is a like a 21" riser for my 28" draw. This means I ask for a lot of stablility out of a limb since I am drawing and release the limb under the arrow nocking point from a tree stand, pop up blind, or ground blind. That means I might not be in the best form or body position. I will take all the lateral stability at of a limb I can get. I have a real thing for the TXG's.....60% more OOoooooo Yeeeeessssssss! please.

Shame that I, as a professional web developer, can't make limbs/bows as good as yours from HTML!

We should swap

Hi, I heard there are problems with the HEX-V limbs. Is this true? I can purchase such limbs for my BD and want to know if it is a good choice. Thanks
