TXG's or HEX's?

[Mistake]

I've been toying with the idea of increasing the poundage of my bow.. and after shooting a set of 40lbs Border limbs (can't remember what limb make they where) i am almost certain that the limbs i will be getting will be borders.

This brings me to my question about weither i should buy a set of TXG or HEX IV/ V limbs, as i have little knowledge about the differant limb charicteristics.

I'm basically looking for limbs that are a good balance between smoothness, stability and speed (though... with 44lbs speed isn't as big an issue as the other two (even though i know that Border limbs are fast anyway))

My current set up is:

Hoyt Axis
Long Winnex limbs (with axis conversions) 40lb, drawing to just under 44
16 strand Dyneema string

Indoor arrows: 29" 2312 X7's
Outdor arrows: 29" 570 ACE


Thanks in advance

Each have their own merits, as I'm sure someone will be along to tell you shortly.

However, I went for HexVs because 1) they are smooth 2) the gadget factor. Now I just have to contain my excitement until they're ready...

Al (wrexham exile) has shot both, maybe worth dropping him a PM.

Yes... but how much are HexV's?

You might also want to consider availability, i.e. check what border has available for immediate sale. I've been waiting 6 months for my Hex V's now, while there seems to be a fair stock of TXG's.

£513 is the most you'll pay, I think. You must be thinking of gold plated Wiis!

shhh i want a wii!


rhodri - you may find that the txg's are similar to your winnex's as they are a very similar limb. however the hex5 is a different beast.

if your changing limb because you want higher poundage either would be a good choice.

if you want higher poundage and a limb "upgrade" then the HEX5's would be the choice i would go for (if your student loan will cover them). maybe it was new toy syndrome but my txg's felt quite ordinary after trying those....

(of course best people to speak to would be border themselves)
