So the VX is a new design of Carbon laminate, Yes?

A development of HeX4, is named hex 5.
I am traditional bower and use now hex 4. The best that I fired until now.

The hex4 has had the TX40 laminate. Along with all our "Black" Bows
We have introduced our CXC laminate to add some more stability to the hex5 to make it a fully fledged Target limb. This CXC laminate has been run across the board.
The hex4 and 5 are and the TXG have the same CXC constrution, its the recurve shapes that are different. This adds to the performance. The VX carbon is a component that is different to the CXC.

The Hex4 and 5 are not conventional recurves, but the laminates are getting better than the older TX40 found on hex4, TXG and TXB limbs. At the time of the HEX4 being out top limb we had the XP10 and XP30 limbs which were glass limbs. The laminate on the hex4 gave it the smoothness of shot, and the recurve shape gave it the smoothness of draw. Combine the two and you have a very smooth bow. The hex5 is more advanced, but the CXC also adds to this.

Sound like the limbs I ordered (HEX5 hunter with the Vx option) is worth waiting for.
By the way, my old, but not trusty, woodcore WinAct limbs, finally died yesterday.
I suppose I had i coming. As I have been abusing them for years, by subjecting them to my +31" draw.
(not that I'm overly tall, I just seem to be burdened by the arms of an orangutang...)

Welcome to AIUK forum. The usual greeting to new comers is

I spot the odd new person every now and again...

We just wish we could get back up to date and back to our 12-14 week normal delivery date, We are putting in overtime, and have some new guys with another one to start in a weeks time.

Hi BorderBows
Not to worry! I can wait.
A clubmate lent me his 70" Hoyt G3 limbs, fully aware of the perrils.
He was actually seeing the lower limb twist as the woodcore gave in.
Told me I could use them until my new border limbs arrived
He deserves a crate of beer for that, I think...

Have you tried our old TXG, or TXBs?

Is there a 'new' TXG and TXB, or are these now 'old' as in replaced? Just curious.

Same limb so same stored energy, Just different power laminates, giving a lighter mass and stiffer limb than before. This should tighten left/right grouping, and give about 2-3 fps speed gain over TX40 laminates on average.

Sounds good. I was curious as I've recently ordered a pair of TXB's so any information peaks my curiosity.
