Alternative Exact Shoot Through w Barnsdale Limbs

Would appreciate some input

the logic seems sound and it appears the least compromised of the designs I've looked at recently

Anyone have any experience with these bows?

What level of support is available given Alts rep for responsiveness?

Any thoughts on resale value as well pls

I have shot this riser for 4 years and the limbs since they came out. What can I say it is easy to set up as it is true centre vertically and horizontally and with the twin cams and the barnsdale limbs quick enough (270fps at 26.5 inch draw length for me) even though it is not tremendously deflex. It is light but very very stiff (slow motion videos done in beiter centre showed no riser flex) and is adaptive to whatever the archer wants. It is a bow that has been shot well by some good archers including Sam Stretton and Andy Ward who both achieved GB number 1 rankings with it. The cable rule was a headache for a season but with a more logical interpretation now in place it removes the only issue with the bow
For more info personal message me

If you want some thing without a cable guide on the back that has a true shoot through design without all the hassel of twin strings and getting your fletches through the middle of them, get an Oneida.

shoot through compound

You may think I am biased as we CENTRESHOT sell Martin bows but they DO do a true shoot through system,and are exceptionally good bows. I shoot one and have done for the past 4 years. Previously I was a Hoyt fan from recurve to compound , but I was persuaded to try a Martin (Phantom 2 shoot through, at the time) I shot both bows back to back one afternoon, they were set up as near as I could the same. shooting at 80 yds there was no contest the Martin bow gave me much tighter grouping.Although at the time a little noisy but with limbsavers it was just as quiet as the hoyt. At that time I was just petering on the edge of MB (Ladies Fita 1272) couldnt quite make it. by the end of the outdoor season I had made MB and shot my first 1300. the following year made GMB my top scores to date fita 1335 and Hereford 1265 so as you can see I am hooked on Martin . They are well balanced they are a very steady bow in the hand.,so gives you good groups, at the end of the day thats what we all want, eh!
If you want to know more about the shoot through system give us a bell.

15-all.

I wouldn't know, I've never shot one that was anywhere near the right draw length for me. It's a nice concept but I'm not personally convinced it's one worth pursuing.

At the end of the day, any bow that costs more than £100 quid will produce a good score in the right hands, so you might as well buy something you like the look of.
