Would have taken the Winnex, but settled on G3's. Supply problems apparently. Still, as a newbie they improved my grouping immediately.

So cash well spent... well, one child sold into slavery (Please note: I am actually joking here... I didn't sell a child, I don't condone slavery etc etc. Well you can't be too careful here. You knever know who's monitoring your posts on such a militant forum... another joke!)

Cool

Feel is a funny thing
winnex's are nice and a very good buy at the moment.
G3's feel like you are shooting with a wet fish, they obviusly do have power! they just dont feel like it.
KG Xtec's nice and firm on the draw, quick and urgent in the shot this is a brand new limb for this year and it shoots realy well.
Border TXB's simular to the Xtec's.
Both the KG and the Border limbs are also very good value at the moment, they are tillered british limbs and are equaly as quick as the winnex's.
personaly I prefer the feel of KG limbs over any syntactic foam type limb, I like the snappy and liteweight feel of the KG's.
If you have a chance to try some Borders or KG's do so before buying.
Have Fun
Nick

I would generally agree try different limbs as they do react somewhat differently in some cases.

For those who tried different limbs and found them snappy/spongy/etc - did you actually spend time getting the brace height right on each limb before making such a judgement?

I watched someone go through a range of limbs at a shop - same string,same tiller, same nock height etc, and then make a decision!! Jeez... Of course if one set is close to the sweet spot, then they'll feel the best, but most limbs will require a significant change to get the best out of them.

Bah, i like the G3's. Feel nice and smooth to me with a 31" draw length and ~42lbs on my fingers. Other limbs can feel a little bit too snappy for me.
