I dont think scores and equipment correlate. Sometimes its just nice to have nice things, if you can afford it then buy it.

Or, to look at W&W stuff under another name, look at the Sebastian Flute range.

Having had a quick play with my girlfriend's limbs (the foam ones - 36# 68" and 165 quid from a shop) the things don't even begin to stack at 32". Bloody nice.

Just to prove that we're a consistent bunch:
  • The limbs will be worth points (a few) if they're better quality than the ones you started with. The riser might be needed for colour coordination, but almost any riser is going to be good enough (cue list of excpetions from archers with a view on particular models).
  • Stabilisers might be worth a few points, but again, only if you've started off at the basement level.
  • Arrows - worth a few points too, if you're significantly upgrading.

Tuning & practice, practice, practice - worth more than a few points

I've had a tool with the SF Limbs - exceptionally smooth. Moreso than my FX's...Would love to shoot them.

What did I say!

I'm happy with either opinion, I've not tried to compare - like all archers I change everything at once & then attribute the change to the number of £ that leave me wallet.
