Innocarbon and Innopower

[samicko]

I have gotten my new bow set. An innocarbon riser (black with grey flames) and innopower limbs. When i set my limbs into the limb pocket with the click sound, I'm able to pull them right out. Is this the norm for the bow?

Yep - that's the norm for ILF (international limb fit). The string tension holds the limb in place with the little bobble bit (don't know the technical term for it) on the limb going into a small recess in the riser dowel. As long as there is a good strong click and you need a bit of force to remove them its fine (you shouldn't be able to just tug it lightly with two fingers to remove it).

Hmmmm.... I can.....

Lightly is quite subjective - I mean apply almost no pressure to the limb and essentially knock it out rather than pull it out.

I've experienced both ends of the spectrum... limbs that fit so tightly it takes 2 people to pull them out, to limbs that can almost 'fall out' of the pocket. My last pair of limbs (SF carbon/foam) were not very tight at all in my Nexus, very easy to extract.

So was the limbs that could "fall out" be shot when strung up?

Mine has to use a little force to pull it out, so i guess its okay? Btw, was could be the cause for the "looseness"?

My limbs were very stiff in the pockets and did not come out easily. I coated the mating areas with string wax. No problem getting them out now.

I think it's just the differences between limbs and risers. For instance SF carbon/foam in a Winact were 'tight', whereas in a Nexus they were loose by comparison. They wouldn't fall out, but the difference was certainly noticable. Before my limbs broke, I shot them without any problems at all.

As others have said, as long as they click into place, you should have no problems.

I shouldn't worry about it too much. As long as it 'clicks' in. As anyone who as shot a Spigarelli Revolution will tell you a bow does not have to have limb pockets at all.
