Question Best limbs sub ~180gbp?

Simple question: what are the best limbs in the mid price range? And why?

Win&Win WINACT (at bang on £180, just a fraction over budget!). Why? because they're proven and lasting technology.

W&W Winact are very highly rated by a lot of people on here. You can pick up a pair for around £150.
Failing that, Hoyt Vectors are around the same price. I believe the W&W are glass/wood and the Hoyt are carbon/foam.

How much better is something like the Winact limbs over the KAP Challenge glass/wood limbs I use?

Border sell a wood-core XP10 limb for only £168 that would probably be worth a look.

winacts are an excellent limb (carbon) they are superior to any of the other limbs mentioned in the thread so far. Having had countless sets through my hands since their inception i would say that no other limb performs beter than the winnact apart from MAYBE g3, extremes, masters and the winnacts are far cheaper
going rate for a second hand pair is £120 as alt market place will sell you a new pair for around the 150 mark.
