Ask someone to check but if you can't get them in either way around, something is amiss. Something certainly doesn't sound right.

I think the issue is that the limbs aren't marked top/bottom or upper/lower rather than they don't fit. The bow does go together...or did the one and only time I saw it..

Think one issue has spawned another one here. Get someone to check as it's very unusual for something like that to happen and unusual=amiss. Probably not fatal though - at the end of the day, there's always ebay.

I once shot a PB with my limbs upside down...

In terms of which limbs are which, there's often some horizontal writing on the limbs which reads normally when the limbs are on the right way. It used to be the case that there was no writing on the back of the top limb, but that seems to no longer be a requirement.

Yes done this more than once, noticing after sighters or half way through competition. The other annoying think you can do is put the sting on upside down ... but that you usually notice quite quickly.

i've done the upsidedown limbs before, but my latest in stupidity was this weekend, 1st day string upside down and didn't notice until i stepped up to the line, then 2nd day stepped up to the line and noticed lack of button, the guy shooting in front of me laughed (i did know him so that was okay)

This thread has progressed on from it's original Fonz appeal, but we'll go with it.

Here are a few snaps of my limbs so you can see for yourself. I put *winner* on the top and *striker* on the bottom.

And I was wrong...both limbs fit in both pockets, but one way around is *much* more difficult than the other. That's probably why I assumed they'd only fit in one way.

No, that's just camera distortion. I have them right here and have checked them. They are identical.

Winner is curved down, Striker is curving up.
