SF Carbon limbs

I'm thinking about some new limbs and have been looking (on the web) at the new Sebastien Flute Carbon ones, which Custom have going for £169 - seriously cheaper than the opposition! Haws anybody tried them? Any feedback on what they're like?

Not had the opportunity to shoot them, but i've drawn them on a friends bow and they were very smooth - moreso than my FX's which are about the same poundage. That was only up to 29in though.

I've drawn them on a Hoyt Helix. They are very nice and smooth out to 31.5", which used to be very uncommon for W&W-made limbs. Obviously they've finally got it right now and are tailoring their limbs more for the Western market.
I recommended a friend get some and he couldn't be happier. Others at the club are also jealous of them. For the money, they probably can't be beaten.

Hi Thunk
Hi

I bought an SF bow as a second setup for indoor.

The limbs are really smooth, actually seem to be rebadged WW Everest Pros, why pay £240?

Hi Thunk,

Shooting them on a SF riser. Absolutely fantastic!! I couldn't justify spending £320 on a pair of G3's so to find a pair of carbon foam limbs that are smoother to draw and more forgiving than any carbon wood limb I've tried for £165 made me very happy.

Did try the G3's as well but couldn't personally find £155 worth of difference.

I am considering the purchase of these limbs and would like to know a little bit more about them, if anyone has an opinion or first hand knowledge of them.

Can they really be rebadged WW Everest Pros at 70% of the price or are there fundamental differences? My other choice could be WW Winacts at £188 from Archery World. Does anyone have experience of either or ideally both of these limbs and what is your opinion on the best choice?

My bow is 70" and I have a 30" draw length so I'm probably looking at 34lbs or 36lbs limbs to give a weight at my fingers of 38lbs or 40lbs. I could then adujust them up another 2lbs, if needed, at a later date.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me
