URGENT limb help needed

[napolienne]

I discovered last night (or rather, Wrexham Exile discovered for me) that my FX limbs are kiffed - the bottom limb is bending way more than the top one (we're talking approx 3 cm difference in tiller) no matter what adjustments I make on the riser. They do the same in someone elses riser too. Different limbs in my riser are tillered perfectly.

So, the bottom limb is on its way out. Herein lies the problem - they're not safe to shoot and I have SCAS intercounties on Sunday, a tournament which I have spent the whole outdoor season working up to.

Does ANYONE have a pair of short limbs (to make a 64" bow with a 23" riser), 38# marked weight or thereabouts that they can LEND me for Sunday? Can collect from Berks/Bucks/Oxon. I know this is incredibly cheeky, but I really can't afford to buy replacements this month.

Thanks in advance

Nat

HUGS. I feel for you, I know how important this weekend is for you. I wish I could help but I don't have anything suitable and being in cornwall..

Good luck, I'm sure there is a kind hearted person out there who can help.

Sorry to hear that, Nat, and if I could help you I would.

Don't know who you buy from normally. If they are kind, you me be able to persuade them to let you have a pair of limbs, on the understanding that you guarantee you will pay next month.... maybe evn put down a small down-payment

Worth a try anyway.

Best of luck!

sleeping on it didnt help then - i mean what to do next. not sleeping on the limb.

Sleep? What sleep?

No, it didn't.

I might be able to help you - we have a pair of short 36lbs G3 which would make 38lbs on a short riser. Can't come and give them to you, I live in Portsmouth but will be travelling up to the junction of the A34 past newbury to the junction with the m4 on Thursday evening. I will also be at SCAS (not expecting my best score as I am moving house and job atm) but of course this will give you all of 6 arrows to get sight marks...

Also I would have to have assurance that if they happen to break in your care that we could come to some arrangement... I am absolutely sure this will not happen but as they are my partners not mine I might get into trouble otherwise.

Have PM'ed you

I've a set of 34lb Evo II's and live in Bucks if that's a help, sorry but I'll be shooting my XQ's myself that day or I could offer you better...

Panic subsiding, Moo-mop is going to lend me some G3s. A real gent.

Thanks to all who've offered help (and sympathy!) - this sport would be nowhere without people like you.
