also, come to think of it you can't really say Borders are *the best*, in the same way that you can't say Aston Martins are the best cars
that's really for a long pointless discussion about who likes which limbs,,.. oh wait....

I am merely after the best fit limbs I can get for my needs. G3's and Samicks seem to work better for the shorter draw lengths from what I have been told and are reading. That is of course unless you like a steep increase in poundage as you come to full draw, which is not my thing.

It would be interesting to hear which limbs work better in your riser, Mike. I wouldn't discount anything until you've tried it. Who knows, G3s may work wonders for you compared to another brand.

I have the almost the same draw length as you (31" arrows from nock grove to tip of pile) and have just ordered a pair of 70" 36# Inno Power limbs, simply because I have read very good things about them, and more so because I have an Inno Riser they should in theory compliment it very nicely

I'm currently using 34# Everest Pros (39.7# on fingers) and do find that they compress (stack?) near the clicker, probably due to my draw length. I should be picking the new limbs up this week so I'll let you know what difference I notice when I try them.

I'll be investing in a set of A/C/E once I've played around with the Inno limbs for a while, I thought it might be worth putting a few hundred ACC's through first just in case they need to settle in before re-measuring poundage. My ACC's should be way under spined though as they are already in the wippy side with my existing limbs so I don't expect to use them together in competitions etc.

I know that doesn't really answer your question comparing them to other limbs, but thought I'd chime in anyway.

regards

Paul.

Hey leigh, well that in itself is a problem cause I don't have an ILF riser, stylist have there own fittting so I am going to have to buy a new riser too. But rightly or wrongly I decided it would be best to find the best suited limbs first, then find a riser to match. I have use of a Matrix riser for initial testing purposes.

Ah, I see. You've got a big project behind you, then! At least you're being very methodical about it. I hope whatever you get, it takes you up to GMB quickly!

I wanto see him get to MB first....At the moment I reckon he is stealing my points! Every shoot I have been to recently he has shot better and I have shot worse.

Mike. No time to look in to the issues on my other limbs yet, so I can't give you any other feedback. I am off for 2 weeks now to California, so won't be able to do anything 'til I get back.

Hope the county match goes well.

Well for what it is worth a set of 44lb Border ML2 will quite happily lob a 31 inch long Axis FMJ (400 spine) 100yds even when shot be me. They are also very smooth on the draw.

[NoAngel]

Ok, I think another way of looking at this is to say, have you any bad things to say about the listed limbs. There are views that both Hoyt and Samick can stack at higher draw lengths, also G3 have been know to delaminate (on 70" bows).

Has anyone got anything to say against Border or W&W Inno?

[Murray]

Nothing to say against either Innos or Winex's - they just plain work. Stable. Fast. Smooth.

if you are using a Matrix to test prospective limbs on, there's something you should know. its abit complex so i hope it comes out right;

the Matrix (and perhaps the other Hoyt risers, am i right, anyone?) has abit different limb pocket geometry to W&W, Samick, KG etc. stuff

as the Matrix is adjustable +/-5%, and other stuff is +10%, a Matrix with limb-bolts wound half way in, is equevalent to another riser on its minimum setting.
therefore, you should wind your Matrix at least half way up to test limbs, or you might find that a pair of limbs that were fine on the Matrix, are not only 2lb heavier on another riser, but stack a bit too, as they are not held at such a relaxed geometry on other risers.

Of course, if you choose a Hoyt riser in the end, you wont have that problem, and you can even really take advantage of this; buy a pair of limbs 2# heavier than what you wanted, but put them on a Hoyt riser wound all the way out! it will hold the limbs in that slightly more relaxed geometry, but you will have compensated for that loss of poundage with heavier marked limbs..

am i making sense? don't worry i've tested it with electronic bowscales and stuff; the same limbs come out 2# heavier on my Ultra than on a Matrix, and stack about an inch earlier (according to my long-armed friend)

by the way, Hoyt might be lagging behind afew years in limb technology, but their risers are really good. nothing wrong with them (and they don't have paint that will chip in a stiff breeze, like the Samick stuff)

also, the more wound in your limbs, the less stable they will be; another reason to keep them wound all the way out on a Hoyt as i explained above.
