Green Horn limbs

[rusty craine]

What price range are the Green Horn Limbs? I picked up a used pair. The limb bolt slot was narrower than the standard ILF slot. I think these are wood/glass but not sure. there is a script "Ceram Glass" inscirbed on the botom limb. These look like they are woodcore/glass.

the limbs shoot very well. Nice thru the clicker and have good speed.

what general quality range are the Green Horn limbs?

They used to be the most expensive limbs on alt, and they use ceramics in their construction. However no-one thought there were worth as much as they were going for so there arent many around They also had a tendancy to break, but if yours have lasted this long they are probably a good pair lol

GREEN HORN ARCHERY PRODUCTS WELCOMES YOU

Rusty - Greenhorn equipment isn't common over here. It tends to be pretty expensive, and as far as I know no dealer with a showroom carries a good range of their stock.

I've shot a Greenhorn and it felt pretty good, but that was a while back now. I do know that there have been a few comments about the double-ellipse limbs delaminating. One chap (MerlinApexDylan on Archerytalk - hardly there now as he had to give up archery following an injury) bought some from a UK distributor. They delaminated in short order. The replacements were apparently very poorly finished and constructed, but the dealer refused to refund him.

However, this is only one instance of a particular limb shape, and by the sounds of it you have a normal Greenhorn limb. I'm sure the quality is up there with most of the top brands in most cases.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for info posts.

the limbs a very well finished and fit. As I commented the limb bolt slot was narrower than the standard ILF limb bolt slots.



I have a Warf Jennings riser (old 20.5" Jennings compound riser mofided by Bob Gordon to accept ILF limbs). I removed the brass shim on the limbs bolt and the Green Horn limbs fit nicely.



the limbs were marked 68" 43#@28 under that 47#@28".



Due to the limb pad angle of the Warf Jennings, the when mounted the limbs gave me 47#@28". Very smooth draw. Nice thru the under arrow clicker (I shoot the bow IFAA barebow).



My first shot at 20yds using my standard 20yd string walking crawl was right on the money. The speed must be up there with my usual limbs.

Since I just gave $85 (US) for the limbs they were a very good buy for what I got. I picked up the Warf Jennings riser used for $100 (US). Really a nice kit for very little money.

The rocker on these Green Horn limbs was very flat. Kinda like the limbs were intended to be bolted down snug. I snugged up the limb bolt. The tiller ended up a bit positive. I usually shoot with an even tiller but the rig shot well for me at 3D distances.

Arrow was a Beman ICS 500 hunter, 29" with 125 field pint. I let a friend borrow my chronography to I don't have in numbers for the limbs.

On the Warf Jenning riser, the limbs gave me a 63.5" bow.
