Carbon

I thank first for reply.
I shoot with Hoyt GM, GM limbs, nearly 15 years old. I am quite satisfied.
If we exclude outdoor and stay indoor, in which way are Carbon limbs better?
Do carbon limbs have better precision? Do this limbs forgive more release errors?

limbs containing carbon are generally faster than wood/fibre glass limbs and so provide a faster "cast", the top of the range carbon limbs are constructed with foam and carbon and the different makes have different qualities, i can only offer a comparism of my 2 sets of limbs i have owned :-)
1st were wood/fibre glass and worked well enough for indoors
2nd are wood/carbon and are quite effective for indoor and outdoor they gave me extra range and weren`t as expensive as foam/carbon limbs
i am intending to upgrade to foam/carbon limbs next year as these are more weather resilent

Win & Win Winex

Do You know: are perhaps Win & Win Winex limbs the same or copy of Hoyt G3 ?
Perhaps Hoyt lets produce this limbs by W&W.
This two lims seem me to be the same-

they`re similar but not the same
i guess you could say they are both variations on a theme
much like Ferarri and Lambourghini

W&W limbs follow Border designs more closely than Hoyt designs. This can be easily seen by comparing the curve of the limbs and the advertising.

The materials are a different matter. Just getting a set of limbs by one company and pulling them apart won't necessarily tell you what they're made of. Each company has their own methods and materials.

Win & Win Winex

Would You trust more to Win & Win Winex limbs or Hoyt G3 limbs?

Either. I've heard reports of both breaking, but then all makes of limbs break sometimes. If I had to choose between only these two I'd probably go for Winex, but that's only because they follow the Border design, which I prefer.

I was looking after Border bows,http://www.borderbows.com/, and as far as I saw, there is no similarity with W&W Winex limbs at all. Besides, Border bows are quite special technology, with wooden risers. The limbs are not in look like W&W at all. Perhaps You made mistake with some other firm.
