border limbs..

Have border limbs been shot at the olympics? and if so who by etc.
Border customer sevice is great but i could only get purple ones unless I waited 3 months or paid £35 to have colour changed.
I shot G3's but have now gone to winnex as they are only about 260 quid at bowsports.
That is a LOT of limb for that price and too good to miss imho

Yes they have.

Frangilli shot them in Atlanta, and it was shortly before Sydney that Border withdrew their (one and only) sponsorship arrangement with him (inherited from the previous owners).

Some of the French team shot them in Sydney as I recall. I think one of the gents set a record with them which was broken a match or two later.

But as I've said, at the top level sponsorship counts for a great deal. And you are talking about archers who shoot so well anyway they could shoot a £200 bow and achieve similar results in many circumstances.

FITA star comp. Frangilli shot in an unofficial competition for selection for Atlanta, scored 1364 in 1996 with Border carbon limbs.
