Had a look at the 2007 Easton catalogue today the Nav FMJ`s are in there in all their glory, they are heavier than normal navs same wgt as acc`s i think it was so guess that puts them out of the running ordered new limbs Border TXG`s 66" 40#, once i`ve settled them in will sort out new arrows
hmmm ACE`s or Nav`s

I have shot the G3's they are good. The Winacts are good, The Winex are for me...better. Foam and carbon perform well. How long they last is another matter.

I shoot winex at the moment 70/32, lovely limbs does exactly what it says on the tin, but coach wants me to get borders 70/38 as the 32 winex is just a tad to light. Had a go on a set for a couple of hours during the week and im in love (again).
very smooth draw with a realy fast release, just felt very stable and solid, sounded great felt great grouped great, I WANT..

now i can get on the target at 100yrds/90m but my form suffers as i`m stretching the draw too much and loosing stability
i`m fairly confident i can up the poundage and am thinking 40#
unfortunately try before you buy doesn`t seem to be an option
i`m the only one at my club using "short" limbs however i have drawn 40# med limbs with no difficulty
and my local shop doesn`t hold any in stock and the limbs would be a special order
so the big choice is which G3`s or Border TXG`s sigh.. decisions.. decisions..
i use 38 winex limbs, which i am very happy with, but to be honest a guy at my club has a set of txgs, and they are the best limbs i ( in my opinion) have come across

they do seem to have a strong following on here
also my local dealer speaks very highly off Border limbs so as my choices where G3`s or Borders (he doesn`t stock Win&Win limbs)
and so Borders it is should pick them up wednesday
