I do agree in principle Sid and obviously you have a dog in this so I understand your point of view. I have tested and shot limbs from most makers and in most price ranges and I maintain that any perceived advantage of limbs once you break the $500 barrier is so small that 99% of archers wouldn't even know it. Beyond that it just becomes a choice thing I think.

up to 600 dollars, the 2lbs per inch rule still applies.
up to 600 dollars 99% of limbs are a considerable proportion of glass in them
up to 600 dollars and you get standard Earl Hoyt Geometry in 99% of options.
no wonder you dont see much difference.
Its almost like saying i cant see any differences in these two ISO standrad products.
lets take 2 products, make them out of the same materials fromt he same suppliers..., to the same design remit, and put them on the same chassis...
Da-DAAAA.
what do ya know. same product...
now for the next fun aspect to all this.
if limbs cost 3000 dollars, there would be a billion times more innovation in them.
a prime example is mountain bikes.
2500 dollars of NOT the most expensive

there are LOTS of new start up companies.
there are lots of design ideas being tested
there are complete material changes. construction methods being turned on thier heads.
why.... cos its worth it.
now... why is target archery still using Earl Hoyts geometry?
what happened to the Wilson Borthers?
What happened to all these companies that were making target bows?
Bear?
Yamaha
Nishi?
Marksman?
where did the market driven competion go and why are we left with Hoyt VS a few Korean companies? (almost identical to the Hoyts)
Why is W&Ws website mostly to do with outsourcing carbon moulding, and why are Samick not in most dealers these days?
the Innovation seems to be drying up?
W&W seems to be diversifing.... what was the last innovation in W&Ws limbs?
