I wish somebody would want to sell their old Hex limbs to get some 7's. I might splurge for some 6.5's but I'm not in the market for 7's at that price.

Ex1s are not cutting it anymore [emoji12]. Just kidding. I share your insatiable appetite ( well, at least mine) to try different limbs. Someone was selling hex6s on the trading blanket recently I think. Innoxmax/hex6 combo??

My Ex1's are mediums and dedicated to my hunting bow.
Those Hex limbs are mediums and too heavy. I have a 29.75"dl and think I need longs........

While I haven't reached the legendary status of some of the limb aficionados here I have experimented with a lot of the entry to mid-range limbs out there in the past three years. I have yet to see any that just turned me off from the get-go, actually some of the low end limbs shoot surprisingly well these days and with almost the same chrono numbers I've seen from some of the ones that cost twice as much.

That being said, would I love to have/try some of the top super-curve limbs out there? Absodoggonelutely!!

Magic body control coming to a mid priced car near you soon...

Personally I really like being part of and supporting efforts that are trying to lead the way in innovation for better performance.

I can't afford Wilson Alexandria XLF speakers ($200K!) or that Mercedes with "body control" in your YT video (comments there were apt: "I'd sell a kidney for an S class" reply: "Too bad it costs 4 kidneys"). But with some sacrifices I can afford be part of innovation in archery, even though I know my skills are far behind what I can take advantage of with such equipment (though in other sports good equipment has given me confidence and inspired me to raise my game).

I feel I've reached the point of superb performance all the way around for a $300 set of Kstorms. They have already outperformed a set costing twice that much. So it's not about how much you spend, it's about what you spend it on. So the theory of you get what you pay for, does not apply to all limbs. I cannot justify 3X the amount of the Kstorms for ANY limb, but that's just my budget, and my reality check. Just with everything in life there is a positive and a negative to everything, and that includes ALL limbs. It comes down to what you are willing to accept. I do know this, if a limb feels good, has the performance you need, then spend more time at the butts than online hoping to buy more points.

I have high end and mid range and low end limbs ...
I find through scientific testing that I am amazingly crapola with any limb ...

Thanks Ben!!! I needed that!!! :lol:

In my mind just because you can measure a difference doesn't mean its a positive.
You can measure stored energy and TS, but objectively determining whether the changes made to achieve them has a negative effect on their ease of use is more challenging. I know for me the trade off isn't worth the performance.

If we really wanted to compare limbs to cars the Axiom would be a Boxter, the Premium a base 911, the Ult Pro a GT3 RS and the Hex 7 a 911 Turbo. None of them are really slouches.

Exactly Grant!...and from the numbers and DFC's I'm reading and seeing posted?...it's almost as though everything is a trade off and while there may be a little ultra expensive snack here and there?...there is no "Free Lunch"...just different tastes and flavors...and I prefer mine consistently smooth and stable.

For ME speed trumps feel etc. We shoot unmarked to distances best measured with a GPS. Problematic for me as have been known to be 25 yds off on a 20 yd shot.

Bought some used expensive speedy limbs and some new slower mid range limbs. Shoot the spendy limbs at 7.4gpp [as per manufacturers recommendation] and the mids at 5.5gpp [ manufacturer is happy].

Confidence with the cheaper limbs and lighter arrows is better and arrow speed faster. 70yd PO SWing gives me a workable gap at 80yds.

Pleased that spendy limbs were used!

Judging by the coments. There are two observations.
the low priced options are performing very well... just shows the trickle down tech is working a treat.
yhe flip side is that the top end isnt getting much investment...

Vabowdog.
Win&Wins product has always been top notch.
once they started putting cross weave in the Inno limb we knew the ILF hex limb needed to be released. Same time as David Sousa was starting to push the DAS risers.
it was because our TXG had an equal in our view. We needed something else.

The TXG has in essesnce the same construction as the extreme BF. UD carbon. Cross weave carbon. S2 Glass fiber.
This TX geometry is now the CV limb which has the hex6 laminate.
Yes. Those new limbs look good.

 

[sgrella]

I haven't shot or experienced many limbs, but my 3 favorite were Samick BF Extreme, Winex, and SF UP. All purchased for $300ish and shoot way better then me.

 

[wstrayer]

I am one of those folks that likes to tinker with different limbs, riser, and arrows.
I currently have two sets of Border Hex 6 BB2 limbs. I was not a fan of spending that much on limbs until I did.
For me, the feel of the limbs, the reduced draw weight gain over the last few inches, and the extra speed made them desirable.
There are even more expensive limbs available but I am happy with these.
Heck, I would love a set of Hex 7 H, but right now they are beyond my financial reach.
If I had a chance to get a really good buy on a set of the more expensive limbs used, I might try them.
I have found that different limbs each have a feel and set of characteristics that make them the right choice for each individual. I know some folks don't like the feel of the carbon laminated limbs and only shoot wood cores.
Nothing wrong with that at all and that is how it should be.

 

[J. Wesbrock]

At the end of the day, which limbs I shoot doesn't come down to charts, graphs, infomercials or who endorses what. It comes down to what's on my score card. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Jon Lewis]

And that's my point Jason, it's about results. If you could up your points by 20% guaranteed by spending $900 on some limbs, you would consider it. The limbs you use are in that $400 to $500 slot and having seen you shoot, do pretty well. Would you really spend double that in the questionable hopes of buying more points. Everyone should shoot what they like or can afford but never feel you're at a disadvantage because you haven't blindly bought into a top priced set of limbs, you're not. Most of this countries top archers (exc Oly) shoot limbs in the $400 to $500 price range and do ok.

Cal just averaged 9.75pnts a target, what limbs was he shooting?

 

[aroadik]

I am soooo ! happy I bought SF elite+ (favorites) and ult pros when on sale at Alt for around $200AUD a while back. With appropriate arrows I just can't justify any other setup.
Btw paired with an el cheapo 23" Mybo riser, no stab or weights, perfect...for me.

When the Ult Pro limbs were current, LAS sold them for $479 so they fit perfectly in that range.
Maybe Mr Demmer will chime in on this, he's been known to experiment with the odd limb or ten [emoji16]

I appreciate this conversation because I am in the boat of looking for limbs and wondering the trade off between price and performance for me, a back yard archer and hunter. I'm not shooting tourneys for score or anything but want a good limb for my buck. Reading on this site about what everyone is shooting can be a bit daunting.

From what I glean, I can most likely squeeze every bit it performance I am capable of out of a +/- $400 set of limbs, if I am reading your thoughts right.

That is exactly right sir.
