I would like to see pictures of setups with N3 and C1 limbs on them. Especially strung side profile.

Gene, could u tell where they were sent from? I had so much tape on my box that I could hardly make out the word Nika.

Will do, as soon as I get a chance to look at the box again.

Probably just some logistics handler in HK, for products home tagged at the factory on the mainland (Shenzhen). Nika seem to have a pre-stocked warehouse full of the things in HK, as @Supraspinatus hints at.

Thanks Gene. Mine got here in 5 days so I figured they must have a stash somewhere but it said something about customs so I wasn't sure if it was Hong Kong or Canada. I will post more info in the future when the temp isn't 15* for a high😒.

I got rid of the triceratops username & made life simpler by going with my YouTube name josephtreadlightly.
Brook Valley Life just posted a new video in the last 24 hours. Nika gifted him a nice care package. He now has a new set of Nika C2 limbs for shooting 18M & a few other target accessories with a very nice carbon collapsible bow stand. He said in the video that Nika has warehouses in both Hong Kong & the US.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to order these C2 limbs so I can keep each of my D97 strings with a set of limbs.

Not many pictures, so here are mine: Nika N3 on Border Tempest 25” - preparing the setup for field while still indoor. I can shoot up to 45m when people are not in.

I really like that no decal look. U should checkout that newest Brook Valley Life video on YouTube. Nika Archery sure gave him a very nice collapsible Carbon bow holder.

Those are the "small bull" limbs - little decals near the riser, front and back. Those are now available in Medium and Long without having to make special request.

I’m going to add this to the Nika database.
I ordered my small logo long 50 pounders directly from Nika, took about 2- 21/2 weeks.
I just got them today. Adjusting the one bolt for even tiller they scaled at 60 pounds at my draw length which is 30 1/2 inches, its a 19” riser.

I backed them down to 57 which is heavier than I normally shoot and I was already tired from shooting.
My normal 3/4” gap at 20 had my arrows high. This is my second round ever with these with a smaller gap about 1/2”- 3/8”
Working animal Terrestrial plant Soil Terrestrial animal Electric blue



I can’t say these are any faster than my Uukhas.
The thing I notice most is how dead they are when returning to brace-almost zero vibration, super quiet probably even quieter than my Uukhas ( and that was at a lower bh 7 3/8”)
Nice limb

To add, those arrows are 31.25” Axis 340s with 75g/100g taw 507g. You can tell by the bare shaft that these limbs like that arrow. Nok at 1/4”

Congrats. Yep they're great hunting limbs for that reason. Quiet yet kind of machine-like. A to B and stop, sort of thing. IIRC John JC said they're only a few fps faster than the SX50s, so probably not noticeable without a chrono. At a certain point it stops mattering anyway. SX50s are great limbs for their own reasons.

Nocking point that low your bareshafts like them alright.

I have some Selenghas in the same weight coming eventually…. I will have to break out the chronograph when I get them.

Yeah, please do that.

Which 19" riser r u using & is it all wood? I'm having a little problem with my top limb bolt right now on my 19" riser. Looking to get something b4 my Nika C1 limbs arrive. I really like my N3 44 lb. medium limbs. Every bare shaft I shot hit my hard target square.👍

Also will have my chrono with me soon and will do some time trials. Currently looking into a DIY shooting machine to take the human out of the picture. No Uukhas here though. Would be very surprised if the N3's are faster than the famed Selenghas - those big horns. Close perhaps

Shooting machine. Good man! Aside from the obvious research utility, it would be cool to try to compete with the machine, which would drive toward the "perfect release". I've read that finger releases are 5-10 fps slower than machines. It would be cool to attain a "-5 fps release."

Minus 5 release = free energy

The trick is the you'd have to govern your draw length, else your cunning nervous system would have you subtly pulling to your ear to get the couple extra fps to beat the machine.
