I did try sx50s. So smooth and fast...had to stop before I got attached.
"The best limb I have ever shot"
Lets hear it.......
Or Bow...if you aren't an ILF guy....
I have a soft spot for the Uukha Vx's .........though I know a lot of them had problems

Border Hex6 were my favorites, at least in recent memory. The speed and draw cycle were great. I have very fond memories of my old W&W Synerzy, but that was awhile ago.

possibly the Samick Agulla Ultras I had from Kasey, or a similar set of MASTERs I had for a while, but I also had some Extreme BFs that were better than all the rest.
Oldie but goodie,wish I kept QUINN stallion
THE LIST haha - I've also really REALLY liked Hoyt Gold Medalist Carbon Plus, SKY CONQUEST, SKY JACKs, Winex, and SF Ultimate Pro. I have 7 or 8 qualifiers for BEST. 
how to pick ONE?
how to pick ONE?Uukha Gobi - if its good enough for Tom Clum Sr., its good enough for me.
Seriously, the Gobis’ are 5 pounds lighter than my previous limbs but shoot the same arrows, only fatser and flatter. Had no problens keeping up w/ a very strong archer at a recent 3D shoot, including all of the distance shots. No more sore shoulders, I’m able to hold and draw through a reasonable shot sequence w/out shaking arms, and I am able to work on improving my shooting, including experimenting w/ a fixed crawl - something that eluded me w/ my previous set-up.

I’m an old school winex guy, they check all the boxes for me at an excellent price…I’ve had a few pair of uukhas, they where nice, inno primes are sweet as well.
Cheers. I quite it stiff at the back of the draw, but not too much so. What I don't care for is a heap of preload to buy slop at the back end, nor a 'hill' mid cycle. Each to their own I guess.Remote: zest are much stiffer on back end than Nika. I’m going off what others have said comparing them to win win nsg which have a decent back wall.
Like you I have a long draw, so this shifts me in the market a bit.
me too Jordan, I have 2 sets of 2005-ish WINEX and none of the others on my list. SO I could go with WINEX for my BEST.
ALTHOUGH for as title of thread "best limbs I have ever shot" goes - - for me - - maybe it was magical, THE riser I had them on, or THE time I had them, and my personal shooting AT THE TIME, but for a few months THE BEST LIMBS I ever shot was A UNIQUE PARTICULAR SET OF SF Ultimate PRO 40-LONGs that Dave Lamoreaux and I traded back n forth over 2-3-4 years, and he finally sold them to another friend of his.
I would buy THAT SET back today in a heartbeat.
I did have ? 5 or 6 more sets of SF UP 40#ers that paled in comparison, still good limbs, but THAT ONE SET was the "best limbs I ever shot".

The ultimate pros outshot all other companies flagship limbs even win and wins own and they were only mid priced. It was reviewed in a French magazine or website and they had them withdraw the article.
I have a set of W&W NS-G that I would have to call the best I've shot.
I would love to try some MXT-10s just as a few others here have mentioned that they would like to.
I really like the old Winex limbs also

I have mxt 10 and nsg same weight on the fingers with my target setups . Both are 40longs. On the same riser nsg are 4-6lbs lighter at 31.5”. Mxt is faster and slightly smoother at the back end. Mxt 10 is also more preload and more over all work than the nsg. They have to be the coolest looking limbs ever made. Mxt10 is really a beauty.
I make them end up the same weight by putting the smoother mxt10 on a 25” riser or on my uukha 27” which acts like a 25.5” riser not a 27” and then I turn the limb bolts in to max. Note: you typically can’t max load the bolts with nsg or mxt10 or you’ll contact the limb butt overlays on the face of the limbs. Floating limb caps like on the uukha Xpro (and others) let you turn them in farther without contacting the overlay material. This can’t turn the limb bolts in past about 1/2 to 3/4 is good to know when trying to figure out weight otf if your riser doesn’t have floating limb bolt caps.
I’ll put them on same riser and same limb bolt position for direct comparison of weights when I have bows in hand. I think I even found my chronograph!

Mkmx are between nsg and mxt 10 in feel and performance but even more quiet and lower vibe. I wish they made that exact limb in wood core. I might be talking myself into another pair in heavier weight if I can find some used.
I like the commentary….list and compare away…..
Its very helpful to hear from guys comparing the various limbs.
I’ve only shot the Border hexs a few shots…and I really like a fast bow…but I didn’t like the after the shot feel of those…. which is surprising because I think speed is important And I thought I would be willing to give up more to get the speed but I guess not.
I think this is going to spur me into pulling out my old WW Innos from about 2007….those were great limbs. I started buying set after set …and haven’t shot then in a decade. I need to pull those out.

You guys that like the MXT’s….are those the wood or foam core?
If anyone has shot both MXTs, can you please describe the difference.
Are the MXTs faster than the royal cross carbons?

I also like winnex. I just wanted to try fancier. I can’t shoot any of them better than winnex. I also forgot about inno ex prime (wood core) another really good one overall package. The older ones in gloss sparkle white were really nice. They came in matte but are impossible to find. Fwiw you can still get them they are relabeled cx7 and the gray looks pretty cool in person.
Mxt-10 has more recurve than new mxt and nsg. I have the wood mxt-10. Foam is 2fps or 1 lb equivalent faster than wood from what I’ve seen in others review. Interestingly win and win says the nsg are faster than mxt10 but I don’t see that and have seen reviews stating the same. Win and win also says the mxt 10 has less vibration than nsg, again not in my view. I wonder if they mixed up the charts.
I have a set of TradTech BF’s extreme’s . Had them since 2008 and they are still going strong . Always seem to go back to them , SKY’s a close second
