You really can’t go wrong with these limbs. They do the job admirably, smoothly and reliably. The aesthetics, fit and finish are also excellent. Just two very small things to watch out for, both are “fit” related. If you have a WIAWIS riser, as I do, their limb bolts are .05” inches thicker that almost all other risers. So some very light sanding of the limb pockets may be required to get that “click” into an out of position and not needing 4 people to pull them off the riser. The second is the limb tips, they are just little too short for the standard bow string puller caps, so you will have an interesting time try to slide your string up over the limb saddle (it’s covered by the cap, so you can’t). The cure is either some paper towel in your cap OR you can 3D print a shallower cap (guess what I did). Other than that, these are really great limbs. They shoot more like foam than wood, but at the price, they are a more than a thumbs up!
what can I say, great limbs for my first limbs
Bow sizing based on archer's height for Olympic Recurve
Olympic Recurve bows typically range in overall size from 66" to 70". Below is a rough guideline for new archers getting started in the sport.
- 5'5" or shorter = 66" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 68" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 70" bow
The Height of a modern Olympic Recurve bow is dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. Combining long limbs with two different size risers will result in two different size bows. The typical Olympic riser size is either 23, 25" and 27".
Bow sizing based on archer's Draw Length for Traditional Takedown
Please note, traditional recurve draw length is typically shorter than compound. If transitioning always scale down at least half an inch for draw length.
For Adults
- 5'5" or shorter = 60" - 62" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 62" - 66" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 66" - 68" plus, bow
These are rough guidelines for new archers so they get the most out of their new traditional equipment. For some takedown bows limb length is not a choice. After some experience you may find you like longer or shorter limbs.
The Height of traditional takedown bows will often be dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. A 58" bow for example can be made up of any combination of limb and riser size that creates an overall length of 58".
Traditional Takedown bows can come in sizes anywhere from 52" all the way up to 70". Bows that are longer in length are typically used in tournament situations while bows shorter in total length are used for hunting.
Age and Experience guideline
- 14 years old or younger = poundage should be the as their age. Example 12 years old should be shooting 12# bow.
- 18 to 14 years old = 16# to 20# depending on body build and height
- Adult: Beginner = under 20#, Intermediate 22# to 28#, Advanced with experience = 30# and up.
