Have a bit of a weird fit compared to my old sf limbs but they work and are a nice cheap way to up the poundage.
These limbs have stunningly good looks. The colourful glossy finishing is just pure eye candy. They came with relatively thick protective logo-lized fabric sleeves with velcro closures.
Initial try-on actually failed. I tried mounting the limbs onto three different ILF risers that I have. The U openings, that goes onto the limb bolts, fall short on the required width and are not well finished. The limbs would not fit onto any of the three risers. Careful filing on the opening of the U's is required on both limbs to make them fit onto any of the three risers.
I moved onto initial setup with the U's fitting properly. I have the bow strung with the brace height set to 7 7/8" on the 19 inch riser, the 36lb rated for 68@25H turned out to be 41.x lbs @ 28" draw.
These limbs are fairly light and are very lively on release. The draw is smooth and consistent without any stacking. The limb mass is on the lighter side. Without any silencers, they do a normal moderate after-shot buzz with an 19 inch all aluminum riser. Adding silicon bowstring silencers effectively dampens the buzz.
These limbs are very impressive except for the fitting of the U's. The manufacturer should have tighter QA to ensure a universal fit on any ILF risers. Potential online buyers of these limbs should be aware of the need for some DIY required on the U's. One star deducted for this. Otherwise, buy them in store and have them do the correction to ensure that the limbs will mount.
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.
