Core Archery HIT Wooden Limbs are the black version of Pulse limbs. They will fit Core HIT and Pulse risers, as well as Cartel Triple, Samick Sage and other screw-down limb risers.
- The Bow AMO Size is the total size of the bow once limbs are attached to your riser
- Each pair of HIT limbs fit risers of different lengths, creating bows of different sizes
- Standard Bow Riser size 24", displaying as the numbers without brackets
- All weights and sizes in brackets assume use of a shorter 20" riser
- Risers smaller than 20 inches are available on only a select few bows and are often used for youth, such as 15 and 18 inches. Bow AMO Sizes less than 62" will often use these shorter risers
I took a Stave that had Core Archery BLAZE limbs that were 14/16 lbs. Replaced it with the HIT 32/34 lbs limbs and is amazing.
I am very happy with these limbs. They perform very well. Exactly what I needed. Customer service was also excellent.
I got 26 pound ones and they worked fantastically with my OMP riser. Love them
Good value limbs that fit my PSE nighthawk riser perfectly.
My daughter started out with #16 limbs on her Sage to start. As she grows and gets stronger she’s going to be going through limbs several times. These limbs totally fit the bill. No complaints, well made and at a much lower price.
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.
All special orders are treated with priority. Outside of larger items such as bows, many special order items are on a consistent stocking basis. General turn around due to pandemic backorders is at least 8 weeks depending on manufacturer lead times.
Some bows such as custom target bows and top shelf traditional recurve bows are on a made to order basis directly from the manufacturer.
Some left handed products such as high end target equipment can also experience unforseen delays due to manufacturer batch production.
We make every effort to meet the deadlines set above. Sometimes due to issues out of our control we are unable to accomplish this. We will make every effort to remedy the situation if that is the case.
