A wood heart wrapped in a layer of carbon, these limbs were designed with traditional and technology by Win & Win. Combined with the Black Wolf riser, these limbs offer impressive speeds are fantastic stability.
I bought this paire of win and win black wolf to fit on my win and win black elk barebow riser.The quality is amazing it fit well on my riser and i love the carbon finish.
Light and supple, these limbs draw smoothly and pack a good punch. My 45#'s on a 17" riser measure 48.5# at 28". Needed a bit of adjustment to bring in to my draw weight. I draw just over 27" but these limbs hurl my 320 grain arrows at close to 210 kph (>190 fps). Downside is that arrows get really stuck when I missed and shot the wooden frame!
The 62” Black Wolf limbs are very well built and come with protective sleeves. Performance wise, they are very smooth to draw - no sign of stacking at 29” draw length, and they are very fast. I shoot carbon fibre arrows with 400 spine and 125 grain tip - the total weight is 478 grains (or 31g). And the #45 limbs are able to propel my arrows to over 195 FPS!
top notch service, shipped immediately. really like the limbs i purchased. would consider a set in 50lbs as well
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.
