FAQ

Does a profit on bow sight scale mark correspond to a speed profit when we compare two limbs pairs ?

Not necessarily: the bow sight scale mark depends primarily on the archer's morphology and the position of the nock point compared to the riser with the maximum draw length.

According to the way in which the two limbs top and bottom work, the height of this nock locator may vary.

None of the traditional adjustments (brace height, tiller) are made at the maximum draw length, so there is no reason that the nock point height will be the same when at maximum draw length.

To do a comparative speed test, we know of two methods:

• Use a chronograph.
• Compare the bow sight scale mark at 70m and at 10m: the smaller the variation, the higher the speed.

When the bow is correctly set up, the noise is very short and quiet, a bit like a silenced gun. The limbs will stop at once with very few oscillations.

If this is not the case:

• Check that the tiller screws are between medium and max settings, with tighter being better.
• Check that brace height is set at what we advise in the "Tuning" section.
• Use a string made of BCY 8125 or Astroflight; other brands work, but those two work especially well.
• Last and very important, use a quality stabilizer with a good dampener and a mass at the end.

The tip is an integral part of the limb’s structure, so ours is very strong. Moreover, ours is very compact and elliptical for better aerodynamics, and a lower inertia.

Our limb tip’s shape has been researched to preserve your string serving: we have maintained a string after an endurance test of 30,000 cycles at a 35" draw length.

Grouping
A longer bow improves lateral stability and grouping.

Comfort
A wider string angle gives better hook consistency.

Smoothness
Longer bows are smoother for a longer draw length.

Adapting bow size to your drawlength

Bow size is linked to your AMO draw length*. 66" to 70" bows for archers having a draw length in the range 27" to 29".

If your draw length is 30", 31" or more, a 72" or a 74" bow will give you better results.

Carbon Monolith

Thanks to our unique Carbon Monolith technology, providing unmatched torsion stiffness and lateral stability, it is possible to design XL limbs without sacrificing lateral stability or speed.

Our limbs are designed to provide the best performances in the -5%/+5% range of tiller bolts settings.

With a +15% setting:

• You will lose much smoothness.
• You will lose in terms of stored energy efficiency: the speed increase brought by the added poundage will be lower than expected.
• The stress increase on the limbs will exceed 10%, corresponding to 5 inches of over-draw, with a risk of early failure and accelerated aging. 

We consider such a configuration to be out of normal use conditions, and therefore it is not covered by our guarantee.
