Re: New Limbs

Hi Troy

The limbs are the EX1's they are the 25% carbon jobs not the top of the range. Shot them this morning and was quite pleased, they feel smooth to draw and I certainly don’t get the bow wobble I had with the black max's. Bow was noticeably quieter as well, even at the 5m string crawl.

From the fox bopw web site “The Triple Crown design exceeds all expectations of a serious tournament shooter period. The trick has always b...

Hey Mark

Re: Okay...What Is It About the Longbow..?

I have a love hate relationship with my longbow, many a time fellow tradies at Lilydale will here the lament “stinking longbow” mumbled in frustration. An like you I can shoot better with the recurve but the longbow keeps calling me back. Personally I believe its is possessed by Beelzebub :shock:
