We compare $1000 Wiawis limbs to WNS Premium limbs $180. We shoot through a chrono to compare speed and we compare the draw of both limbs. www.archeryshop.com.au
Enjoyed your video. Just upgraded my Hoyt 840 Carbon limbs with a set of Wiawis-NS carbon limbs. They look beautiful and shoot well. Since I'm 60 yrs old, I don't know how many good yrs I have left so I'm going to enjoy my Olympic Recurve passion.
Mr Joe Average archer will probably never reach the standard where the limitations of the cheaper limbs will show. If you like what you are using, you will shoot better with it.
@@RichardBragg when I posted my comment... When I said cheaper limbs.. I wasn't talking about the super cheap 'club bow' limbs. Mr average archer doesn't use the nasty no name club limbs.
As an intermediate archer from the UK, I can honestly say that my starter wood/fibreglass SF Axiom limbs were loud and hard to draw. My Petron wood/carbons are smooth and easy to hold, despite having a higher draw weight. It was like a night and day difference.
true, ive but SF Axiom 70/38 and Hoyt 900cx 68/40, SF make me pain at shoulder muscles, but hoyt not make it, really gone. And not a question why i can hold 5-10 second full draw with my hoyt.
Currently I use limbs from Mybo. Budget limbs at £65 compared to their carbon limbs for £200 maybe when I reach my optimum poundage I might decide to splash out on the more expensive. I can imagine it's with most things. The more you spend the higher the quality. But for the level I'm at. I'll stick with the "budget" limbs.
@@chrish6734 to be honest with Covid, archery clubs were shut down and I haven't been able use my bow for over a year. I still used the Mybo Limbs on my Mybo Elite, but I bought a RCX Black, the complete kit shortly after and used that as my main bow. Could tell the difference in quality but not as forgiving when you make a mistake.
Also loved the fact that you said........looks play a big part in archery........hate to admit it but let's face it everybody loves to stand on the line with a super cool lookin bow..........of course looks don't make it shoot better but ........it is cool ☺
Try doing a more valid comparison cheap carbon vs expensive carbon. Glass is heavier so will shoot a little slower than carbon fibre ..... Don't blame the wood .. My wiawis one wood core are as fast trough the chrono as yours . ps wood cores are NOT more likely to twist ! or vary with weather .. apart from anything else they are encpasulated in epoxy resin and lacquer! Ask Border Archery they make wood and carbon core and they perform within 2 fps and the difference is purely weight of the limb . Some of us prefer the draw and feel of wood core .. and 2 fps is neither here nor there
Thanks - I have changed diet about 5 months ago. Dropped weight, I am off Asthma medication, I still have a long way to go to learn about health. Tomorrow I am trying Fasting. I dropped 2-3" from my waist.
The cheaper Limbs sounded louder, and almost rattely. There was definitely another sound, a vibration or rattle. If I heard it at the local range I'd assume you had screw in tips and they were lose. It was that kind of sound.
Hi Steven, I have been shooting since the 1970s off and on, and have always had good equipment, Starting in the 1980s with a Yamaha, then moving to a Greenhorn, and a Stylist, I now have a WNS elite alpha and due to serious medical issues, I can only shoot 20lbs! I am hoping to restore my strength, so until I get to the level I am happy with, I will stick to the premium limbs! Then when I get there I will reward myself with that beautiful Fivics EX! For all the bows I have had, I have never noticed any shooting difference other than with wood limbs, when the light goes down, you have to click the sight down!
I have to make a point here. You compare limbs that have been shot in over two years, to brand new out of the box limbs, that have NOT been shot in. You do make a fine point that the difference in speed is next to none, leaving the conclusion (for me at least), that you get very little, for the last 850 dollars.
Great review. The clickerzone is crucial. I got the premiums and a pair of fibre/foam. Both are stacking up in the zone at 28" marked 36#. Draw curve on both are like bananas in the end reaching 48# at 33" draw. It realy shows money matters to get a nice feeling in clickerzone.
From what I've read that, expensive limbs are just more linear in terms of draw weight and don't stack. So yes if you are shooting thousands of arrows a week it might be more comfortable to use the more linear limbs
Isn't the draw feel difference coming from the difference in core? Every foam core Limb I've tried has had that solid feel from the beginning, whilst the wood cores have that gradual build up. Might be interesting to test high end wood for limbs and see if they follow this trend
I shot cheap limbs when I started and now shoot hoyt carbon x tours. Honestly I noticed a huge difference in stacking. I think if your draw is in the 28" range the difference would not be big but mine being almost 31" it has made a big difference in how I shoot.
is stacking mean more draw = more pain / more weight? I've shoot SF Axiom wood/fiber and now hoyt 900cx, it really high different at 28 Draw Length. With SF i cant hold it 5 secs but with hoyt i can hold it 10secs up
if your draw cycle is not consitant the chrono is more likely giving you a reading of your inconsistancy which is affecting the arrow speed not the difference in the limb performance
As you are able, I would be interested in you doing a review on WNS Motive C5 Limbs. I would be very interested in your analysis of what you find in your review. I am using a set - Long & 30# @ 28", with a 25" Riser (WiaWis Winex)
Waltham1892 On the mental side, looks will affect your shooting performance for example you have a very good looking bow that you handpicked and think it is the best bow for you it will give you big confidence which is a part of your performance
@@mocknugget my point is, yes, your mental game does have to include confidence in your equipment, but, it's better to have that confidence based on its performance and knowing how to get the most out of it.
I broke two of this. The first was rated 40lbs broke the lower limb. Seller replace it with 42lbs but after a 100+ shots broke the upper limb. It has durability issues
I no longer buy wood core fiber limbs, since I started using bamboo core fiber limbs and unidirectional carbon bamboo core, I feel comfortable, as we know the soft flexible nature of bamboo, no stacking when draw and it is faster than wood core limbs . I use limbs from wns explore B1 and CB1 carbon bamboo..
Yes I accept that the limbs will perform better than cheap ones, but let me tell you I compete at my club and I use the cheapest limbs going, and still out shoot most others, and I shoot bare bow. no matter what limbs you use, if you can get a good group on the gold then there is no difference in performance, I suggest you stick to a mid range limb with lateral stabiliser in it to stop any twisting, spend no more as you just doo not need to.
Could you test the win&win wiawis cx7 limbs and riser it would be very intresting to see how good are cheap carbon things. Thanks and I love your videos
I don't really agree. I've never had problems with less expensive wood core limbs. In fact, I have old one piece wood core limbs from the seventies, mostly Bear, and they are the most consistent and smoothest shooters and still going strong. Of course they weren't made in China. Which may be the difference.
Hi Steven, I enjoy your video reviews very much, so thanks for taking the time and making the effort! I notice that when you release the string your fingers look to "flick" open, almost as if it`s a deliberate movement rather than just relaxing them to allow the string to pass through them which shouldn`t result in them straightening out. Do you feel your release needs some adjustment or are you happy with it?
I love your videos, but I've got to draw attention to 6:14. After I noticed the mark on your arm that wasn't there in the beginning, I had to rewind it to see if you recorded the arm hit. I've done it plenty of times myself, but I couldn't help laugh at your facial expression when your arm got slapped. That had to have stung, but you held yourself together :)
Hello. I'd still like to ask. How big of a difference there is between fiber/wood limbs vs. carbon/wood limbs? I'm torn between WNS AXIOM Alpha Fibers vs. WNS 2018 Alpha Carbons. I defininitely can't afford foam libms right now but if the carbons would be worth it I'd be willing to spend bit more. Thanks in advance.
Some people might not like apples after spending lots of money on them and would like the inputs of someone who has pears to know if pears might suit their taste before they invest in buying a pears farm. 😂
I know this is an old comment, but it is real because sport is also about sport psychology. Anything you can afford to improve your psychological state, or to allay even the slightest doubt, is an advantage, even if that's the "look" of your equipment. Of course, some people are less affected by this, and some people are more affected by this. Source: myself.

your bow needs to be tuned properly it sounds awful i dont understand how you can draw your conclusions based on the shots i have seen you make you are not shooting well enough to conclude anything regarding bow limb performance i think it would be better if you said nothing about limb performance you need to decide if you are going to shoot recurve or compound as from what i have seen you cant shoot recurve well enough to make any decisions on the quality of the equipment you are using
He sells them for a living dude.. I guarantee a 2k bow didn't actually cost him 2k. And he obviously has a very keen interest in bows, so while he's out there running a successful business he may or may not have time to practise enough to be a better than average shooter. He could be a total shit shot (doubt it) and he still has more reason than most people to own a nice bow. Dick
"Looks play a big part with archery." Blimey how vain are some people. To me it doesn't matter what the bow looks like, it's how well the archer shoots with it. Nothing worse than seeing a novice with all the top expensive gear who can't shoot the barn door. It's the way a bow feels in the hand and to shoot not what it looks like. Going on looks alone you will have no chance. 🏹
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A REVIEW IF YOU CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGHER QUALITY LIMBS COMPARED TO LOWER QUALITY LIMB,FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE MAKING A VIDEO.
