What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two brands for recurve ilf bows. What is better?

both make great risers but win&win makes better limbs..

In my personal experience:

In the past, pre Quattro Hoyt limbs = limbs that were nicely finished, stable, and a little bit on the slow side.

More currently, WinWin WiaWis NS limbs = stable, fast, maybe a tiny bit stacky at the clicker.

Most recently, Hoyt X-Tour Bamboo limbs = fast, stable, and noticeably the butter-smoothest limbs I've ever shot.

I've seen more failures with Hoyts than I have W&Ws.

Not brand bashing, but I've seen several cracked risers, incorrectly milled risers, limbs twisted out of box, and limbs not even marked at the right draw weight out of box. While with W&W, I am yet to see a defective product. I'm sure some have happened somewhere, but I am yet to be a witness.

On account of seeing my friends receive a number of defective products from Hoyt, I would rank W&W above them simply for better quality control.

Just my humble observations. Both are great brands.
