I am looking to get new limbs and was thinking of G3's, my question is does anyone who has shot them have any opinions? (I have heard they stack and take a long time to get, 32/34lbs @ 68). Also if anyone has any other limb suggestions I am willing to listen.

 

[st8arrow]

Two alternatives I would recommend are Samick Extremes, and PSE
X-pressions. Both are stable, fast, and are a good value.

I have a pair of G3 38# mediums. They are fast and I don't find stacking problems. What I do find is that they sort of have to warm up. I don't think it is me, but after 20 or so shots, I have to make sight adjustments, which seem to be constant for however many more I shoot. I usually stretch before, so, please, no one say that I am stretching out and that would account for the change. Anyway, I have been told by someone else using them that they are experiencing the same thing.

 

[josharcher]

But besides the warm up factor you still think they are worth the price? And to st8arrow I have been wondering adout the X-pressions I have seen quite a few people shooting them and they say they are also good, have you shot them? Any comments on W&W Winex limbs?

 

[engtee]

Yes, it does seem as though there is a warm-up period. Generally, I have been satisfied with them, though that warm-up period necessitates that I arrive at an event with enough time to shoot prior to the official practice end.
If you feel that very high end limbs are correct for you, I would recommend them.

Josh,
Why dont you just ask your coach!?! Hey ask Mr. Hines he has G3's?!?
I forgot to ask you yesterday but why are you getting new limbs!?!?!?!?!

 

[josharcher]

Ok thank you engtee. And girlarcher if you wanted to ask me that you could have just E-mailed me, but I am thinking of getting new limbs and I just wanted some opinion.

 

[st8arrow]

I haven't shoot g-3's, so can't make a valid comment, but have owned Borders, Hoyt carbon plus, Hoyt M-1's, Samick Extremes, W&W Focus, W&W Synergy, & now shoot X-pressions. Several of these limbs were changed as I stepped up in weight and not because I didn't like them.

The X-pressions are in my opinion the best combination of speed, stability, are very smooth, and are a good buy. My second choice would be the Extremes. Your draw length should be a consideration. I draw 29" and don't have stacking issues with these limbs, but over 30" can make various limbs react differently. You might do a search and you will find lots of posts regarding opinions on various limbs.

The X-pressions are made by W&W for PSE, and while they are not the exact design of the highly regarded Winex, they are similar and a lot cheaper. My best advise would be to try to demo a set of the ones you are considering. I know that is easier said than done.

Personal preferences play such a big part in selecting equipment. Every limb/riser I've ever owned could outperform me. Good luck

 

[josharcher]

Thank you and like I said I have been wondering about this limbs when I was in Vegas at the beginning of the year I was able to pull back a pair and I really liked them, that is interesting to know that W&W made them for PSE I never knew that, so thanks again and I will definitely think about these limbs.

WINEX is the best limb made period. The Samick Extremes are nice-I bought a pair from Stan Boyd but 42 marked Extremes are heavier-I am getting 49.75 at almost 29 inch draw on an xfactor. 47 is about the lightest they will go while G3 Hoyts at 42 pounds are pulling around 43. My WW/PSE expressions (all my limbs are marked 42) are pulling around 44.5 which makes sense since hoyt limbs are always light. 42 pound skys are pulling 45, and 42 pound MI are also at 43. My wife shoots WINEX and while they are too light for me (36) they are very smooth and very fast. I also have a set of Merlin/Borders-40 pounds-nice and smooth. FX 42's are fastest for those in that real weight range.

smoothest drawing limbs? hard to say-maybe M1 or vector along with the Sky. smoothest discharge-easy-Martin Aurora limbs

 

[josharcher]

The thing about the winex limbs is thay are so expensive.

 

[Jim C]

The thing about the winex limbs is thay are so expensive.

yep and I doubt an average archer is going to see much difference. THe MI's are great and for the money you can find vectors around for 250-300 and they are super smooth

 

[josharcher]

Ok thank you.

 

[NHSarcher]

Sent u a PM

Josh,

Sent you a PM.

 

[bsu_beginner]

I have shot both the xpressions and the g3's. I love the xpressions better. They are a tad faster and they don't stack (unless you have some ungodly drawlength).

the g3's I shot, with the tillers adjusted correctly, still tended to have a mind of their own. Like they were two seperate units working with their own agenda. Kinda whippy, and I enjoy a snappy feel.

xpressions are a natural upgrade from something like a conquest or a pro elite. I am shooting the conquests and the xpressions and wouldn't change anything.

 

[josharcher]

NSHarcher when did you send me that PM? and to bsu beginner thank you.

 

[NHSarcher]

This am. Did u get it?

 

[josharcher]

No!

 

[girlarchery]

Hey Josh,
