Anyone want to share their favorite limb cores in the mentor??? I have only shot bamboo in a long bow til a year ago and I owned 2 different sets of the Hoyt velos bamboo... while at first...six months or so I thought they were the best thing on the planet....but after a while I just felt like they were too smooth. I felt like I wasn't getting the same kind of wall feeling at the back end of the draw like a maple core limb...I think I would have to order 5 pounds heavier for them to feel the way I want...but optimal for cost savings would to just forego the bamboo upgrade all together. I think he offers Osage, red elm, and yew as limb cores other than the upgrade to bamboo... I have considered yew limb cores but I don't have any experience with them...will any of these limb cores Outlast one or the other? Love to hear some honest opinions. Thanks, and Merry Christmas

Bamboo v Hard Rock Maple v Foam is really the only comparison I could offer. Foam just feels weird to me now that I have shot wood cores for so many years. HRM feels heavy and fast. Bamboo feels light and fast. HRM feels like more of the wall whereas bamboo feels like it can go forever almost. Probably won’t see a difference in the draw force curve, but I trust my senses just enough to pic my favorite. Bamboo.

I do think bamboo is superior in most longbow limb designs simply because there is so much stiffness built into the limb design as is compared to a RC limb.
