    This is probably a stupid question but im asking anyway. I presume it's ok to use a riser of one brand, and limbs of another. Both say universally compatible.

    International Limb Fitting will fit any limb of one brand to a riser of another...hence the name international limb fitting

    A word of caution, there is no real agreed standard on limb fitting - what is called International Limb Fitting[ILF] is the original Hoyt limb fitting that everyone just copied. Whilst most limbs and risers are indeed compatible, people (including myself) have had issues mixing and matching risers and limbs from different manufacturers. For instance, whilst W&W WinAct limbs worked fine on my Spig 2001 VBS riser (RIP Old Painless :( ), I couldn't get Samick Extreme limbs to line up properly on it, yet the Extremes line up fine on my PSE X-Factor. You're safest with limbs and risers from the same manufacturer, although other combinations may work fine. It's just something to be wary of. Don't unquestioningly trust the ILF standard, because it isn't one :)

    True, Ewan. Probably would be safer. Or stick to the same country of manufacture at least :D

    Why dont you visit archeryshop and meet keith and look at bows and thsi way if you want to mix and match different makes at least you could see they are in correct alignment. i have visited and there is plenty of stock there of both agulla, winstar, hoyts and all different limbs. And also Keith will steer you in right direction. it might be worth the visit to be sure you come away happy ???
