Equipment Query

    Was on altservices and saw that in their sale items at the moment includes Sebastien Flute Glass/Foam limbs for just over E85. I'm not exactly well-versed in technical details, but atm I have SF Carbon/Wood limbs on my bow, as they were the standard ones the came with it, and I wasn't looking to spend the extra for the Carbon/Foam at the time.

    Can anyone tell me about the advantages/disadvantages of the Glass/Foam over the ones I have, and let me know whether or not I'd be doing well to get them?

    If you plan on only shooting indoors then the carbon/wood ones are grand. Even outdoors they aren't that bad as they are not 100% wood. The foam based limbs are very good outdoors, high/low temps, dry/wet, they don't care - will shoot the same in any weather conditions.

    They are a bit more forgiving as well on the shot.

    We just switched to outdoors for the summer; I'm finally moving on to longer distances after being stuck indoors since I got my equipment last October.

    Stay with the ones you have unless you want to get higher poundage limbs. What poundage are you shooting at the moment? If you are training 2-3 times a week then you should very slowly try to go up in poundage till you get to around 34-38 lbs, (like 1 pound a month, there should be +-5% adjustment from adjusting your bow) .The details will depend very much on how often you train, physical build etc, but its a general goal to allow you to hit 90m comfortably.

    Always go for cheapish limbs while you are increasing poundage, and when you finally get to the poundage you feel comfortable with and can hit the distances you want, then save up and buy some £200 mid-high end carbon limb, then shoot them for 3-4 years or more.

    At the moment I'm shooting the same 30s I got with my bow back in October, which are starting to feel pretty light. Maybe time to step up to a 32? I'm shooting twice a week at the moment, and hoping to slip in a third now that the evenings are set to brighten.
