The matte black finish on these limbs should be favoured by bowhunters. Truly nothing "flashy" due to the matte finish. They came shipped in clear plastic wrappers.
These limbs showed their first and only flaw while trying to install them. The U openings for attachment to the limb bolts fall short on the required width and are not well finished. The two sides of the U are cut after the hole for the limb bolt is drilled. The finish on the two sides of the cut is slightly narrower than the diameter of the limb bolt. Fitting the limbs onto any riser will require some DIY to correct the width. I had tried them on 3 different risers and the limbs didn't set in. I took my vernier calipers and files of various grit and refined the U opening to fit the limb bolts snugly. The total time took about 15 minutes.
With the refit done, I test mounted these limbs onto a 17 inch barebow magnesium riser. No adjustment necessary for the preset with my 17 inch riser and the bowstring is already well centered.
The draw weight did increase about 2 lbs with the 17 inch riser. The draw is smooth and consistent without any stacking. The limb mass is average. And average is what these limbs are in terms of liveliness and post shot buzz.
Tests with arrows showed that these are limbs with no-surprise behaviours. Shots are consistent. These are not high-end limbs and one should expect them to be such. However, for the price to satisfaction ratio, these limbs are better than average.
The manufacturer should have tighter QA on the U openings. Potential buyers should be prepared for some DIY.
