Bought these WNS Explore W1 Limbs on line, 1st purchase of limbs...shipped. and received. Thanks CAO.
I'll say that at least 1 of these 5 stars goes to canadaarcheryonline for their amazing service. Fast, courteous and they respond to email quickly.
I shot about 100 arrows this morning, and I have to say that I'm very impressed for them being wood core. Very nice action, and they absolutely feel like quality. I'm enjoying WNS more and more!
These limb have held up nicely, so far no scratches or marks, all screws are tight. Go them in person at the pro shop. Very smooth draw cycle, and easily fit my ILF riser. The string always sits nicely once strung.
Great starter limbs at a good price. I draw long, almost 32" and these limbs are very smooth and i dont notice any stacking at the end of my draw. Zero issues and they hold up nicely to dings and scratches (none to report).
I have a WNS riser with Galaxy limbs (28lbs). The Galaxy limbs fit a tad loose with a little bit of jiggle when clicked into place. The WNS limbs fit super snug. A little tight even, to click into place. I’m super happy I purchased these limbs.
Bow sizing based on archer's height for Olympic Recurve
Olympic Recurve bows typically range in overall size from 66" to 70". Below is a rough guideline for new archers getting started in the sport.
- 5'5" or shorter = 66" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 68" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 70" bow
The Height of a modern Olympic Recurve bow is dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. Combining long limbs with two different size risers will result in two different size bows. The typical Olympic riser size is either 23, 25" and 27".
Bow sizing based on archer's Draw Length for Traditional Takedown
Please note, traditional recurve draw length is typically shorter than compound. If transitioning always scale down at least half an inch for draw length.
For Adults
- 5'5" or shorter = 60" - 62" bow
- 5'6" to 5'9" = 62" - 66" bow
- 5'10" or taller = 66" - 68" plus, bow
These are rough guidelines for new archers so they get the most out of their new traditional equipment. For some takedown bows limb length is not a choice. After some experience you may find you like longer or shorter limbs.
The Height of traditional takedown bows will often be dictated by a combination of the riser size and the limb size. A 58" bow for example can be made up of any combination of limb and riser size that creates an overall length of 58".
Traditional Takedown bows can come in sizes anywhere from 52" all the way up to 70". Bows that are longer in length are typically used in tournament situations while bows shorter in total length are used for hunting.
Age and Experience guideline
- 14 years old or younger = poundage should be the as their age. Example 12 years old should be shooting 12# bow.
- 18 to 14 years old = 16# to 20# depending on body build and height
- Adult: Beginner = under 20#, Intermediate 22# to 28#, Advanced with experience = 30# and up.
