Elite Limb Question? Kevin?

[Playingthewind]

Can i take one 60 lb limb and one 70 lb limb and install them on a bow and have the bow max out at 65 lbs? I am curious about being able to do this with binary cam bows. I think it will work but need some professional advice before blowing up a set of limbs. I don't think it will matter which is 60 or which is 70 top or bottom. If posting on here makes anyone nervous about this send me a pm. Thanks

I would think not just use 2 70# limbs and turn the limbolts down

I wouldn't do it. The different weights are due to the different deflections of the limbs so by using two different deflection limbs one would flex more than the other with equal pressure being applied and would wreak havoc on your cam and nock travel. TT is right just lower the poundage but if you want the bow to max out at 65 so your limbs will be bottomed out at that weight you can probably get a set of matching limbs that will allow you to achieve that weight.

You can do it, it just won't work!!!!

No ,do not put two different deflection limbs on a bow!!!!!:thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Just curious...

what exactly would happen when the bow was shot?

I am positive the bow will work as far as flinging an arrow, but it would be virtually impossible to get the thing in proper timing. You would have awful arrow flight, and probably a ton of vibration, and various other strange things happening. Probably be better off doing this :slingshot:

Is the heavier limb on the bottom........or the top?

Either way. Both ways? what would happen?

There will be alot of vibration. It's like shooting a bow that has 1 limb going(breaking). If the top limb goes you shoot high. The reverse if the bottom limb goes. With wood limbs ( yeah I know I'm old) the heaviest of the 2 always went on the bottom. But we're not talking a 60-70# spread in deflection.

Isn't this what happens when you buy a bow from a unreputable bow company at the end of the production season! LOL
Just kidding!:toothless:
