I was at the Andoba FITA Star and saw a pair, they look really nice very recurved though, I dont know Much about the limb but when the limbs snapped in the middle lots of people seemed to say about this happening. I don want to spread rumours im just saying from what people said to this guy the hyperflex core limbs seem to have a habbit of doing this. I was just wandering if the extra
recurve in the limbs might cause this or would it be thre wrong bracing height since they did look very different in profile to other limbs ive seen.
Anyway I have shot Hex IVs and love them so theese new ones sound great
I can say, to help set the record straight, that the Hyperflex core has been used in the ML2 limb onwards.
It is the choice of core that has held the TXG, TX40 Gold, Merlin Elite limbs together for years and has been extensivly dry fired (over 4500 times)
I can say that there are many rumours about many products, and many damaging comments made, Not sure if "these people" you spoke to know what they are saying and how damageing rumours and hear say like the details of these ones can be. I dont think there are many companies that can vouch that their core material is tested over 6 years of shooting by archers all over the world, other than Maple, which is a choice of core other than Hyperflex if you are concerned about Hyperflex for what ever reason.
The core can withstand heavy bow weights up to 80lbs, and is happy with light weight arrows for the respective draw weight.
As for the
Recurve shape:
Have a look for "borderbows" on YouTube and you can see for yourself that the hex5 recurve shape and materials are very capable of handling the loadings of life as a limb up to the normal draw lengths. Especially when the limb gave way at over 47" of draw on a 60" bow with a 17" riser.
As for the Wrong brace height. We are currently recomending that the hex5 works best with a lower brace height, (0.5" less than normal as a start)
This is still within the designed quiet region of the limbs.
We understand that Alan, (the gent, whos limb broke that you mention) was well aware of the BH and was within the recomended range.
