Since you say "not sure here", just be aware that Axiom+ limbs in long feels a bit sluggish in comparison to the medium version. The heavy wood glass construction gets even heavier when the limbs are long. If you draw 29 and over, go 70", but if you are 27-28,9 somewhere, the 68 will be more nice to shoot. In long, I like the SF Premium and Premium Carbon better. Also the Samicks in the lower price range perform very well. However, the Axioms are still a great deal since they are so cheap and the build quality is excellent.
You can?t go wrong with the G2. Very good riser for the price.
MartinO - great to see you on archeryinterchange.....
Martin T - believe everything that MartinO says! He knows what he is on about.
I would caution about the combination of G2 and Axiom+ limbs. I have tried a G1 with 9 different sets of limbs including some 34L Axiom+. In every case the limb fit was compromised in some way either through a very stiff fit over the limb bolt or what seemed like clearance problems with the dovetail. In a couple of cases the limbs simply wouldn't fit the riser (the manufacturer recommended sanding the limb slots). In the other cases the limbs would not fit at some point over the recommended range of adjustment of the limb bolts. In the case of the Axioms, there was clear interference with the bolt that holds the dovetail plate to the riser and the limbs, to the extent that the limbs were slightly damaged by the bolt.
I think the G1 limb geometry is identical to the G2, hence my caution. Please test for limb fit to the G1/G2 before buying would be my strong advice, or obtain specific advice from your supplier that your chosen limbs fit.
The Axiom+ limbs perform extremely well for their price though I do agree with Martin about other options.
