I am researching upgrading to Uukha limbs and am curious what the differences are between the SX50+ and the Gobi limbs?
I don't know anyone that carries them near me or any traditional equipment for that matter or anyone that is using them.
I look forward to hearing your experience!

Today I ordered the Uukha Altai limbs about 3 hours ago. They are the "nature" version of the SX+. I believe the Gobi's are the Nature version of the SX50.
The only difference I've been able to ascertain is fewer decals on the Natures to be a bit less noticeable in the "wild".
I went with the Altai in order to maximize the potential improvements from the Trad Tech RC Cabons. I ordered from Alternatives in the UK. My first order from them as well. I couldn't pass up saving $260.
These will be my first Uukha limbs. I hope we like em (you and I).

Should be setting up a set of SX+'s on a CD WF19 by week's end....note: my 1st experience with Uukha's....

I had some sx80’s on a satori riser. A very good combination. No stacking at my 31.5” dl. As quiet as any of my other recurves. A friend wanted that combination more than I did and he has used it to kill severs deer.
-
My understanding is the 'nature' series, in this case the 'Gobi' have fewer, more subtle decals. And they are available in 5# increments. The 'target' series, in this case the SX50, has larger decals and are available in 2# increments.

I just received my Gobi's this week. I was just shooting them a few minutes ago actually. I draw 29.75" and it's pretty amazing how much better they feel compared to a standard limb. The difference is immediately noticeable. These 45# uukha's on my satori riser shoot the same arrow tuned just as well, to the same point of impact as my 50# samick R1s. The samicks pull 60# at my draw length and the stack is pretty bad, i haven't had a chance to weigh the uuhka's yet though.

... Post pics when you get them!...
...3Rivers has them as a special order, with no indication of how long it takes to get a set delivered....
...I'm looking at getting a 3Rivers 19" tribute riser, and a set of Uukha Altai limbs for 3D...

...I'm looking for a new 19" riser for 3D... currently the 3Rivers tribute has my attention, but would like to hear what you think about the WF risers when you get it set up...

Those WF risers were sure common in the shoot-offs at the Lancaster Classic this year.
They seem pretty heavy to me. However, that makes for a nice dead-in-the-hand feel.
-
The difference in Uukha limbs is the carbon content, profile (recurve or S curve) limb finish and the length of the riser the draw weight is measured on.
Target 25" riser Gloss finish or mat finish standard decals or minimal decals
Sx+ 100% carbon S curve
Sx100 100% carbon
Sx80 80% carbon
Sx50 50% carbon
Nature 19" riser Mat finish minimal decals
Altaï 100% carbon S curve
Uureg 100% carbon
Selenga 80% carbon
Gobi 50% carbon

Bought a set of gobis from John's custom archery in Ringgold Va. Fast service. Bought these when I couldn't get a response from Border about some lighter limbs for my covert. They are excellent limbs for the cost. I've been shooting them every day on a tradtech riser. These are an excellent buy.
-
I am curious what others are paying for their limbs? I've read the Gobi's have been bought for as little at $330 and I believe it's 3Rivers has then for $499.
-
$303 at Alternativess. $14 shipping is what I paid for Altai naturals.
-
When I was buying a set of Uukha limbs I checked several of the US archery suppliers just because I wanted to support them but they didn't have the limbs I wanted with the minimum logo in the weight I wanted and didn't know when they would get them in. Alternative was much cheaper and their shipping was very quick. I would have gladly paid more from a US supplier but that wasn't an option. When you look if supply is a problem as it is with a lot of things these days check Alternative as they seam to carry a big inventory of Uukha limbs.

Was there any other fees / taxes involved?

The altai are $750 through alt,,,gobi’s are $303.

No weird fees or taxes. It takes 3-6 weeks to get them and they’ll arrive via ups. I just received my go i’s from them 2 weeks ago and the total was $330,,,,great limb, but not 100% carbon
-
There must be customs duties/import taxes when entering the U.S.
-
I received an e-mail indicating my Altai limbs will arrive tomorrow via UPS Express. This is about a month earlier than I expected (24 days instead of 5-6 weeks).
I'll do my best to compare them to what I'm currently using and report back here.
-
Bowwild....if you are really getting altais at 330 (not gobis).... that's a super deal.....sure they aren't gobis?

No, I was answering the Gobi price question in that post and the fact that I bought Altai's. The Altai's arrived about 30 minutes ago.
I paid $785 plus $14 for express shipping.
I realize my post structure confused the issue.
-
Ahh, gotcha! Will be interested to hear what you think when you get them set up!

I spent some time with he Uukha Altai limbs today.
My first impression of the quality of the limbs is very strong. Perfectly finished, very smooth, and solid feeling. Packed in nice, protective sleeves. I can not imagine how this could be improved. The limb tips are pretty tiny which means I have to use a stringer that does't go over the top limb. No big deal.
The draw weight of the Uukha on Lobo Riser (17" riser, short limbs making a 58" bow) is 39 pounds at my 26" draw length. I bought 60/40 limbs.
The draw weight of my Lobo with short TT RC Limbs is 43 pounds set up the same as above for the Uukha.
It is not dramatic the difference in drawing the two bows. The Uukhas are more pleasant to shoot; smoother and more quiet.
I chronographed both set ups with a XX75 arrow, 4" feathers - total weight 410 grains. I know pretty light, but I just wanted a pretty well-tuned arrow for the comparison.
-RC - 161 FPS
-Uukha - 159
I was hoping to get the same or better performance with the Uukhas compared with the RCs. Basically, the Uukhas shoot very close to the same FPS but at a 4 pounds lighter draw weight.
-
I bought the Gobi limbs, 45@28 and make a 64 inch bow on a 19 inch riser. I have them on a 19 inch satori and draw 29 3/4 inches.
I've chronographed two arrows, my winter league arrow (heavy) and a bare shaft I'm testing for a potential dozen new arrows for this summer/fall.
With the 703 grain indoor arrow I clocked it at 163 fps. The lighter shaft wieghs 568 grains and shot 175 fps +/- 1 fps over 5 shots.
I've been very pleased with these limbs in every metric.

Nice Gobis!
You folks with long draw lengths sure get a lot out of your bows!

I shoot the uukha Saiga with Satori 17" riser #49 at my 28" draw length .
60" bow . Compact and smooth package ,
