Title: Changing a Recurve to a Longbow
Post by: bmfer on May 11, 2010, 09:43:00 PM
Ok, lets say you have a Hoyt Gamemaster2 and a Dorado, you like them for the tough, good bows that they are, but maybe you're getting a little bored with them. The Gamemaster is the oldest and set up to bowfish, so you decide you don't want to mess with that one, maybe a set of longbow limbs for the Dorado. Longbow limbs would be pretty hot on that riser. Ok, now you know what you want, kinda. Just don't know what kind of limbs are out there. So you think maybe you should ask the people on that cool archery site. Ok, here goes, what kind of limbs do you put on, trying to keep the price less than $200?

For under $200, the TT are the only choice I know of. They are not always a perfect fit, meaning you may have to take some of the limb butts off with a file so the limb bolt bezel will seat properly.
It is not a big deal, just letting you know.
Also, if you have never tried a set of carbon or foam limbs on one of your Hoyts you need to! I put a cheap $100 set of SF foam limbs on my Dorado riser,much smoother and quite too.
