Lancaster Archery, Black Maxx Carbon/wood limbs.

By far & away the best value for money ILF limbs on the planet. I've shot loads of different ILF limbs, over the yars & to be honest, these perform up there with the best of them, for about ΒΌ the price of most.

H2, were you happy with the Dalaa? The folks at 3 rivers are good, honest, folks who, apprciate your business!

Did you ask if they could replace the limbs at a reasonable cost to the both of ya? The limbs and bow seem to be pretty good overall!

Could you send the limb back for them to see the damage? They want your continued business, and satisfation, even as a second owner.

I would give them opportunity to help satisfy you!

If else where, you still will pay something.

Good shootin to ya!

looked at the black max robtattoo looks good to me thanks for the advice i may get me a set.

frank man yeah i like the dalaa my favorite so far and the folks at 3rivers are tops in my book i enjoy doin business with them always done right by me no complaints here.but i have heard that i can get better limbs going the ilf route and since i blew mine i have an excuse to give it a try.was considering it anyway this just rushed it some.

Do you think that the limb failure was your fault? What were the grains per inch of the arrow you were using, the draw weight and your length of draw? Just asking?
