I am thinking of TD the Raptor that model I can also use recurve limbs ,or one piece longbow models but the offer 3 models,thinking of Hunter gl,or Griffon gl ,,just need some input for members here,we just got a USA price sheet,
I have owned 3 of the Border one piece longbows models all carbon.
My biggest complaint was that carbon noise or "twang" drove me nuts.
I still own the Hunter GL carbon no glass. It still had the same noise until I tried a Fury string from Allen @ Ten Rings. 90% of that noise is gone. I wish that I could have tried it on the other Border longbows because they are a great bows by any standard.
I have no intention of getting rid of the Hunter GL.
Sorry for the long winded answer, I hope it helps.
Go on Pete Ward site, he tested I believe 2 Border LBs and gave very good reviews on them.

Hunter Gl might be way I go in future ,not sure what the difference with the other 2 models he makes ,I will try a Fury string soon thanks,
Have heard nothing but good about the 1pc LB's, comparable shooting qualities to many of the top stateside offerings like Fox, 21st Century, etc when it comes to 'tournament longbows".
I have personally owned/tried the Raptor ILF limbs and they are excellent. I used them on a 21" DAS Dalaa riser and they were quick for the weight, very very quiet and exceedingly smooth. Their more recent work features very very nice craftsmanship and you will be most pleased. If you need a viable alternative for any reason another superb ILF longbow limb are those made by Jim Neaves of Centaur.
cool he has a sale going now he just emailed checking it out,
