Nope, the limbs aren't a gimmick. They perform very well according to most people who have shot them. As with all bows, it doesn't suit everyone.

I am looking forward to mine in just over 2 months.

Different, but not my cup of tea.  What kind of warranty does it come with?

I would rather see the professional results from Blacky or Norb.

I would like to see these in Walk the Talk also for bonafide numbers. A warranty would be nice too.

Personally, the reports I have heard about the bow have been great. Archery for me is about the fun.  There will be a bow report at some point I am sure, but I have never bought a bow because of any one person's data or opinion.  Of course, I drive a 1982 Chevy Chevette diesel on veggie oil- not because I have to, but because I can. We all have different likes and dislikes, as well as opinions. That's what's great about traditional archery. Our differences allow so many wonderful bowyers to practice their craft.

Sweet.  I used to run my 1992 F-250 on grease.  The only time I could tell a difference in power was towing heavy loads up hill.  I also didn't eat nachos for a really long time after that either.

All the Swans have a 1 year warranty against defects to the original owner/purchaser.

The thread is about the riser not the limbs. There are other threads about the Wave you can discuss it in.

Thanks for the photos vermonster13. I changed my order to the wood riser yesterday. It sounds like there are some great wood combinations possible- although I think the walnut and maple looks very nice. It's also nice that it will accept all the types of limbs.

Sweet! Liked those wave limbs at the bunny hunt, theyd go great with that riser.What is that in the riser taht looks sorta like Oierce points?

Really like the looks of the riser, simple lines sometimes are the best.

Now were talkin!!!!!

Any speed reports yet?

Just couldnt justify it before but now that there is some wood involved I may have to have one.

That riser makes that one of the COOLEST looking bows I've seen. Boy this bow is tempting!  

Is the bow FF compatible? Can you shoot Endless and Flemish with the bow?
Thanks
Bob

I like the new riser, wood has always been my 1st choice for a riser but I have shot some nice metal riser bows too.

Swans have been FF compatible for a long time. I shoot Ultra-Cam endless on mine.

I prefer Flemish, so no problem with Flemish strings with the FF materials like 8125 etc...?
Thanks
Bob

I think Arvid told me they are working on updates to the website for the Wave limbs and riser. He is so busy building them that it's taking some time. He said the pics were taken and should be on the site in a month or so. That was a couple weeks ago. There is a lot of  information on the Wave in the forums here though. I will post more when I get mine in a couple months.

That riser really does have some beautiful lines. I think Arvid hit it on the head on that one.

As an aside, why in the world would a flemish string void the warranty on a Swan?

I was jusr reading thru this and thought the same thing.....

You can use any properly made string on the bow of any material. Just string the bow correctly and use of a stringer is recommended.
