Uukha SX+ Recurve Limbs Review | Unboxing, Setup, Tuning and Speed Check

I got my hands on a set of Uuhka SX+ Limbs to review! Do they live up to the hype? Are the SX+ Recurve Limbs as fast as they claim to be? How does the Uuhkha S Curve Limb feel compared to laminate limbs? I unbox, setup and tune the Uukha SX+ Limbs in this video and I shoot them through a chronograph to check the speed of these monolith carbon limbs.

Your first Uukha video is actually how I discovered your channel. I think those limbs are very interesting for people who shoot lower poundages (34-38) and still want to reach 70m.

[@tradarcher300]

Honestly, I was shooting 32# , maybe 31# otf with a 26" arrow as a cadet and making it to 70 with $120 limbs. With my current 39# otf and 29" arrows I'm shooting 70 pretty easily.,

[@ZephrusPrime]

I have the good ol' Evo 2's and I absolutely LOVE THEM. NO matter which riser I put them on they are my Fave! They love to be on either my 19 or 21 Satori, they love it when they are on my GMX or even an SF Forged. They are fast, smooth, flat and so nice to pull!!

[@ryrymustardseed3970]

Need to compare and acknowledge arrow weight. If arrows are different weights it changes things a lot. Fwiw my vx+ long limbs are 9-14fps faster than velos, veracity, ex prime, ns, rcx100, uukha ex1. That’s same archer (myself), same riser, same arrows, same chronograph, same day. I adjusted arrow weight with weight tubes to keep grains per lb the same. Lighting can make a big difference. Consider checking a known-speed setup prior to testing new limbs, just to make certain chronograph is reading the same. You could use your wife’s bow and just make sure the chrono is always reading the FPS at what was established in original test. Or note the discrepancy and test anyway.

[@jamesasmith2494]

I agree! Speed test without arrow weight is meaningless for me.

[@bambuwuzled]

@@jamesasmith2494 To be fair he sticks to a certain setup for freestyle, ~30" 2/8 raw shaft length (judging from arrow building videos) X10 in either 410 or 450 spine, said he only uses 100 grain tungsten points, Wav Pro vanes, and pin nocks, so you could just work out the weight from that. Agree it would be a nice touch to add the weight of the arrows since every bit of information is good information imo, but since he always uses the same arrow setup more or less at least there is a "control" so the difference is measurable.

[@tommynolan3088]

interesting results at the end there, good work Jake keep up the quality content!

[@williambilse]

That Meta DX is sweet. I wish they made a 19" for hunting.

[@nightranch6218]

If all the limbs shoot the same arrow, a higher poundage will result in lower efficiency. Which means comparing FPS per pound for bows shooting the same arrow isn’t really telling much. The traditional recurve community often uses GPP(grain per pound) as a control when comparing speeds, usually 10 GPP, ie shooting 460 grain arrow for 46lb bow. So long as GPP is consistent and the poundages between limbs are not too different, speeds can be directly compared.

[@RedmercyGG]

Comparing the speed of the same arrow setup is not informative at all, as the arrow tune would essentially require a fixed arrow speed, assuming the technique is consistent enough. So if the arrow speed is the same, poundage can be compared directly, with higher poundage less desirable (i.e. slower limbs).

[@markwalsh1474]

Hi Jake another great vid buddy ..It's good see the thought process that you go through. .Your channel is great for old archers plus good for the people coming in to the sport as well as entertaining. Keep up the great work and there are many of us appreciate the time and effort you put in ..

[@lordcarnorjax8599]

It's interesting watching this review again now that I've had a pair of extra long SX50's for a few months. Jake saying these limbs are quiet. Like numerous people with SX50 X-Long limbs I'm having trouble tuning them to be quiet. Sounding "angry" is the term that people have used to describe my bow and bows of others in some archery forums. I've played with various brace heights and tiller settings within Uuhka's recommendations. I've got a almost neutral tiller right now which has them as quiet as I've got them so far. The only thing I haven't done is try a FF / 652 string like Jake uses. I'm using a 8125G string. I know of some one else who switched to a FF string and got them quiet so looks like I'll give that try now.

[@mathiashammar1]

Seams like the speed gain on the top end Uukha is minuscule and doesn't justify x3 times the sticker price to be honest. I'm happy with the Gobi version. It delivers same performance as FC-100 limbs. Its like splitting hairs to make a difference. Initial pull is about 10-15lbs heavier , that's only difference i can feel and measure.

[@johnbarron4265]

Jake, your commitment both to science and the archery community is most commendable! However, I'm not sure about the fps/lbf metric you've devised for rating the efficiency of limbs. That metric inherently favors lighter limbs over heavier limbs, even when both limbs have identical energy efficiency. For example, suppose you have two identically-efficient sets of limbs, one drawing 40 lbf at your draw length, and the other drawing 50 lbf at your draw length. Assuming the brace height is set the same for both, then the 50 lbf limbs will store exactly 25% more energy than the 40 lbf limbs. And being that the kinetic energy of the arrow goes with speed squared, the 50 lbf limbs will cast the same arrow 11.8% faster than the 40 lbf limbs. However, since the draw weight increased by 25% to get that extra 11.8% of speed, then the ft/sec/lbf of the 50 lbf limb would actually be about 10.5% lower than that of the 40 lbf limbs. I propose a new metric of efficiency given by fps^2/lbf. Square the speed first, then divide by actual draw weight on the fingers. Then heavier limbs won't be automatically mathematically disadvantaged in the comparison.

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

I am working on a new metric that uses bow efficiency and will be far more fair for sure. However be sure to take into consideration that the bow weight is relative to the arrow I am tuning. Because the arrow is the same build (spine, length point etc) then it is fair to just use fps/lb but I am working with the new metric to take into consideration true efficiency where the mass weight of the limb as well as how the arrow is accelerating makes a difference. I need another week or two to nail this down but it will be far more fair and accurate and will be enlightening.

[@greenhoodedvigilante458]

1:43 Having a set of limbs with matt look, you can easily use this limbs on a 17" or 19" riser and get a hunting bow.

[@kook1233211991]

Thanks a lot for this review. I'm really eager to know how they will perform on 70m. These limbs get so much hype in the Barebow community but i never see them at OLR competition and I always wondered if this is solely because of sponsorship reasons and how they would compare to premium Hoyt and W&W limbs. It's great to finally have someone that puts some "science" behind their review and not only praise how smooth they feel because no matter how smooth they might be, if they don't score, they don't score. I also always wondered at what cost that speed they claim might come from. If you look at the 2021 Ukkha lineup graphics they even claim that their mid end models drastically outperform top end laminated limbs. I'm really looking foward for your 70m rounds . Thanks for this awesome content.

[@WildlifeKit]

I just had to pull out of a field competition today as the top limb of the SX+ seems to have the beginning of a carbon delimitation. about ⅓ of the way down from the limb tip. running my fingers over the Back (as opposed to belly) of the top limb I could feel some bumps on the surface. can't see it by eye but can definitely feel it on the fingers. the bumps disappear when I unstrung the bow. I ran my fingers over the bottom limb to compare and the Back was smooth. I've proceeded with a warranty claim. I've only put around 9,000 arrows through it. 68" 40# with 37# at the fingers. Hoyt Xceed 25" riser

[@neilbrooks127]

I shoot uukha Ibris limbs 60# @28 ...they are so fast and so easy to draw ....on my carbon Z October mountain riser ..Traditional bowhunter style NFAS 🇬🇧

[@Piasecznik72]

S curve is supposed to have flat part of the curve in the middle of the draw. It is where it is most difficult for archer to draw.

[@bobjimenez4464]

Repeatability is probably important, maybe extremely important for those shooting field competition. I'd like to see you peel off the clear coat and set them up as if you owned these limbs. Uukah should step up to the plate like Big Boys to defend their product.

[@kirillf.8053]

Great review. Personally got me a set of 40lbs SX50 for barebow. Feels like 34 lbs on my fingers with 29" draw. Yet, there's one downsight. The groove for the string is too deep (or maybe it's an S-curve), so it makes limb alignment a bit more uncomfy (as well as lack of olympic stabs).

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

Maybe that's why I saw it "difficult" to adjust.

[@SvenSan]

Which limbs did you shoot before, just to know why you get that feeling of them beeing way less poundage? I want to get some sx50s for myself, but I don't have the opportunity to try them before buying so I collect experiences where possible so I can get the right draw weight.

[@kirillf.8053]

​@@SvenSan Previously I was shooing 40lbs WNS Motive F5 (with a foam core), which are quite good for starters, IMO. I've tried a bunch of limbs for barebow but found that wood core limbs are really tiring. The SX50 and other Uukha limbs (which are even higher grade) have the S-curve and are very thin down to the limb tips & it's probably it, that makes them so easy to draw. For me, it seems like you're holding a compound with a 30% weight-drop. Note They're terrifyingly fast. I mean it. My crawl became 1 big Yost mark bigger (went down) and I think I'd rather get a set of 38 lbs limbs to mitigate this (now going to fix it via Gillo GT riser adjustments). I also have had no clue about how good new Uukha limbs would be since I was going to buy EX1 Evo2 for like 4 months. Yet, no regrets after buying sx50.

[@SvenSan]

@@kirillf.8053 Dude, thanks alot for your insight on this topic and especially your experience with the uukha limbs. This is going to make my decision alot easier.

[@kirillf.8053]

@@SvenSan Cheers!

[@anthonyleger6436]

I tend to describe the feel of Uukha limbs as having little to no stack, kind of like a compound minus the let off.

[@InFerrumVeritas]

I wonder if all the vibration dampening is stealing some speed from the limbs. But yeah, I'm very surprised that this wasn't faster.

[@johnbarron4265]

Manufacturers often claim speed/performance increases well beyond what a typical archer will actually yield with their setup. Not to mention the speed increase claimed by the manufacturer might have been a) measured with super light grain/lbf arrows shot from a shooting machine, or b) exaggerated to create more hype. Also riser-mounted dampeners have zero measurable effect on arrow speed because the extra mass is being added to the riser, not the limbs. Limb-mounted dampeners might cause a very slight decrease in cast.

[@michaelglembourtt1394]

Great video.... I am very interested in your review of the Hoyt Xceed - Velos combination too.

[@YOJIMMIE]

[@garymickus6412]

Hugh, they should!!!

[@blackspeed69007]

Same price as Velos or Mxt 10...

[@archerry6457]

Looking forward to the comparison with win win. They're claiming +12fps over the best laminated limbs. That's huge especially at 90m. My mxt-gf are the fastest limb I've owned and pretty smooth under the clicker but I'm not going to turn down +12fps if it can be substantiated. I've seen chrono results for evo2 limbs and they really are quick compared with laminate limbs in their price bracket so I'm surprised these limbs in this video were so, um, ordinary. After reading the sales hype I was expecting around 210 to be honest, knowing that most x10 shooters are around 200fps anyway.

[@claesjonsson4943]

They should and my are sub par aesthetically but really nice to shoot still.

[@ryrymustardseed3970]

I’ve done like Jake suggested and popped the epoxy coating off or on brand new limbs I use automotive gasket material on the limb contact points which seems to keep the finish from getting destroyed so quickly. Note: I’m not taking my bow down very much. If I did I might use some kind of light adhesive on the small pieces of gasket material.

[@ryanbon]

Great review! Super comprehensive as always Too bad, obviously good limbs but a little disappointing as far as the speed... they market these to be 11 fps faster than the Ex1Evo2's, but you tested those at 46.2# and they were 208fps with an efficiency of 4.5, while these at 46.7 were only 205fps with an efficiency of 4.39. True there might be some other small factors to consider but I would be surprised at this point if the marketing pans out.

[@2SLipo]

This also tells their new line up of limbs is primarily to reduce production cost by having only one limb design/profile (S-Curve) rather than having two (Curve and X-Curve).

[@gerritscharke4109]

I understand that the 100% carbon limbs once stringed, don’t have to be unstringed at all. Carbon will not deteriorate over the years. Other materials will weaken over time. This is one of the advantages comparing them other limbs. Uukha gives a manufacturing guarantee. That means that this limbs should withstand long period stringed. Negativ is that shooting in the sun they get very hot. Further this limbs are very very good and if someone wants carbon and limbs for the rest of the life. Buy them.

[@qiaodantian6661]

great info. Would be really helpful if a review could be done on Hoyt Xceed, it's a hit nowadays....

[@sillybilly7467]

I was longing to see a uukha review from you Jake! Kinda disappointed with the results which seem to be in contrast with other archers on KZbin.. it would be interesting to see you shooting the full uukha gear with riser and limbs

[@paulwg2112]

Another great review!

[@tgallife]

Regarding brace height, Uukha recommended range is lower than other manufacturers. Hoyt is 22.2 to 24. 1 cm and W&W is 22 to 24 cm for a 70" bow. Uukha is 21.5 to 23.5 cm. I have also found that my SX+ are more stable at 21.5 cm (70" as well) - it takes more force to move the string up and down at brace. BTW, I got the same crane scale from Amazon. How do you like it?

[@petersogono6612]

Hi Jake. I’ve enjoyed all your posts. Would like to get your opinion if I can use my short 21” riser with 68” limbs given by a friend. Just damaged my original shorter limbs and I want to use this temporarily

[@vrs76r]

Surprisingly low speeds for their flagship limbs but arrow weight will tell the story also. My numbers from my SX100 which is one level down from the SX+ using a lighter arrow and far less draw weight are quite good IMO SX100 36lb Medium limbs on Gillo GT 25 28.5” draw @ 37.5lb Ace 670 cut 28.85” total arrow length incl point with a 100gn point for 280gn total arrow weight Multiple speed tests all resulted in 202-203fps. I also own the EX1 Evo 2 and the SX100 are so much quieter and the low frequency hum/vibration quietens down almost instantly after release compared to the EX1 which kept humming no matter how good the tune was and these new limbs are 7fps faster then the EX1’s with same draw weight

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

I used the same arrow on the ex1s

[@vrs76r]

Something must be amiss here as the entry level 25% carbon EX1’s were faster than the newest 100% carbon SX+ with same arrows and very close draw weight. Could it possibly be your current riser thats taking some of the speed out of the SX+ limbs as you did try the EX1’s on a different riser? Perhaps putting the SX+ on the same riser you used to speed test the EX1’s for a apples for apples comparison

[@philharding5825]

I believe the Ex1 have a different profile around the foot of the limb, the area around the dove tail. Ex1 will contact the riser inline with the dovetail but the Sx range have a flatter profile , and contact the riser more towards the outer edge of the riser .This may have an influence on comparable results.

[@vrs76r]

@@philharding5825My results showed the new S curve limbs were noticeably faster than the EX1 Evo 2. The day my SX100 arrived I speed tested the EX1 then took them off the riser and put the SX100 on and speed tested and found 7fps faster on the new limb when poundage was set exactly same as EX1’s. I shot 4 arrows with each limb to get consistent speed test results and it was always 6-7fps so i think Jakes result of slower SX+ is either due to pre load on limbs or its riser related. I think if he tests the SX+ on the same riser that he tested the EX1 that the results may tell a different story.

[@vrs76r]

@@JakeKaminskiArchery I think I like to tinker with equipment almost as much as you do, although our abilities are worlds apart but thought you might be interested in this. Whilst we are talking only minimal gains, I just tried a new string made from Mercury to replace my 8125g string. Before swapping strings I tested the 8125g @37.5lb 21.8cm brace and it was bang on the 202-203fps that I got in previous tests. Put the new Mercury string on, set brace height to 21.8 and lb was same and speeds were 205-206fps with Mercury string. Seeing as both Mercury and 8125 are 100% Dyneema, what makes the Mercury string faster and is speed increase is within normal parameters?

[@philipploretini4560]

I’m not sure Jake, but is ,speed per 1 lbs’ a valide measurement to compare the speed of different limbs with different lbs? Wouldn’t that presuppose a linear correlation between limbs lbs and speed? (Of course there is a correlation, but I doubt this is a linear one.) I assume a decreasing marginal speed yield the higher the limbs lbs / draw weight. If so, wouldn’t be the consequence, that it‘s easier for limbs with lower lbs to gain a good result?

[@timschoki5563]

that is indeed the case, especially in higher draw weights. proof: i know someone shooting a 150 lb takedown at about 300mph and he can get to 250mph with about half that draw weight, so the "speed per 1lbs" would totally suck with the 2nd bow, even though its the same limbs (same manufacturer, same design, just diff draw weight)

Speed is important in 3d where you are not sure about exact distance and would prefer a flatter trajectory...speed is not vital while shooting preset distances , there are other things that matter more , dont you agree, Jake ? Anyway 5-10 FPS is next to nothing to warry about

[@HandyL]

Do you now find shooting with a sight feels like you lose some control over the shot process having to rely on a fixed pin as a point of reference versus an arrow point? Like driving a manual shift versus automatic transmission, where the automatic transmission provides maximum efficient control over the shifting that can't be matched by a human manually controlling it. Although the auto shift car is arguably more efficient and higher performing I personally feel more connected and in tune with the motor when manually shifting. It's more involved and the process more complex yet also more engaging which heightens my awareness and increases driving performance. String walking gives you control over the aiming reference point like the manual shift transmission, inconsistent (human error) versus fixed pin but in your control. Mentally this helps me with my shot because I feel I'm more in control.

[@richardlauron6379]

Pretty good bow 🏹

[@mrnice752]

I can say my Border HEX limbs like a very low brace height to tune properly, about an inch lower than standard limbs and need a string 2" longer. I can also say those SX+ limbs look less recurved than my Border CV (conventional) limbs once strung.. I'm not surprised they aren't any faster, any gain they do have is likely just from mass reduction compared to the Ex-1's high glass content. You should contact Sid at Border and see if you can try the real thing! I shoot about 42-44lb OTF with my CV's, and probably get more than 205fps with 32" arrows. What weight are your arrows?

[@laurentsouchaud1371]

Well, one explanation to the sluggish sx + might be that they are shot a their nominal draw weight. Maybe the other sets are cranked up from their nominal draw weight to 5lbs more or so. This really changes a lot, as the limiting factor of speed is mostly the weight of the limb itself. That's why a +135lbs woodand glass recurve shoots +330fps, when a 45lbs cannot reach this speed no matter what arrow is shot. (Source Is German 3d archer somewhere on YT .. ) So if you want to compare apples to apples, i suppose all limbs should at least be shot at their indicated draw weight and with the same gpp.

[@johnbarron4265]

I think you're referring to Bogensport Extrem speed tests of various heavy draw weight hunting recurve bows. In these tests, the arrows being shot are something like 2.5 grain per pound of draw weight, and that's why the speeds achieved were similar to compound bows. Keep in mind these arrows would not be practical with such a heavy bow as they are MASSIVELY underspined for the draw weight. The only reason you wouldn't be able to get that kind of speed out of a 45 lbf bow is because you'd be hard-pressed to find arrows light enough at the required draw length. Also keep in mind that when shooting arrows that light, the bow's life is drastically reduced, and both accuracy and stability suffer. More speed is beneficial, but only to a point.

[@laurentsouchaud1371]

@@johnbarron4265 I see those Bogensport Extreme are famous ! It was the one I was thinking about. Indeed, the gpp is the most relevant factor to explain the speed, of course. But the specific limb weight is a key factor, and this is why limb builders try to make them as light as possible (keeping them relibale ans stable etc...). And the more powerfull the limb, the higher the power/weight ratio is, as the stifness increases with with the cube of the thickness, as the weight incereses linearly with the thickness of the limb (approx because the core is lighter thant the fiber backing). There is noo doubt that a #135 will shoot faster than a 45 at 10gpp. Also, for a given model of limb, there is more material -thus weight- in a #44 limb, than in the same model in #40. So, a set of #40 tuned to 44 will be faster than a pair of 44 tuned at 44, as the power/weight ratio is higher. The smoothness drops, however. And I also agree on all the rest you say !

[@johnbarron4265]

@@laurentsouchaud1371 You do have a good point about limb bolt settings. Each set of limbs Jake sets up on his bow will likely require a different limb bolt setting to achieve an optimal and comfortable tune. And being that the actual draw weight can vary plus or minus 5% from the limb bolt adjustment alone, and further variation could be possible due to a different riser length and limb pad angles, then it is possible that some limbs are being worked less than the nominal amount for their length, while others are worked a bit more, thereby introducing a confounding variable into the efficiency comparison. Long limbs tend to lose efficiency when flexed less than the nominal amount at full draw. Short limbs tend to be more efficient because they must flex the same amount over a shorter length, which stresses the material more and gives a faster cast at the expense of draw smoothness and stability.

I wonder if that low frequency vibration you were feeling is a tiller issue, which could slow the limbs down, I shoot a pair of long 38lb VX+ and they are faster than my old medium 40lb EX1s. On the finish it is a bit odd with Uuhka, they don't need to seal the laminations like other limbs so the clear coat is just cosmetic and very thin so it does tend to mark, maybe they should just leave it off.

[@mrnice752]

More likely a braceheight issue, I know my borders "flutter" a lot if the string is too short. Dead and silent with the correct low BH. The finish is just to protect the carbon wrap, and kept thin to save weight but I agree it looks cheap.

[@williambilse]

I just cracked the seal on a box of brand new Uukhas. They smell like wet lacquer! Like they boxed them up before the clear coat is dry. I wonder if that has anything to do with their notorious finish issues. I'm going to let them air out on my shelf for a few days before stringing them up.

[@TGregers]

They state on their website that it comes with this smell, and that you can easily wash them off with water and soap.

[@ВячеславГребенюков-т1и]

Can you please also weight all those limbs? I mean, physically put them on the kitchen scales. Ideally, center of mass could also be measured (in inches, starting from limb tip). Uukha pretend that their SX+ limbs are among the lightest on the market, if not THE lightest. But since big chunk of weight is located near the dovetail (where it doesn't affect anything) it is important to figure out the weight of the moving part of limb. Also, light limbs only noticeably increase FPS to very light arrows, the ones approaching 5 grain-per-pound. For example, Long Ex1 EVO2 40# are 195 grams per limb, center of mass is 16.5" from the top of the tip (42 cm). Correction: weight per limb 175 => 195; 175 iirc is for 68#34 uukha ex1 evo2.

[@mathiashammar1]

[@dusanpavlovic2201]

what is physical mass of those limbs like 200-300 grams?

[@marktoso3323]

His speed test needs to be qualified. You need to show the draw force curve to know if you are getting the max out of a super recurve limb. It's a bit more touchy than a conventional limb. If you are not pulling them far enough you won't hit the point of maximum energy storage, and thus velocity. If setup properly these limbs will be faster than the others he mentioned.

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

Mark, I agree based on emails I have received from Uukha. But what general consumer knows this, what general consumer would be able to do a draw force curve to choose which limb is right? I bought limbs that would be right for my setup based on other limbs I have. They should have a statement of “for max speed results select limbs that would put your limbs bolts in the ______ position and correct draw weight and length” I am still not sure if that’s in the full in or full out position, and I do not have another ~grand laying around to try. It’s an interesting limb but they need to do a better job explaining these things.

[@marktoso3323]

@@JakeKaminskiArchery I agree, not many consumers understand this, but it's also applicable to conventional limbs too although not to as great an extent. That's why most limb speed tests are not apples to apples. Basically to get the most performance you want to shoot the shortest limb possible, but that varies with riser length, reflex/deflex, limb angles, and draw length so the only way to know for sure is measure the DFC with what you have (or borrow a set) and hope you guess right or can adjust the bolts. But that doesn't stop some other companies from making outrageous speed claims with their super recurve limbs (with some bows costing over $2000). Some of the more outlandish super recurves with giant hooks are inherently unstable. The benefit to the monolithic construction is more torsional stability vs laminated limbs. I appreciate you measuring this, I only wish more did it your way.

Mine are brilliant. On my aix

[@martinMD]

Yes difinetly a wobble after the shot especially on the bottom limb I find

[@michaelburrows7600]

uukha's poor finish is becoming notorious. At this price they should be perfect. I was told that proper varnish would add weight! I'm not sure how proper finish affects either speed or weight.

[@JakeKaminskiArchery]

This is so thick, it would add far less weight with a proper high solids automotive finish.

As far as I know, on Uukha limbs, the tyler should be zero. To be fact checked.

Barebow is a recurve bow ....lol 😆

[@2SLipo]

He used to shoot for Olympics and they simply refer to their fully-decked bows as "recurve". Are you a compound guy? ;)

@@2SLipo lol ...And you are pointing out what ! A bare bow is a recurve bow ..

@@neilbrooks127 I was just kidding. The thing is the compound guys at our club refer to everything with curved limbs (fully-decked olympic style, barebow, instinctive-class) as recurve.

[@massimobellicini6270]

I hate these small tips. I found much more complicated to string my bow, I had to buy a new stringer. Limbs are good anyways. Thumbs down for the tips.

[@earlofcockwood1988]

Yeah thats why you don‘t change brace hight on a strung bow. You will damage the Libs.
