WIAWIS MXT Limbs - First Impression

Andrew and Brandon gives us their first impression on MXT Wood and Foam Core limbs.

I have a question concerning the bow weight compared to the NS Limbs. I experienced that the MXT-GF in 70"/42# provide even a little bit more poundage than compared to the NS limbs in 70"/44# which should definitely not be the case. We measured both limbs on the same riser (CXT) without changing the tiller settings with the same bow scale multiple times and always came with BOTH limbs to roundabout 44 pounds at 28" draw length (AMO-standard). The MXT-GF limbs were sent back to the distributor and from there on back to W&W. They measured those on an ATF-X riser and came to 42 pounds. So they rejected the complaint. So my question is: Do you experience similar problems when you are measuring your bow weight with these different kind of limbs (NS/ MXT-GF)? I would really appreciate if you could check this! Thanks!

I experienced differences between the poundage on the limb and the real one too. I have a wiawis riser and my wiawis #38-68 limbs are at 38.5# at the minimum at my draw lenght 27". I got the TFT-G riser now and they are only at 36# at the factory setting. I have now 37.5# with 3 turns and I think I will not get more than 39# at the maximum! This show that the poundage depends on the riser too and I guess they measure it on the one that comes with the limbs. My previous limbs (SF ones) had some differences too, lighter or normal poundage on the Wiawis riser. By the way, even if I am only at 37.5# on the TFT-G riser instead of 39.5# on the Wiawis one, I had to make one full turn on my plunger as my arrows were too smooth! It was the same at 36#. This means that TFT-G is 3# faster that the Wiawis one I guess...

Thanks so much for the detailed review. I was checking both of you draw. Breaking your wrist, you have engaged your biceps, draw elbow would always remain outside the arrow line. Would this be a concern?

Sorry, but... the pricing doesn't make any sense to me. Why should the wood core (1970's technique) limbs cost the same as the ultra modern Noble price NANO GRAPHENE + Foam core limbs?

[@brandonxuereb6505]

That's a really good question! I would guess the main reason being that both limbs have graphene in them. While wood cores have been around for decades, foam cores are becoming more and more streamlined themselves. In that regard, the price difference wouldn't be worth what the shooter would get out of either limb, so it's easier to make them the same.
