Excellent quality limb for the price. The appearance and workmansip is flawless. They seemed to be a bit heavier than the rated weight, but adjusting the limb bolts out a bit on my bow took care of that. They are a smooth drawing limb, and much faster than I expected. They do hit hard, and I experienced much deeper penetration in the target foam than expected. I would highly recommend them for an entry/intermediate level shooter. The next step up would be carbon/foam, but at a much higher price. Overall, I would highly recommend these limbs for 3D or hunting. And of course value for the money is top notch. And Lancaster has excellent customer service.

I have both 35# and 40# sets of these limbs. The 40# set weigh out at 37# (expected 38#) and the 35# set weigh out at a very light 26# (expected 33#) on my Pinnacle II riser. These weights are measured at the risers minimum weight setting. Both sets draw smoothly and shoot well. I thought about trying to send the lighter set back, but the lower weights were helpful in my shoulder rehab and now come in handy while shooting with first time shooters.

These limbs in 45# are mounted on my Hoyt Excel 21 inch riser. This limb and riser combination makes for a great recurve set up at a very attractive price. Have shot it now for two weeks and I have to say it shoots great. Workmanship is good. I am very satisfied with the performance and quality considering the low price. Compare these limbs to other brand name limbs and you will see the cost difference. I would recommend these limbs to anyone wanting quality, performance and value in a ILF recurve limb.

Excellent quality for the price. These limbs shoot as well as limbs that I have had that were much more expensive. The poundage was exactly as stated and exactly what I needed.

They shoot as well as far more expensive limbs I have owned.

Purchased a 21" Excel riser and John added Trad Tech Black Max limbs in the weight I desired. He really worked hard to set it up just as I desired it to be....and he succeeded. I have compounds and one piece recurves and longbow, but I do believe this has become my new favorite. This has the longest length of any of them at 66" ("long" limbs on 21" riser) and is a very smooth shooting bow. While it is cut past center, John set it up with nice appearing stiff felt - shaped appropriately - to create an off the shelf shooting platform which - at 43# - will shoot my 1916 and 2013 arrows with precision. He added adjustable nock points on the string, and all arrows shot true with no further adjustment.
I am very satisfied with the bow, consider it a valuable purchase and would highly recommend it to all. The service at Lancaster has been excellent. Thank you, John!
